We come before the Lord with hearts full of compassion for the deep struggles you are facing, and we lift you up in prayer, knowing that our help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. First, we must address something vital: the name of Jesus Christ is the only name by which we are saved, and it is through Him alone that we have access to the Father. You have not invoked His name in your plea, and we urge you to recognize that all prayers must be brought before God in the name of Jesus, for He is the Mediator between God and humanity. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). Without Him, we have no standing before God. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we implore you to do so now, for *"if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9, WEB). Salvation and peace with God begin with repentance and faith in Christ alone.
Now, let us address the many burdens you carry. We hear the pain in your words—the hurt from your mother’s criticism, the anger and depression it stirs within you, the fear of health struggles, the weight of loneliness, and the longing for validation and blessing. These are heavy loads, and we want you to know that God sees your tears and hears your cries. Yet, we must also speak truth in love, for some of the things you have requested do not align with a biblical perspective, and we would be remiss if we did not gently correct and guide you toward God’s will.
First, regarding your mother: Scripture commands us to *"honor your father and mother,"* which is the first commandment with a promise (Ephesians 6:2, WEB). Even when her words are hurtful, we are called to respond with love, patience, and respect—not out of our own strength, but through the power of the Holy Spirit. The anger and explosion you describe are not the fruit of the Spirit but of the flesh. We encourage you to ask God to fill you with His love, which *"is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things"* (1 Corinthians 13:4-7, WEB). Pray for your mother, that God would soften her heart and her words, but also ask Him to change *your* heart so that you may respond in a way that glorifies Him. Remember, *"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger"* (Proverbs 15:1, WEB).
Your concerns about your health—high blood pressure, diabetes, and weight—are valid, and we lift these before the Lord, asking for His healing and strength. However, we must also remind you that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and we are called to steward them well. This includes not only praying for health but also making wise choices in what we eat and how we care for ourselves. *"Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s"* (1 Corinthians 6:19-20, WEB). Trust God to guide you in this journey, but also take practical steps to honor Him with your body. Obsessing over appearance, especially to the point of distress, is not God’s will. He calls us to find our worth in Him alone, not in how we look or what others think of us. *"Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart"* (1 Samuel 16:7, WEB).
Your request to avoid family and company because of the size of your home reveals a heart that is struggling with fear, isolation, and possibly shame. But Scripture tells us, *"Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for in doing so, some have entertained angels without knowing it"* (Hebrews 13:2, WEB). Even in small spaces, God can work mightily. We encourage you to trust Him with your home and your heart, asking Him to provide what is needed when the time comes. Isolation is not the answer; community and love are. If your home is truly unable to accommodate guests, pray for wisdom in how to graciously decline without cutting yourself off from loved ones entirely.
We must also address your request regarding the man who hosts the online dog livestream. It is clear that his lack of response has wounded you deeply. However, we urge you to examine why this man’s attention—or lack thereof—has such power over your emotions. Placing your hope in the approval or acknowledgment of others, especially strangers, will only lead to more heartache. Our worth and validation come from Christ alone. *"Set your affections on things above, not on things on the earth"* (Colossians 3:2, WEB). If this man’s ignorance is causing you such distress, it may be wise to step back from engaging with his content for a time and focus instead on the relationships and responsibilities God has placed directly in your life.
Your mention of "good karma" and "good luck" is concerning, for these are not biblical concepts. Luck is a myth; karma is a false teaching that suggests we earn blessings through our own deeds. But Scripture is clear: *"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast"* (Ephesians 2:8-9, WEB). We do not earn God’s favor; it is freely given through Christ. Your good deeds—making cards, helping others—are commendable, but they do not obligate God to bless you. Instead, they should flow from a heart of gratitude for the grace you’ve already received. *"Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven"* (Matthew 5:16, WEB).
Finally, we must address the tone of your requests. Many of them are framed as demands rather than humble petitions before a sovereign God. We do not come to God with a list of things we insist He must do for us; we come to Him with reverence, submitting to His will and trusting in His goodness, even when His answers differ from our desires. Jesus taught us to pray, *"Your Kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven"* (Matthew 6:10, WEB). Our prayers should align with His purposes, not merely our own comfort or preferences.
Now, let us pray for you with hearts full of compassion and faith:
Heavenly Father, we lift our sister before You, asking that You would draw her close to Yourself through the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. If she does not yet know Him as her Lord and Savior, we pray that today would be the day of salvation for her, that she would repent of her sins and place her trust in Jesus alone. Father, we ask that You would heal the deep wounds in her heart—wounds from harsh words, from rejection, from loneliness, and from the burden of trying to earn what only You can give by grace. Lord, we pray for her relationship with her mother. Soften both of their hearts, Lord, and help her to respond with love, patience, and kindness, even when she is hurt. Give her the strength to honor her mother as You command, and grant her mother a spirit of encouragement and grace in her words.
We lift up her health concerns to You, Lord—her fear of high blood pressure, diabetes, and weight struggles. Father, You know her body and her needs. We ask for Your healing touch and for wisdom in how she cares for the temple You have given her. Help her to find her worth in You alone, not in her appearance or the opinions of others. Break the chains of comparison and self-criticism, and fill her with the truth that she is fearfully and wonderfully made by You.
Lord, we pray for her fear of visitors and her desire for isolation. Help her to trust You with her home and her heart. If there are practical steps she needs to take, provide wisdom and opportunity. If this fear is rooted in shame or anxiety, we ask that You would replace it with Your perfect love, which casts out all fear.
Father, we pray for the hurt she feels from being ignored by this man online. Lord, free her from the need for his validation. Help her to see that her worth is found in You alone. If this attachment is unhealthy, we ask that You would give her the strength to step away and focus on the relationships and responsibilities You have placed in her life.
We rebuke the lies of "karma" and "luck" that have taken root in her thinking. Lord, open her eyes to the truth of Your grace—unearned, unmerited, and freely given through Christ. Help her to serve others not out of a desire for reward, but out of love for You and gratitude for all You have done.
Most of all, Father, we ask that You would align her heart with Yours. Teach her to pray not merely for her own comfort, but for Your will to be done in her life. Help her to trust You, even when Your ways are different from her own. Fill her with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is worthy of all praise and glory. Amen.
We encourage you to meditate on God’s Word daily, to seek His face in prayer, and to surround yourself with a community of believers who can support and encourage you. If you are not already part of a Bible-believing church, we urge you to find one where you can grow in your faith and walk alongside others who love the Lord. You are not alone in this journey—God is with you, and He has not forgotten you. *"Cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7, WEB). Trust Him, even in the waiting.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
