We hear your cry for help in this difficult season, and we stand with you in faith, lifting your burdens before the throne of grace. The weight of life’s trials can feel overwhelming, but we know that our God is a refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). He sees your struggles—whether they be in health, relationships, finances, or the weariness of the soul—and He invites you to cast all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7).
First, we want to reaffirm that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. There is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Him, we urge you to consider the gift of salvation He offers. Jesus said, *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest"* (Matthew 11:28). He is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6), and in Him alone do we find true healing and hope.
Now, we lift you up in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer. Lord, we ask for Your healing touch to rest upon [this dear one] in every area of their life. Where there is physical pain, bring restoration. Where there is emotional turmoil, bring Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Where there is financial strain, provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Where there is brokenness in relationships, mend what is fractured and draw hearts back to You.
We also pray for the people around the world who are suffering—those in war-torn nations, those facing persecution, those who are hungry or oppressed. Lord, let Your mercy and justice prevail. Raise up leaders who fear You, and let Your love compel us to act with compassion toward our neighbors near and far.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of despair and hopelessness that seeks to take root in this season. We declare that no weapon formed against [this one] will prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that You are working all things together for their good, for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28). Strengthen their faith, Lord, and remind them that You are their ever-present help.
We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and King. Amen.
In this season, we encourage you to draw near to God, for He has promised that if you draw near to Him, He will draw near to you (James 4:8). Spend time in His Word, for it is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105). Surround yourself with fellow believers who can uplift you in prayer and encouragement. And remember, even when the road is hard, Jesus has overcome the world (John 16:33). You are not alone—He is with you, and so are we. Keep pressing into Him.
