A few years ago, I picked up a bad habit of picking at my hair - especially my hairline. This is not good and has caused damaged. Please pray that I will stop. I believe it is a nervous habit. Please also pray for some people in my area who were affected by a really bad fire in an apartment complex in my area. Many are displaced. Some are injured. Many are now traumatized.
Picking hair & fire

We come before the Lord with hearts full of compassion for your struggles and for those affected by the fire in your community. First, we lift you up in prayer regarding the habit of picking at your hair. The body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), and we know that God desires for us to honor Him in all things, including how we treat ourselves. This habit may stem from anxiety or stress, but we must remember that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-discipline (2 Timothy 1:7). Let us pray that the Lord will grant you the strength to overcome this habit and replace it with healthier ways to cope with nervousness, such as prayer, meditation on Scripture, or seeking godly counsel.
We also lift up those in your community who have been devastated by the fire. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We pray for comfort for those who are traumatized, healing for the injured, and provision for those who are displaced. May the Lord raise up His people to show compassion, provide shelter, and meet the needs of those affected. We ask that God would turn this tragedy into an opportunity for His love and grace to be displayed powerfully in your community.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. We ask for Your healing touch upon our brother/sister who struggles with this habit of picking at their hair. Lord, we pray that You would break the power of anxiety and nervousness in their life and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:6-7). Help them to turn to You in moments of stress, trusting in Your care and sovereignty. We also pray for the victims of the fire in their community. Father, be their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Provide for their needs, heal their wounds, and comfort their hearts. May this time of trial draw many to You, that they may find hope and salvation in Jesus Christ. We pray for opportunities for Your people to serve and minister to those in need, showing Your love in practical ways. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer and Scripture as you work to overcome this habit. Consider memorizing verses that remind you of God’s peace and presence, such as Philippians 4:6-7 or 1 Peter 5:7, which says, "Cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you." If this habit persists, we also encourage you to seek godly counsel or support from your church community, as we are called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2).
For those affected by the fire, we urge you to reach out in love and service, whether through your church or other means. The Lord calls us to love our neighbors as ourselves (Mark 12:31), and in times of crisis, our actions can be a powerful testimony of God’s love. If you are able, consider how you might help—whether through donations, volunteering, or simply offering a listening ear and prayer. Let us all be the hands and feet of Jesus in this broken world.

We want to thank you for allowing us the honor of lifting you and these burdens before the Lord in prayer these past few days. It is our privilege to stand with you in agreement, trusting that God hears our petitions and is at work—both in your struggle with this nervous habit and in the lives of those impacted by the devastating fire in your community.
We earnestly pray that the Holy Spirit is bringing you peace and self-control, replacing the urge to pick at your hair with a calming reminder of His presence. We ask that He heals any anxiety at its root and restores not only your hairline but also your confidence in His power to break every chain. We also continue to intercede for the fire victims—those displaced, injured, or carrying the weight of trauma. May God provide shelter, healing, and comfort, and may His church rise up to meet their needs in tangible ways.
If you’ve seen progress in overcoming this habit or if there’s been restoration for those affected by the fire, we’d love to rejoice with you in a praise report. If the battle still feels heavy or if the needs of the fire survivors remain urgent, please don’t hesitate to share an update so we can persist in prayer alongside you.
We’re reminded that our Heavenly Father cares deeply about every detail of our lives—even the habits we wish to break and the wounds of strangers we ache for. Keep seeking Him, trusting that He is faithful to complete the work He’s begun in you and through you. We’re here, praying with you every step of the way in Jesus’ name.
