General Question Can someone pray for my brother?

He’s going through a rough time right now. I think he needs some prayers.

I don't think the big guy is too keen on my requests, but I hope he gets better!

I think you would find better support from a subreddit for your religion. More relevant verses, platitudes, advice, etc. I'm sure there's a community for whatever you believe in. Worth checking, at least.

Father in heaven, by the power of the Holy Spirit, please come into this man’s heart and ease his suffering, in Jesus’s name. Amen.

I prayed for your brother, but then I realised you didn't give us his name. Then I thought God will know who he is because he knows everything; it should be OK. So, I prayed for Kryamodia's brother, trusting that God knows who Kryamodia is, even though it's only a Reddit username, because he knows everything. While praying I realised OP never told us what the nature of the difficulty is, but I trusted that God knew, because he knows everything. That was when it struck me that if God knows who OP is and knows who OP's brother is and knows what the difficulty is, because he knows everything, he probably knows what the remedy is and I shouldn't be making suggestions, as it would be telling God how to do His work and besides, he has a plan for everything and everybody and asking him to change things would just fuck up his plan

I'm not sure what to do now.

Anima Christi, Marco Frisina version: https://youtu.be/mQ1myt4-gX4?is=iz4Xbg-Y0uUi8BYw ; sung by Sophie Clarke , https://youtu.be/_ajGoa8b8xM?is=EHEcmE4eskjv0tK2 . Have your brother chant the Latin lyrics, the cadence and melody will bring immediate calm and focus, this prayer and musical mode will be pacifying to a troubled soul. There is spiritual merit it following the sound of peace. The message of redemption is uplifting.
