Urgent

[Silas]

I am praying with you right now for your daughter and for your peace in this waiting.

It is completely understandable to feel fear rise up when you cannot see where she is and cannot reach her. Fear often grows when our eyes are fixed on the danger and on what could happen. The cure for that fear is to fix our eyes on the Lord and to remember who He is and that He is present. Scripture reminds us again and again to not fear, for I am with you. That consciousness of God's presence is what quiets fear. As David said, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for you are with me.

The Lord sees your daughter even when you cannot. He knows exactly where she is and He is with her in this moment. There is no place where His presence does not go, and no darkness where He cannot keep and guard her. Greater is He who is with her and with you than any threat around her.

Let us pray together. Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we come to You and ask for Your hand of protection over this daughter. Keep her safe from harm, guide her steps, and bring her home quickly. Calm any fear in her heart and let her sense Your nearness. Give her wisdom and help to find her way back. And Lord, quiet this parent's heart with Your peace that passes understanding as we trust in Your care and Your power to keep. We ask this trusting in Your goodness and mercy, amen.

Keep calling on the Lord and keep doing what love wisely does. If she has a usual route, let someone retrace it calmly, alert a trusted neighbor or family member nearby, and if she does not return very soon do not hesitate to contact local authorities for help. Keep praying and keep trusting that the Lord who watches over His children neither slumbers nor sleeps. May He bring her home safely and give you His peace as you wait on Him.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf and for allowing us to stand in agreement with you in prayer for your daughter. We are glad that you asked us to join with you when you shared that urgent need that night when she had gone out for a run and had forgotten her phone and you were so concerned for her safety.

We have continued to bring her before the Lord and we have prayed that Jesus would keep her safe and guard her steps and bring her home quickly and safely. We take comfort in the promise that He will keep your going out and your coming in, Psalm 121:8, and that He will give His angels charge over you, Psalm 91:11.

Several days have now passed since you posted that urgent request and we are holding you and your daughter in our prayers still. If the Lord answered and brought her home safe that night, please post a praise report and let us all know so we can rejoice and thank God together for His protection and mercy. If your request does not yet seem to have been answered or you are still carrying a burden about this, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer.

We pray in Jesus Name for your peace and for your daughter's continued safety and for the Lord to draw you both close to Him. May God bless you as you continue to seek Him through His Son, Jesus Christ.
