- 0:18Speaker 1: about a temporary situation. God has you comfort, He has
- 0:25Speaker 1: your family coverfored He has whatever that situation is comfort. Father, God,
- 0:30Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus Christ, we come before you
- 0:33Speaker 1: today with heavy hearts, God, crying out for those who
- 0:36Speaker 1: are battling silent wars in their minds, those who are
- 0:39Speaker 1: weary in their souls, and those who feel like life
- 0:42Speaker 1: has lost its meaning. Lord, you see the pain that
- 0:45Speaker 1: hides behind the smiles. You hear the cries that no
- 0:48Speaker 1: one else hears. You know the weight that feels too
- 0:52Speaker 1: heavy to carry. Father, you said in your word that
- 0:55Speaker 1: you are near to the broken heart, and that you
- 0:58Speaker 1: save those crushed and spirit So right now, Lord, we
- 1:02Speaker 1: ask you to draw near, wrap your arms around those
- 1:05Speaker 1: who are hurting so deeply that they can barely find
- 1:08Speaker 1: the words to pray. Whisper to their hearts that they
- 1:12Speaker 1: matter God, their lives matter, that their story isn't over,
- 1:16Speaker 1: that there still is purpose in their pain. Lord, silenced
- 1:20Speaker 1: the lives of the enemy that says that they're not enough,
- 1:23Speaker 1: that they're a burden to their family or to their friends,
- 1:27Speaker 1: that they would be better if they weren't here. God,
- 1:29Speaker 1: replace those lives with your truths that they are fearfully
- 1:33Speaker 1: and wonderfully made, that they are chosen, that they are loved,
- 1:36Speaker 1: and that they are seen by You. God. Remind them
- 1:40Speaker 1: that the world is better because they are in it. Father,
- 1:44Speaker 1: we pray for healing of minds tormented by anxiety and
- 1:48Speaker 1: depression and hopelessness. God, let your light break through the
- 1:52Speaker 1: darkness that surrounds them. God, flood their hearts with peace
- 1:56Speaker 1: where chaos has live. God, give them strength to reach
- 1:59Speaker 1: out for help, courage to hold on just one more day,
- 2:03Speaker 1: and God's faith to believe that you can still turn
- 2:08Speaker 1: it around. Lord, right now, in the name of Jesus Christ,
- 2:11Speaker 1: we also lift up families. Families who are grieving the
- 2:14Speaker 1: loss of a loved one to suicide. Comfort then, Father,
- 2:18Speaker 1: in ways that words simply cannot heal their ape. God
- 2:22Speaker 1: in their hearts and remind them that you are a
- 2:25Speaker 1: God of mercy and compassion. Surround them with love and support. God,
- 2:30Speaker 1: use us your people to be your hands and feet.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Help us to notice those who are hurting, to speak
- 2:37Speaker 1: words of hope, to offer kindness, to be light in
- 2:40Speaker 1: the darkness. God, make us sensitive to the quiet pain
- 2:44Speaker 1: of others, and bold enough God to remind them that
- 2:47Speaker 1: there is help, that there is hope, and there is healing.
