A Short Prayer For The People Who Lifted You Up When You Were Quietly Falling Apart

God places certain people in our lives for reasons, seasons, and lifetimes. Here is a prayer to show gratitude and ask God to bless the lives of people we love, who have strengthened us in our times of need and beyond.

Dear God, I want to thank you for all the people you’ve placed in my life who have encouraged me and built me up, especially in times when I really needed it. Their words and actions have been strengthening me for the journey ahead.

Sometimes I fail to offer that same love and encouragement to others, so today I ask for your help to be more intentional in encouraging others and building them up, just as your Word instructs us. Allow me to find simple yet meaningful ways today to support, help, or comfort someone that I love, whether through my actions or my words.

Help me to see encouragement not just as a nice gesture but as a spiritual responsibility that contributes to others’ well-being and growth. Thank you for using me as a vessel to foster spiritual growth, not just for myself, but for the community around me. May we continue to encourage one another and build each other up, just as we are already doing.

Amen.
