It can sometimes be hard to know how best to help friends, family or fellow church members who are struggling through pain and suffering. But one guaranteed way to love them well is to commit to pray for them regularly. Whether someone you know is dealing with grief, illness, emotional distress, mental-health issues or difficult circumstances, this guide will help you to pray for them with compassion and purpose.
Each of the 21 prayer themes in this book takes a passage of Scripture and suggests five things to pray for your struggling friend—relevant for whatever their troubles may be. You can use this book in any number of ways: work through it as part of your daily quiet time or pick it up whenever you want to pray for your friend.

Endorsements
Courtney Reissig
Caring for a suffering friend can paralyze us. We don’t want to be like Job’s friends and we don’t want to come off as uncaring. We might not always know what to say, but we can pray. And in this short book, Helen Thorne provides practical, biblical, and honest prayers for us to use as we pray for and minister to our suffering friends.
Pauline Kennedy
Helen Thorne’s heartfelt prayers are considered and sensitive. Already, I have known their powerful effectiveness as I have prayed through them, for those I know who are suffering from grief, anxiety and depression. My only negative is that this little book wasn’t written sooner. May it be used not only to touch lives but to bring healing and wholeness.”
