Prayer For The Struggling
I cry out to you, to the God who knows all things, the God who loves and cares for his people. I cry out to you on behalf of my friend. I ask that you comfort him with the truths of the gospel, of who Christ is and what he has done. I pray he will know who he is in Christ. I pray he would know of your great love for him that started before time began when you set your love on him. I pray he would be comforted by Christ’s sufferings on his behalf and know that through those sufferings, he is united to Christ. I pray that this season of suffering would not weaken his faith but strengthen it. I pray he will come to know you in a deeper, more intimate way. I pray he would rely and depend on you, rest in you, and be strengthened by his union with you.
Please meet him in this suffering with all that he needs. I pray especially for healing, comfort, and guidance. Carry and sustain him.
Help me to be the friend he needs. Help me not to say things that would add more sorrow. Help me to listen and serve. Help me to speak gospel truth. Help me to encourage and walk alongside him in this journey.
We are bound together through the blood of your Son, Christ Jesus. I pray in and through his name, Amen.
