Heavenly Father,

when the storms of life come our way, we know that we can depend on You to bring us through. You said, blessed is the one who perseveres under trial, and having stood the test, they will receive the crown of life that You've promised to those who love You, and we look forward to that with anticipation. Again today, I want to pray for the people who are going through an exhausting, life-altering situation and are ready to give up. You said You would not let us be tested beyond what we could bear, and when we were, You would provide a way out so we could endure. I'm asking that You would give those who are struggling and are in the midst of a situation like this the strength to make it through. Place hope in their heart today, lift them up above the shadows, and plant their feet on higher ground, as the Holy Spirit leads their way. In Jesus' name we do pray, Amen.
