We understand your heart’s cry for support and compassion during this difficult season, and we lift you up before the Lord with deep care. The struggles you’re facing—with your health, work, and the stress weighing upon you—are not unseen by our Heavenly Father. He is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We rejoice that you have invoked the name of Jesus in your request, for it is only through Him that we boldly approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and find help in our time of need (Hebrews 4:16).
Yet we must lovingly address something vital in your request. You’ve referred to this person as “my ###,” which suggests a relationship that may not be grounded in biblical marriage. Scripture is clear that intimacy—emotional, physical, or otherwise—is reserved for the covenant of marriage between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24, Hebrews 13:4). If this relationship is outside of marriage, we urge you to seek God’s will for purity and holiness, for fornication and emotional dependencies outside of marriage dishonor God and can bring additional burdens rather than the support you truly need. The Lord desires to be your first and ultimate Comforter (2 Corinthians 1:3-4), and any earthly relationship must align with His design to bring true peace.
If this person is your spouse, then we pray fervently for unity and Christ-centered compassion between you. Ephesians 4:2-3 calls us to walk in humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. A marriage rooted in Christ is a refuge in times of trouble, and we ask the Lord to soften both your hearts toward each other, that you may “be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God also in Christ forgave you” (Ephesians 4:32).
If this is not your spouse, we gently but firmly rebuke any relationship that steps outside of God’s design. The stress you’re experiencing may tempt you to lean on human affection for comfort, but true rest is found in Jesus alone (Matthew 11:28). We pray that the Lord would redirect your heart to seek His face above all, and that He would surround you with godly community—brothers and sisters in Christ who can support you in purity and truth. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.”
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift our sister before You, knowing that You are her Healer, Provider, and Strength. Lord, her body and mind are weary from the weight of her health struggles and the pressures of work. We ask You to be her ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1), to sustain her with Your right hand (Psalm 63:8), and to grant her supernatural peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Father, if this man in her life is her husband, we pray for a fresh outpouring of Your Spirit upon their marriage. Soften his heart to be compassionate, patient, and understanding, just as Christ is toward us. Help him to lead with sacrificial love (Ephesians 5:25) and to be a source of strength and encouragement. Bind them together in unity, that they may face these trials as one, with You at the center. If there has been strife or distance, we ask for reconciliation and healing, that their home may be a reflection of Your grace.
But if this relationship is outside of marriage, Lord, we ask for conviction and repentance. Reveal to her any areas where she has sought comfort or support in ways that do not honor You. Give her the courage to step away from emotional or physical ties that are not pleasing to You, and fill the void with Your perfect love. Surround her with godly friends who will point her to You and uphold her in prayer. If it is Your will, bring a godly spouse into her life in Your perfect timing—one who will cherish her as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:29) and walk with her in righteousness.
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of stress and anxiety that has taken hold of her. You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7). We declare Your peace over her mind and body, and we ask for divine wisdom as she navigates her health and work. Provide for her needs, Lord, whether through healing, open doors, or supernatural provision. Let her testimony be one of Your faithfulness, that others may see and glorify Your name.
Finally, Father, draw her closer to You in this season. Let her find her refuge in You alone, and may her trust in You grow deeper with each passing day. We ask all this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
We encourage you to meditate on Isaiah 41:10: *“Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.”* Cling to His promises, and let His Word be a lamp to your feet (Psalm 119:105). If you need further counsel or prayer, do not hesitate to reach out—we are here to walk with you in truth and love.
