Lord,
We lift Nidhi Rastogi before You right now. You see the heaviness in his heart, the weariness in his mind, and the discouragement that has been pressing on him. You are the God who steps in when our strength runs out. Wrap him in Your peace, the kind that quiets fear and settles the storm inside. Fill him with courage where he feels weak and restore his inner strength where it has been drained. . Renew his determination. Let Your presence steady him and Your love carry him through this difficult moment. Give him the grace to take the next step, and then the next, knowing You are walking with him. In Jesus’ name, Amen

Heavenly Father,
We lift Surya Bala and his entire family into Your loving hands during this heavy and overwhelming season. You see the financial strain, the pressure of loans, the daily responsibilities, and the weight that has been resting on their shoulders. Open new doors of provision, increase their income, release unexpected favor, and make a way where there truly seems to be no way. Let every financial burden be met with Your supernatural supply.
We pray for his wife, who continues to suffer with pain despite clear medical tests. God, you are the One who heals what doctors cannot see. Bring comfort where there is discomfort, peace where there is fear, and strength where she feels weak. Let her feel Your healing presence from the inside out.
We lift up their children and their education. Bless their minds, guide their future, and surround them with opportunities that align with Your purpose. Provide every resource they need — wisdom, understanding, financial provision, and open doors for their growth and success.
We also pray for Surya’s brother William. Cover him with health, protection, and your steady hand. Bless his family with peace, provision, and your constant presence.

Kim, I hear your heart, and I know this situation has been painful, but I want to gently encourage you to look at it through a God-centered lens before you decide how to respond. When someone hurts us, it’s natural to want distance, yet there is a difference between setting a healthy boundary and shunning someone in a way that closes your heart. God calls us to guard our peace, but He also calls us to walk in grace, even when relationships shift. You can absolutely protect your emotional space without pretending someone doesn’t exist or withholding basic kindness. A boundary can simply mean keeping interactions brief, choosing not to pursue closeness, or giving yourself room to heal—none of which require coldness or avoidance. Asking God for strength to “not say hi” may come from hurt rather than healing, and that kind of withdrawal can quietly grow into bitterness. Instead, ask Him for wisdom, emotional steadiness, and the ability to be polite without being vulnerable, kind without being close, and Christlike without reopening wounds. You don’t have to punish anyone or pretend everything is fine; you just need to move forward in a way that honors God, protects your heart, and keeps your spirit free from resentment.
