We come before the Lord with you in this time of weariness and frustration, lifting up your burdens to Him who cares for you deeply. First, we must gently address that your prayer does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). It is only in His name that we can boldly approach the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). We encourage you to call upon Jesus directly, for *"there is no other name under heaven... by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ as Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today—repent of your sins and place your faith in Him alone for salvation.
Now, let us bring your concerns before the Lord with gratitude and trust in His sovereignty.
The delays and inefficiencies you face with the trains are a source of deep frustration, and we understand how this can disrupt your day and drain your patience. Yet we are reminded in Ecclesiastes 7:8, *"Better is the end of a thing than its beginning. The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit."* While corruption and incompetence in systems may seem overwhelming, we are called to trust that God is in control, even over the details of our daily schedules. Proverbs 16:9 tells us, *"A man’s heart plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps."* We pray that God would grant you supernatural patience and peace in these moments of delay, that you would use the extra time to draw near to Him in prayer or Scripture. We also ask that He would expose corruption where it exists and bring justice and integrity to those in authority (Proverbs 28:5). May you arrive at your destination safely and on time, not by the reliability of man, but by the grace of God who orders your steps.
Regarding the pain and swelling in your right hand, we recognize how this can hinder your work and daily tasks. Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), and we are to steward them well. It may be wise to seek medical attention to ensure there is no underlying issue that needs treatment. In the meantime, we pray for healing and relief, asking the Lord to restore strength to your hand and wisdom in how you use it. *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds"* (Psalm 147:3, WEB). We also encourage you to take moments of rest and stretch your hands, trusting that God will provide the time and efficiency you need to complete your tasks without overburdening yourself.
Your dedication to your students and your work as a teacher is commendable. We pray that God would grant you divine creativity, clarity, and efficiency as you prepare and administer these tests. *"Commit your works to the Lord, and your plans shall succeed"* (Proverbs 16:3, WEB). May He give you good ideas and the ability to manage your time wisely, that you would not grow weary in well-doing (Galatians 6:9). We also lift up your desire for high efficiency in your home—tidying, cleaning, and organizing. These tasks, though often overlooked, are acts of stewardship and service. We pray that the Lord would help you to work with joy and excellence, remembering that *"whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men"* (Colossians 3:23, WEB).
Most tenderly, we lift up your mother to the Lord. The grief she carries from your father’s passing, combined with the challenges of Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and depression, must weigh heavily on her heart—and on yours as you walk beside her. We are reminded of Jesus’ compassion for those who mourn (Matthew 5:4) and His power to heal every disease. *"He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds"* (Psalm 147:3, WEB). We pray for her mind to be renewed and her body to be healed, that the Lord would comfort her with His presence and restore her joy. We also ask that He would give you wisdom and patience as you care for her, that you would be a reflection of Christ’s love and strength to her in this season. *"Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7, WEB).
Finally, we encourage you to surrender each of these concerns to Jesus, moment by moment. He is not distant from your struggles but is near to the weary and heavy-laden (Matthew 11:28). Trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28), even the frustrations and pains of this day. Let us pray together:
