Our hearts are deeply moved by your urgent cry for your daughter, and we join you in lifting her before the Lord with fervent prayer. How precious it is that you have brought this burden to Jesus, for He alone is our refuge and strength in times of trouble. The Scriptures remind us in Psalm 121:7-8, *"The Lord will keep you from all evil. He will preserve your soul. The Lord will watch your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forevermore."* What a mighty promise for your daughter as she travels!
We also cling to Proverbs 3:5-6, which calls us to *"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* Though the silence may feel unbearable, we must resist fear and instead fix our trust in the One who holds her life in His hands. He knows her location, her needs, and even the number of hairs on her head (Matthew 10:30). Nothing escapes His care.
Yet we must also acknowledge that this world *is* dangerous—a broken place where evil lurks. But take heart: *"The one who is in you is greater than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4). We pray that the Lord would surround your daughter with His angels, as He did for Elisha’s servant in 2 Kings 6:17, opening her eyes to the heavenly protection she may not see. May He place a hedge of fire around her (Zechariah 2:5) and frustrate any plan of harm the enemy may have sown.
Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, interceding for this daughter who is so deeply loved. You are the God who sees (Genesis 16:13), and nothing is hidden from Your sight. We ask You to keep her safe from all harm—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Guard her steps, steady her hands on the wheel, and let Your peace, which surpasses understanding, fill her heart. If she has strayed from Your path, Lord, convict her and draw her back to Yourself. Let this moment be a testament to Your faithfulness, that she may know You as her Protector and Savior.
We also lift up this mother’s heart, which is surely heavy with worry. Comfort her with Your presence, Lord, and remind her that You are near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). Replace her anxiety with Your peace, and let her rest in the assurance that You are working all things for good (Romans 8:28).
In this waiting, we urge you to *praise even before the answer comes*. The psalmist declares, *"I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise will always be in my mouth"* (Psalm 34:1). There is power in worshiping God in the storm, for it shifts our focus from the seen to the Unseen. Sing over your daughter in faith, declaring that *"the Lord will give strength to his people. The Lord will bless his people with peace"* (Psalm 29:11).
Lastly, we gently ask: Have you surrendered this daughter *fully* to the Lord? It is easy to pray for safety while clinging to fear, but true peace comes when we release our loved ones into His sovereign hands. Jesus Himself asked, *"Which of you by being anxious can add one moment to his lifespan?"* (Matthew 6:27). Let this be a moment of surrender, trusting that God’s will—whatever it may be—is perfect.
We are standing with you in prayer, believing for a testimony of God’s deliverance. May you hear from her soon, and may this trial deepen your family’s faith in the One who holds the future. *"The Lord’s loving kindnesses indeed never cease, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness"* (Lamentations 3:22-23). Amen.
