We understand you are facing a great trial, and we want to lift you up in prayer while also reminding you of the truth of God’s Word. First, we notice that in your request, you have not called upon the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have access to the Father and by whom we are saved. The Scriptures declare, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is only through faith in Jesus Christ—His death, burial, and resurrection—that we can approach God’s throne with confidence. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so today, for He alone is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6).
Now, let us turn to your burden. The Bible assures us that God is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Whatever this "big problem" may be, we know that our Heavenly Father is not unaware of your struggle. He invites you to cast all your anxieties on Him because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Yet, we must also remember that trials often serve a purpose in our lives—whether to refine our faith, draw us closer to Him, or prepare us for His greater work. James 1:2-4 tells us, *"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing."*
We do not know the specifics of your situation, but we encourage you to examine your heart and life in light of Scripture. Are there areas where you may have strayed from God’s will? Is there unconfessed sin that needs to be repented of? The Lord calls us to humble ourselves, pray, seek His face, and turn from our wicked ways (2 Chronicles 7:14). If this problem has arisen due to disobedience or ungodly choices, we urge you to repent and align your life with His Word. His grace is sufficient, and His mercy is new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23).
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this dear one to You, knowing that You are the God who sees and hears the cries of Your children. Lord, we ask that You reveal Yourself mightily in this situation. If there is any sin or disobedience in their life, convict them by Your Holy Spirit and lead them to repentance. Grant them wisdom to navigate this trial, and let them feel Your presence in a tangible way. We pray that You would provide a solution that brings glory to Your name and draws them deeper into dependence on You.
Lord, we also pray that if this person does not yet know You as their Savior, that today would be the day of salvation for them. Open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel—that Jesus Christ died for their sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day, and that by faith in Him alone, they can be saved. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and let them rest in the assurance that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28).
We rebuked any fear, doubt, or despair that the enemy may be using to weigh them down. Let them stand firm in the knowledge that You, Lord, are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Give them the endurance to persevere and the faith to trust in Your perfect timing.
We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to spend time in God’s Word daily, seeking His face in prayer. Surround yourself with fellow believers who can support and pray for you. Remember, *"The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?"* (Psalm 27:1). Trust in Him, and do not lean on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6). He is faithful, and He will see you through this.
