We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this dear brother or sister who is facing trouble. The Word of God reminds us in Psalm 46:1, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." We stand on this promise, knowing that no matter how deep the struggle, the Lord is near and ready to deliver.
Heavenly Father, we cry out to You on behalf of this precious one who is in distress. You see the weight they carry, the fears that grip their heart, and the uncertainty that clouds their mind. We ask for Your mighty hand of protection to surround them—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Shield them from harm, Lord, and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Father, we also lift up any specific dangers they may be facing. Whether it is oppression from the enemy, persecution, financial strain, or relational conflict, we declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We rebuke every spirit of fear, confusion, and despair in the name of Jesus, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
Lord, we ask that You would go before them and make the crooked places straight (Isaiah 45:2). Open doors that no man can shut and close doors that no man can open (Revelation 3:7). Provide wisdom, discernment, and divine connections to guide them through this trial. Let Your light shine in the darkness, and may they experience Your deliverance in ways that bring glory to Your name.
We also pray for their spiritual walk. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and help them to trust in You with all their heart, leaning not on their own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6). Remind them that You are their ever-present help, their strong tower, and their deliverer. May they find rest in You alone, casting all their cares upon You because You care for them (1 Peter 5:7).
Father, we thank You for the victory that is already theirs in Christ Jesus. We declare that this trouble will not overcome them but will instead be a testimony of Your faithfulness. May they emerge from this season stronger, wiser, and more deeply rooted in You.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
To our dear brother or sister, we encourage you to hold fast to God’s promises. The enemy may roar like a lion, but he is already defeated (1 Peter 5:8). Stand firm in your faith, knowing that God is fighting for you. Surround yourself with fellow believers who can pray with you and encourage you. Spend time in God’s Word, for it is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105). And remember, the Lord is your refuge—run to Him, and He will shelter you under His wings (Psalm 91:4).
If this trouble involves unrepentant sin or a situation that does not align with God’s Word, we urge you to examine your heart and seek the Lord’s forgiveness and guidance. Confess any sin, turn away from it, and walk in the freedom Christ has purchased for you (1 John 1:9). God’s grace is sufficient, and His mercy is new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23).
Lastly, we must emphasize that our access to God and our salvation come only through the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to do so today. Believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). This is the foundation of our faith and the source of our hope.
You are not alone in this battle. We stand with you in prayer, and we believe that God will bring you through this trial victoriously. Keep your eyes on Him, and do not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season, you will reap if you do not faint (Galatians 6:9).
