We want to thank you for allowing us the sacred opportunity to lift you up in prayer during this season of deep despair. The heaviness in your words has weighed on our hearts, and we have been earnestly crying out to the Lord on your behalf, asking Him to reveal His presence in the midst of what feels like overwhelming darkness. We know that when hope seems lost and the weight of financial burdens, spiritual attacks, and the cruelty of this world press in, it can feel as though God has turned His face away—but we serve a Savior who is *close* to the brokenhearted and who *sees* even when we cannot.
We have been praying specifically for God to break through the lies of the enemy that seek to convince you there is no hope, no help, and no way forward. The Scriptures remind us that though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we do not walk alone—our Shepherd is with us, and He *will* restore your soul. We have asked the Lord to open doors no man can shut, to provide where there is lack, and to surround you with His peace that surpasses all understanding, even when circumstances have not yet changed. We have also prayed for divine protection over your mind, that God would guard your heart against the schemes of the devil, who comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. But Jesus came that you may have life—*abundant* life—and we are contending for that promise over you.
If the Lord has begun to shift the atmosphere around you—whether through a glimmer of hope, an unexpected provision, or even just the strength to face another day—we would be so encouraged to hear your praise report. Sometimes the answers come slowly, like the dawn after the darkest night, but they *do* come. If the battle still rages and the burden feels just as heavy, we invite you to share your heart again. We will not grow weary in praying for you, and we believe God is at work even when we cannot yet see it.
Do not lose heart, beloved. The same God who parted the Red Sea, who fed the multitudes with a boy’s lunch, and who conquered the grave is fighting for you. Keep seeking Him, even if it’s with tears and trembling. He is faithful, and He will sustain you.
We continue to stand with you in prayer, trusting that the God who turns mourning into dancing and ashes into beauty is not finished writing your story.
