Six short prayers for someone you love who is struggling — for comfort, for endurance, and for the days they cannot carry it alone.

When someone you love is in a hard season, the hardest part is how little you can do. You cannot fix it, and they would not want you to pretend otherwise.
What you can do is pray, and say so. These six are short enough to send in a message and honest enough to mean it. Read one over them, or keep one on your home screen with Bible Widgets while their season lasts.

“When life feels heavy, remember God is carrying you through.”

“God, touch those who are hurting with your healing hand, restoring body, mind, and spirit.”

“Dear God, some days feel heavy. Please carry what I can't and remind me I don't walk alone.”

“Father, ease my burden, and let me feel the comforting weight of Your gentle presence.”

“God is with me in this hardship, and He is helping me rise above it.”

“Lord, give me endurance when the road feels long. Help me to persevere with faith and not grow weary. Amen.”
