Don't give up cling unto God and he will come through for you. Read the psalms like psalm 91, 23, and a few others which are good for us to be uplifted even in our worse situations on life. I know it worked for me many times and still does. I've been through so much in life but it has been only my love and faith in and reading the psalms and using them as prayers when I felt my prayers were not being heard, that helped me and pull me though, Praise His Holy Name!
Lord help this person get closer to you in times of troubles and in their lows in life for you are our only resource and protector we can cling to. Give them your peace and the strength to pull them trough whatever they are going through. Become real in their life and fill them with your joy and calm even in the darkness times in life. I pray in our merciful and loving name of Jesus Christ, amen.
