We hear your cry for help, and we stand with you before the throne of grace, lifting your burdens to the Lord. First, we must address a few things with love and truth. While we understand your distress, we must gently correct the use of "Yahweh" in this context. The name above all names is Jesus Christ, for it is written, *"Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth"* (Philippians 2:9-10). There is no other name by which we are saved—*"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me'"* (John 14:6). Salvation is found in Christ alone, and it is through Him that we approach the Father.
Now, we lift your concerns to the Lord with fervent prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer. Lord, we lift up this dear one who is facing overwhelming challenges—financial burdens, illness, and the weight of ungodly influences. Father, You see the outrageous prices and the lack of integrity in those who are supposed to help. You are the God who provides, and we ask that You open doors no man can shut. *"The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing"* (Psalm 34:10). Lord, we rebuke the spirit of greed and exploitation in Jesus’ name. Let Your justice prevail, and let those who seek to take advantage be brought to accountability.
Father, we also pray for protection from the neighbor who is causing harm. *"Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man"* (Psalm 71:4). Lord, surround this one with Your hedge of protection, and let Your peace guard their heart and mind. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, for You are their refuge and strength.
Lord, we ask for a miracle—open doors of opportunity, provision, and healing. You are the God who heals, and we trust in Your power to restore health and strength. *"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed"* (Isaiah 53:5). We believe in Your promise of healing, and we stand on it.
Father, we also pray for trustworthy people to come into their life—those who will walk in integrity and reflect Your love. *"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want"* (Psalm 23:1). You are their provider, and we trust You to bring the right people at the right time.
Lastly, Lord, we ask that You draw this one closer to You. Let them find their strength, hope, and identity in Christ alone. *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest"* (Matthew 11:28). May they find peace in Your presence and trust in Your perfect timing.
We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Dear one, we encourage you to hold fast to God’s promises. The enemy may try to discourage you, but remember that *"greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4). Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith. Seek Him in prayer, spend time in His Word, and surround yourself with believers who can encourage and support you. God is faithful, and He will not abandon you. Trust in Him, and He will make your paths straight.
