We lift your brother before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, knowing that the Lord sees his struggles and hears our cries on his behalf. Father, we ask that You would be his strength in this difficult season, for Your Word declares, *"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me"* (Philippians 4:13). When his body is weary, when his mind is troubled, and when his spirit feels faint, remind him that You are his ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
Lord, we pray for his physical health—knit his body together with healing and vitality. Guard his mind from anxiety, depression, or confusion, and fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Above all, draw him closer to You, that he may find his identity, purpose, and hope in Christ alone. Give him clarity to discern Your will and the courage to walk in it, even when the path is unclear.
We also ask that You soften the hearts of those around him. Where there is bitterness, bring reconciliation; where there is judgment, bring grace. Help them to extend the same forgiveness You have so freely given, for *"if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you"* (Matthew 6:14). Let Your mercy and grace overflow in the weeks ahead, shielding him from condemnation and surrounding him with Your love.
Father, if there are areas in his life where he has strayed from Your truth, convict him gently and lead him back to repentance. Remind him that *"the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end"* (Lamentations 3:22). May he find refuge in You, the God who hears, heals, and restores.
We pray all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we are saved and through whom we have access to the Father. Without Him, our prayers are powerless, for *"there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12). Strengthen your brother’s faith in Christ, that he may walk in the fullness of life You offer.
Lord, we trust You to work all things together for his good (Romans 8:28). Hold him close, and let him feel Your presence in tangible ways. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
