Lord, take SIL’s hands. Help her to rise, then to stand, and then to walk.

But taking her by the hand, he called, saying, “Child, arise.” Luke 8:54

My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me. Psalm 63:8

Even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. Psalm 139:10

I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living. Psalm 116:9

Jesus, just like how You took that little girl’s hand, take SIL’s hand. In some ways she is as “dead” as the girl and needs You to speak life into her. Tell SIL to arise and call her soul to cling to You as Your right hand upholds her. Continue to hold her wherever You lead her. I pray that, with Your help, she will set her mind and heart in walking before You in the land of the living – alert, passionate, and obedient to Your Word. I pray that she chooses daily to follow Your ways as You guide her to the place You want her.

In Your Upholding Name,

Amen
