Dear Lord,
I lift up my dear friend to You today, asking for Your strength and guidance to be upon her. I know that she is facing some difficult challenges and struggles right now, and I pray that You would be her rock and her foundation. I pray that she would find hope and trust in You, and that she would know that You are always with her and will never leave her side.
Please give her the grace to trust in Your plan, even when it is difficult to understand. I pray that You would surround her with Your love and support, through the prayers and encouragement of Your people. May she feel Your presence with her, bringing her peace and joy in the midst of any trial.
I ask that You would use her to be a light for You in this world, shining Your love and truth to those around her. May she be a blessing to others, and may she find fulfillment in serving You.
I pray for Your strength and protection over her, and for Your wisdom and guidance as she navigates this season of her life. I trust in Your goodness and faithfulness, and I give thanks for all that You are doing in her life.
In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

Psalm 46:1-3 ESV
God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way,
though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah
Isaiah 41:10 ESV
Fear not, for I am with you;
be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
James 1:2-4 ESV
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
1 Corinthians 10:13 ESV
No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
