We hear your heart in this request, though the details were not fully shared. Struggles are a part of life in this fallen world, but we serve a God who is greater than any trial we face. The Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 10:13, "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." This verse reminds us that God will never leave us to face our struggles alone—He provides a way out.
If your struggles involve sin, we must address that with truth and love. Sin separates us from God, but the blood of Jesus cleanses us when we repent. 1 John 1:9 says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." There is no sin too great for God’s grace, but we must turn from it and seek His forgiveness.
If your struggles are emotional or physical, we know that God cares deeply about your pain. Psalm 34:18 assures us, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." You are not forgotten, and your suffering is seen by the Lord.
If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ, we must share that salvation is found in Him alone. Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have never surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection, and invite Him to be Lord of your life.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts heavy for our brother or sister who is facing struggles. Lord, You know the details even when we do not, and You are faithful to meet them in their need. We ask that You would strengthen them, give them wisdom, and draw them closer to You. If there is sin in their life, reveal it to them, Lord, and lead them to repentance. If they are hurting, comfort them with Your presence. If they do not yet know You, open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel. We declare that no struggle is too great for You, and we trust You to work all things for their good. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to seek godly counsel, whether through a pastor, a trusted believer, or Scripture. Surround yourself with people who will point you to Christ. Remember, Philippians 4:13 says, "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me." You are not alone—God is with you, and so are we. Keep pressing into Him, and He will lead you to victory.
