The below is an example of a prayer for those going through the stress of a major life crisis whose mental energy may be drained to the point where they are unable to pray for themselves.
Dear Heavenly Father, I praise you for the wonderful privilege of entering into your presence to be led by you as we intercede for…. (name). I invite the Holy Spirit to lead us and also reveal to us how to target the prayer for ………(name). I pray for ………. (name) as he/she is under tremendous pressure and stress. I ask for you to infuse grace into his/her heart to sustain him/her as he/she goes through this situation. Father, we praise you that you love…….(name) more than anyone of us therefore we lift him/her up to you in our prayers today.
Heavenly Father, Psalm 34:19 says, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all”. We claim this promise for our brother/sister………(name) that you will deliver him/her out of this affliction that he /she is facing. I pray that you will build a hedge around him/her. I pray for him/her that you will send people to help him/her as he/she deals with the issue at hand. I pray for favour with men as he/she has favour with you. I pray for your wisdom to rest upon on him/her so that he/she will deal wisely with the issues that he/she faces, because you promised us wisdom based on James 1:5 that “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”
I stand on your promise on Isaiah 54:17 “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgement You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord”. Therefore, I believe that you will shield him/her from all the accusations and weapons thrown at him/her by the people, and the evil one’s schemes will not come into fruition or prosper. ……. (pray in tongues and listen to the Holy Spirit)
God is a just, righteous, merciful, gracious and holy God. He is always looking for someone to stand in the gap and to intercede in order for Him to act in a situation. When believers rise up to intercede and stand in the gap for the individual, church, company, family members, city and the nations, and join hands with God, we will see changes take place. God moves when we pray and intercede.

神在我们祷告时动工
下面的例子，是关于为那些正在经历重大生活危机和压力的人的祷告，这些人的精神能量可能枯竭到无法为自己祷告了。
亲爱的天父，我赞美祢赐给我奇妙的特权来到祢面前，由祢带领，我们为…………(名字)代祷。我邀请圣灵带领我们，并启示我们如何为……….祷告，我为……….祷告(名字)因为他/她承受着巨大的压力。我请求祢将恩典注入他/她的心中，在他/她经历这一切时给予他/她支持。天父，我们赞美祢，因为祢爱……. (名字)胜过我们中的任何一位，因此，在今天的祷告中，我们要把他/她高举在祢面前。
天上的父，诗篇34:19说:“义人多有苦难，但耶和华救他脱离这一切。”我们为我们的兄弟/姐妹……… (名字)祈求这个应许祢会把他/她从他/她所面临的苦难中解救出来。我祈祷祢将在他/她周围筑起一道篱笆。我为他/她祷告，当他/她处理手头的问题时，祢会差派人来帮助他/她。我祈求人们给他/她恩惠正如他/她在祢面前蒙恩。我祈求祢的智慧临到他/她，因为祢照雅各书1:5所应许给我们智慧，“你们中间若有缺少智慧的，应当求那厚赐与众人，且不斥责人的神，主就必赐给他。”这样他/她就会明智地处理他/她面临的问题。
天父，我遵照祢在以赛亚书54:17所应许的:凡为攻击你造成的器械，必不利用；凡在审判时兴起用舌攻击你的，你必定他为有罪。这是耶和华仆人的产业，是他们从我所得的义。”这是耶和华说的。所以我信祢必护庇他/她，使他/她不受人所告他/她的各样罪名和兵器的害，免得那恶者的计谋得逞或亨通。……（用方言祷告，听从圣灵）…….
神是公正、公义、有怜悯、有恩典、圣洁的神。祂总是在寻找一个人站在破口中代祷，好让祂来做工。当信徒站起来代祷，为个人、教会、公司、家庭成员、城市和国家站在破口与神携手时，我们将会看到形势的变化。神在我们祷告和代祷时动工。
