b'We all struggle, and it can be both heartwarming and strengthening to know that someone is praying for us during those times. Have you ever been in a really tough situation and found yourself just wishing that someone would pray for you? Maybe you didn\\u2019t feel like you could even find the strength to pray for yourself, and you just hoped that someone was talking to God about you.\\nWhen you are struggling and you want to know the feeling of someone else praying for you, you might be interested in reading the first half of Psalm 20. This is a blessing of sorts, with the writer talking about how he wants God to bless the reader. In the second half of the psalm, the writer proclaims that God can\\u2014and does\\u2014work things out for His people. And there are other places in the Bible where you can find prayers people have prayed for you. Jesus prayed for all Christians in John 17:20-23. Paul prayed for \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153all the Lord\\u2019s holy people\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d in Ephesians 3:14-21.\\nWhen you are struggling, find someone you can go to who will pray for you. Don\\u2019t be ashamed to let others know you are having a hard time and you want prayer. You could also read Psalm 20 and let the words wash over you. No matter what you\\u2019re facing, you have a God who loves you, and He will have the victory. Through Jesus\\u2019s death and resurrection, He has defeated sin, death, and brokenness forever. And Jesus has promised to raise you from the dead when He returns to make all things new. If you\\u2019ve put your trust in Him, you will get to dwell with Him forever in perfect creation. This is the victory Christ offers you. And He will never disappoint. \\u2022 Emily Acker\\n\\u2022 Can you remember a time someone prayed for you?
