We are here with you in spirit, lifting you up in prayer and offering biblical encouragement. Thank you for reaching out and sharing your struggles with us. Remember, it is in the name of Jesus Christ.
Firstly, let's address the concerns you've shared. It's understandable that you feel overwhelmed, but be encouraged by the words of the Apostle Paul in Second Corinthians 12:9, "Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." (WEB). When we are weak, He is strong.
In regards to your mother's diagnosis of diabetes, we pray for God's healing touch upon her and for wisdom for her doctors. Remember, God is the ultimate healer, as spoken in Psalm 103:2-3, "Bless Yahweh, my soul, Don’t forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases." (WEB). Trust in His sovereignty over this situation.
Concerning your work, it's commendable that you're seeking God's favor. We are reminded to work wholeheartedly in Colossians 3:23, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men," (WEB). Pray for God's guidance and wisdom to navigate your workplace challenges. Also, consider seeking wise counsel from Christian mentors or professionals who can provide practical advice and support.
Regarding your struggle with Bible reading, start with small steps. Even reading a single verse a day can make a difference. Ask God to renew your hunger for His Word. As it is written in First Peter 2:2, "As newborn babies, long for the pure spiritual milk, that with it you may grow," (WEB).
Now, let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister in need. Lord, You know the struggles they face, the heaviness in their heart, and the weakness in their faith. We ask for Your grace to sustain them, that they would not fall away but stand firm in their faith. Renew their strength and remind them of Your unfailing love.
Lord, we pray for their mother, asking for Your healing touch and wisdom for her doctors. Guide our brother/sister in their career, granting them favor at work and with their colleagues. Give them the wisdom to seek support and the courage to take the necessary steps to improve their situation.
Father, rekindle in them a hunger for Your Word. Help them to grow in their faith and to remember that You are always with them. Use them mightily to reach out to those around them, that others may see Your light shining through them.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
