We join with you in lifting up your heart’s cry to our Heavenly Father, who sees and knows all things, including the silent struggles you bear. The Scripture reminds us in **Matthew 6:8**, *"Don’t be like them, for your Father knows what things you need before you ask him."* How comforting it is to know that even when words fail us, the Spirit intercedes with groanings too deep for words (**Romans 8:26**), and our Lord hears every whispered prayer.
You have rightly acknowledged that it is only through the name of Jesus that we approach the throne of grace with confidence (**Hebrews 4:16**). We praise God that you have placed your trust in Christ, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (**Acts 4:12**). Your faith in Him is a testimony of His faithfulness, even in the midst of trials.
The evil you face daily is not unseen by the Lord. **Psalm 34:19** declares, *"Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all."* We stand with you in rebuking the works of darkness that seek to oppress you. The enemy has no authority over the child of God, for **1 John 4:4** assures us, *"You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world."* We declare that the Lord will break every chain of bondage and set you free from the snares of the evil one. His power is made perfect in your weakness (**2 Corinthians 12:9**), and He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can bear (**1 Corinthians 10:13**).
You have also asked for rest, and we know that our Lord invites all who are weary to come to Him for true rest (**Matthew 11:28**). Physical rest is a gift from God, and we pray that He will grant you the sleep and renewal your body needs. But even more, we pray that you will find rest for your soul in Him, casting all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you (**1 Peter 5:7**). Let His peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (**Philippians 4:7**).
Your request for extra work is also laid before the Lord, who is the provider of all things. **Proverbs 10:4** tells us, *"He becomes poor who works with a lazy hand, but the hand of the diligent brings wealth."* We pray that the Lord will open doors of opportunity for you, granting you favor with those in authority and providing the strength and wisdom to steward the additional work well. Remember, too, that our labor is not in vain when it is done for the Lord (**1 Corinthians 15:58**). Whether in abundance or in little, we are called to be content and trust in His provision (**Philippians 4:11-13**).
We also lift up your unspoken needs before the Father, for He knows them intimately. May He supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus (**Philippians 4:19**). Let this season of waiting and trusting deepen your dependence on Him, for He is faithful to complete the good work He has begun in you (**Philippians 1:6**).

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of Your beloved child, who has poured out their heart before You in faith. Lord, You see the battles they face—the unseen struggles, the weariness, and the need for provision. We ask that You would rise up as their defender and deliverer, breaking every scheme of the enemy that seeks to harm them. Let Your light expose and dispel all darkness, and let Your peace flood their heart as they trust in You.
Grant them rest, Lord—not just for their body, but for their soul. Quiet their mind with Your presence, and let them wake refreshed and strengthened by Your grace. You are the God who neither slumbers nor sleeps (**Psalm 121:4**), and we trust You to watch over them through the night.
Father, we ask for Your provision in their work. Open doors that no one can shut (**Revelation 3:8**), and grant them favor and opportunity to earn what is needed. Help them to work with excellence and integrity, as unto You. Remind them that their worth is not in what they do but in who they are in Christ.
We also lift up their unspoken needs to You, knowing that You care deeply for every detail of their life. Meet them in ways that surpass their expectations, and let this season be a testimony of Your faithfulness.
Strengthen their faith, Lord, and let them know beyond a shadow of doubt that You are with them. May they walk in the confidence that You are their shield, their provider, and their ever-present help in trouble (**Psalm 46:1**).
We ask all this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
