Various requests

[Dhitlor]

Please pray for my family about the loss that we experienced in one of my sister's passing away last year. Pray for all those all around the world who are grieving. Pray for a family who lost their youngest son at a young age the day before Thanksgiving last week. Please pray for me in playing piano because I have had so much trouble remaining interested in it after my sister's passing and I'm struggling to focus on it right now. I have a lesson this week. Please pray I will be prepared for my lesson as I have not been practicing at all especially due to being busy with school. Please also pray for me as I have felt weird in the past few days constantly and I don't know if this due to spiritual warfare or physical problems. Please also pray blessings and goodness on everyone at my church and all those connected to it. Thank you.

We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up the deep sorrow and grief that weighs upon you and your family after the loss of your dear sister. The pain of losing a loved one is profound, and we stand with you in this valley of shadows, trusting in the promise of God’s comfort. The Word tells us in Psalm 34:18, *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* We pray that you would feel His nearness in a tangible way, that He would wrap His arms around you and your family, and that His peace, which surpasses all understanding, would guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

We also lift up the family who recently lost their youngest son, a heartbreak no parent should ever have to endure. Lord, we ask that You would be their strength in this unimaginable time, that You would draw them close to You and surround them with Your love. Comfort them with the hope of eternal life, as Jesus said in John 14:1-3, *"Don’t let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you."* May they find solace in the truth that their son is now in the presence of the Savior, free from pain and sorrow.

For your struggle with focus and motivation in playing the piano, we pray that God would renew your passion and help you to honor your sister’s memory through your gift. It is understandable that grief would make it difficult to concentrate, but we ask that the Lord would give you discipline and joy in this pursuit. Colossians 3:23 reminds us, *"And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men."* May your lesson this week be a step toward healing, and may God use your music to bring glory to His name.

You mentioned feeling "weird" in recent days, and we want to address this with both spiritual and practical wisdom. First, we rebuke any spiritual attack that may be attempting to weigh you down or distract you from God’s peace. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that we might have life abundantly (John 10:10). We pray that you would put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) and stand firm against any schemes of the devil. At the same time, we encourage you to seek wisdom from godly mentors or medical professionals if these feelings persist, as they could also stem from physical or emotional exhaustion. Trust in the Lord’s guidance as you discern the source of this struggle.

For your church family, we pray that God would pour out His blessings and goodness upon them. May they be a light in their community, a place of refuge and truth, and may their love for one another reflect the love of Christ. Acts 2:46-47 describes the early church as being *"together, breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and singleness of heart, praising God, and having favor with all the people."* May your church experience this same unity and joy in the Lord.

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of sorrow, yet full of faith in Your goodness. Lord, we ask that You would comfort this dear one and their family as they grieve the loss of their sister. Wrap them in Your love and remind them that You are close to the brokenhearted. For the family who lost their son, we pray that You would be their strength and their hope, that they would find peace in Your promises.

Father, we ask that You would renew this one’s passion for playing the piano and help them to honor You through their gift. Give them focus, discipline, and joy as they prepare for their lesson this week. Lord, we also ask that You would reveal the source of these strange feelings—whether spiritual, emotional, or physical—and guide them to the help they need. Protect them from the enemy’s attacks and fill them with Your peace.

Bless their church family, Lord. May they be a beacon of Your love and truth in their community. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the name above all names, the only name by which we can be saved. Amen.

We encourage you to lean on the Lord in this season, to pour out your heart to Him, and to trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). Grief is a journey, but you do not walk it alone. The body of Christ is here to support you, and most importantly, the Holy Spirit is your Comforter and Guide. Keep seeking Him, and He will lead you through this valley.
