For the Ones Barely Hanging On

Lord Jesus,

You say the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective (James 5:16), so I’m coming to You with everything I’ve got — even if all I have right now is breath in my lungs and tears in my eyes.

I lift up the ones who are barely hanging on. The ones flat on their back in the heat of it all — physical heat, emotional heat, spiritual heat. You see them. You love them. And You’re still the God who breathes life into dry bones (Ezekiel 37). You’re the One who revives, restores, and rescues when we’ve got nothing left to give.

You said if we have faith the size of a mustard seed, we could move mountains (Matthew 17:20). So here’s my mustard seed, Lord. Here's my little flicker of hope, shaking hands and all. Multiply it. Meet me in it. You don’t need a flood — sometimes You work through a drip. And if that’s all I’ve got, then I trust You to make it enough.

Your Word says You are “close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18). So be close now. Speak peace into the places where fear has taken root. Turn our mourning into dancing. And give us eyes to see that You're still moving — even when all we can do is whisper Your name.

Thank You for showing up in the waiting. Thank You for not giving up on the ones who feel forgotten — even the four-legged ones we love so much. You are faithful. And I trust You with it all.

In Jesus’ mighty name,
Amen.
