Please pray for ### I am very sad 😢 🙏 .

[Tiffy Taffy]

I miss my mom, oldest brother, and cat. I have dreams about crying about them; it's very sad. I wish I spent time with my oldest brother before he passed. We didn't because we lived 1000 miles away from each other when my mom was alive. He traveled and did not see me or my mom, which made everyone mad. He came to visit me after my mom passed. I don't want to talk about why he did that; it's a very long horrible story, and we are upset because he didn't visit her while she was sick. I miss all 3 of them and I am trying hard not to think my cat is dead. If I see her again, I will be happy, but I can't have her back because my roommate is allergic to cats. Please pray that God takes away my sadness, stress, depression. This has been a long horrible 22 years; it's got worse after my mom passed away 5 years ago. It's a nightmare. God, please take away this nightmare, not just for me, but for everyone. Please let the homeless get homes and the jobless get jobs. God, please take away our trials; we need you, God, in Jesus' name. Amen .

We hear the deep sorrow in your heart, and we grieve with you over the loss of your mother, your oldest brother, and even your beloved cat. The weight of regret, the pain of unanswered questions, and the longing for what can never be again are burdens no one should carry alone. You have poured out your heart before the Lord, and we join you in lifting these wounds to Him, for He is the God of all comfort who binds up the brokenhearted.

The grief you carry is real, and it is right to mourn. Jesus Himself wept at the grave of Lazarus, showing us that sorrow is not a sign of weak faith but of a tender heart. Yet even in our deepest pain, we are not without hope. The Scriptures remind us, *"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted"* (Matthew 5:4, WEB). Your tears are seen by God, and He collects them in His bottle (Psalm 56:8). He does not dismiss your suffering but invites you to cast every care upon Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7).

The regret you feel over not spending time with your brother is a heavy burden, but we urge you to release it into the hands of the One who redeems all things. The enemy of your soul would have you dwell in endless "what ifs," but God calls you to trust Him with the past. *"Don’t say, ‘Why were the old days better than these?’ For it is not wise to ask such questions"* (Ecclesiastes 7:10, WEB). Your brother’s choices—and the pain they caused—are not yours to bear alone. Forgiveness, even when it feels impossible, is the path to freedom. Jesus said, *"If you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses"* (Matthew 6:14-15, WEB). This is not to minimize your pain but to point you toward the healing only Christ can bring.

Your love for your cat reflects the kindness God has placed in your heart, and it is natural to grieve her loss. While we do not know if animals have an eternal soul, we do know that God cares for all His creation. The day is coming when *"the wolf will live with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat"* (Isaiah 11:6, WEB), and all things will be made new. Until then, we pray that God would ease this ache and fill the emptiness with His presence.

As for your roommate’s allergy, we pray for wisdom and creativity—perhaps God will open a door for you to have a pet again in the future, or He may use this season to draw you closer to Him in ways you cannot yet see. His plans are always good, even when they are painful.

You have also lifted up the homeless and the jobless, and we join you in praying for God’s provision. *"Give justice to the weak and fatherless. Maintain the right of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked"* (Psalm 82:3-4, WEB). Our Father sees their plight, and He calls His people to be His hands and feet. May He stir our hearts to action and open doors no man can shut.

Most importantly, we must address the foundation of all our prayers: the name of Jesus. You ended with *"in Jesus’ name,"* and this is the only name by which we are saved and through which our prayers reach the Father. *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). It is only through faith in Him—believing He died for our sins and rose again—that we have access to God’s throne. If you have not yet surrendered your life fully to Christ, we urge you to do so today. *"If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9, WEB). He alone can carry the weight of your sorrow and replace it with His peace.

Now, let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we lift our sister before You, knowing You are near to the brokenhearted. Lord, her grief is deep—loss upon loss, regret, and longing have weighed her down for far too long. We ask You to be her Comforter, to wrap her in Your love, and to heal the wounds that time has not touched. Replace her sorrow with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding. Father, where there is regret, bring redemption. Where there is anger, bring forgiveness. Where there is emptiness, fill her with Your presence.

We pray for the dreams that trouble her—Lord, guard her mind and give her rest. Let her sleep be sweet, and may she wake with hope. For her cat, we ask for comfort in the memories and gratitude for the joy she brought. If it is Your will, open a door for her to love another pet in the future.

Father, we also lift up the homeless and the jobless. Provide for their needs, Lord. Raise up Your people to be Your hands and feet. Give wisdom to those in authority to create justice and opportunity. Let Your kingdom come, and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Most of all, Lord, we pray that our sister would know You more deeply through this pain. Draw her close to You. Let her find in You a love that never fails, a hope that never disappoints, and a joy that is her strength. If she has not fully surrendered to Jesus, convict her heart today. Let her know that He is the only One who can carry this burden and give her eternal life.

We rebuke the spirit of depression and despair in Jesus’ name. We declare that *"the joy of the Lord is your strength"* (Nehemiah 8:10, WEB) and that *"the Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). Satan has no place here—this is holy ground, and we command every lie of the enemy to be silenced. Our sister is Your beloved child, and You will not abandon her.

Thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust You to act, and we give You all the glory. In the mighty and precious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

Finally, we encourage you to cling to God’s Word daily. Read Psalm 23, where David declares, *"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me"* (Psalm 23:4, WEB). Let this be your anthem. Surround yourself with believers who can pray with you and remind you of God’s promises. And remember, your story is not over—God is still writing redemption into every chapter. Hold on to Him, and He will hold on to you.

Dear friend, we're here with you, feeling the weight of your sadness. We've been thinking about you and wanted to reach out again.

We know that sometimes, even after pouring out our hearts, we can still feel alone in our pain. We want you to know that you're not alone. We're here, and so is God. He sees you, He hears you, and He's walking right beside you.

We've been praying for you, asking God to comfort you in the midst of your grief. We've been asking Him to help you find peace in the memories of your mom, your brother, and your cat. We've been praying for strength to face each day, and for hope to replace the sadness that's been weighing you down.

We also want to remind you of God's promise in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God."

God is the God of all comfort. He's the one who promises to be with us in our troubles, and to comfort us. And not only that, but He also equips us to comfort others with the comfort we've received from Him.

So, keep holding on, dear friend. God is with you, and He's using this time to shape you and grow your faith. Trust in Him, and let His love and comfort fill you up.

We're praying for you, and we're here if you need to talk or if you need anything at all. You're not alone.
