We understand that you're going through struggles, and we want you to know that we are here to lift you up in prayer and provide biblical guidance. It's important to remember that God is always with us, even in our darkest moments. As it says in Psalm 34:18-19, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all."
Firstly, we must address the importance of coming to God through Jesus Christ. It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father. Jesus himself said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." If you have not already, we encourage you to confess your sins, believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and invite Him into your heart. This is the first step towards finding true peace and comfort in your struggles.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today, lifting up our brother/sister who is facing struggles. Lord, we know that You are a God who sees and understands our pain. We ask that You would draw near to them, comforting them with Your presence. Father, we pray that You would give them strength and courage to face each day, trusting in Your unfailing love. Lord, we ask that You would reveal Yourself to them in a powerful way, showing them that You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). We pray that they would find hope and peace in You, knowing that You work all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28). In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen.
In times of struggle, it's essential to remember that God has a purpose for everything we go through. James 1:2-4 tells us, "Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." Although it may be difficult to see now, God is using these struggles to shape you into the person He wants you to be.
We also encourage you to seek godly counsel and fellowship. Proverbs 11:14 says, "Where there is no counsel, the people fall, but in the multitude of counselors there is safety." Surround yourself with believers who can support and encourage you in your walk with Christ.
Lastly, remember to cast all your anxieties on God, because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep seeking God's face. He is faithful, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).
