Biblical Prayer Focus:
Psalm 34:17-19 When the righteous cry for help, the LORD hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all.

Thank God that He doesn't stay far away from the brokenhearted but rather He draws near and He saves those crushed in spirit. Ask on behalf of those you know who are crushed in spirit, feeling overwhelmed by their troubles. Ask the Lord for strength to be righteous even through the afflictions and that He would deliver them at just the right time.
