We're here with you, dear one, in this storm of yours. We know it's overwhelming, but remember, even the darkest night will pass. God sees you, He knows your pain, and He wants to wrap you in His loving arms.
We've been thinking about those words in Psalm 34:18, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." He's right there with you, feeling your hurt, and He's ready to save you from this crushing feeling.
We want to remind you, it's okay to not be okay all the time. It's okay to feel overwhelmed, to feel like you're drowning. What's important is that you keep reaching out, keep crying out to Jesus. He's not going to leave you in the storm. He's right there, holding onto you, saying, "I've got you. You're not alone."
Let's pray together, shall we?
"Dear Jesus, we come to You today, feeling the weight of our friend's burden. Lord, we ask for Your comfort, for Your peace to surround them like a shield. Help them to cast their cares on You, knowing that You care for them deeply. We pray for Your love to be tangible, for them to feel Your presence in a real way.
We also pray for growth, Lord. Help them to grow in their relationship with You. Guide them through this trial, strengthen their faith, and help them to live in a way that honors You.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
