We hear your heart and we stand with you in this battle between the promise God has given you and the fear that tries to steal your peace. We understand how one seizure in your son's life left such a deep imprint on you, and how every pain or flu or headache now triggers panic and dread that another seizure will come. We thank God with you that He has spoken to you and assured you that your son is fully healed and will not have that seizure again. That word from the Lord is true and we choose to agree with it together.
What you are describing, the racing heart, the words that will not come, the overwhelming fear, is not from God. Fear and anxiety are not your portion. For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. 2 Timothy 1:7 The enemy uses fear to try to make us forget what God has said. God’s voice brings peace and authority, even a gentle prompting to rebuke that headache in Jesus’ name, while fear brings torment and paralysis. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. 1 John 4:18
God does not condemn you for freezing in that moment. He sees your love for your son and He knows when anxiety overwhelms you, even when words fail. In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered. Romans 8:26 Even when you could not form the words, the Holy Spirit was interceding for you and your son before the Father.
We want to encourage you to take hold of the authority Jesus has given you as a mother who believes. Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you. Luke 10:19 You do not have to wait until you feel strong or peaceful to pray. When that fear rises, we can choose to speak the Word of God out loud, even in a whisper. When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you. Psalm 56:3 In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
We also want to gently remind you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and it is only in His name that we have authority to rebuke sickness and fear. You mentioned God told you your son is healed, and we rejoice in that, but we want to be sure you are calling on the name of Jesus Christ, for Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. John 14:6 and There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12 If you have not already, put your complete trust in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, believing that He died for your sins and rose again, and you will have that confident access to God. That if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9
So together we bring your son and your own heart before the Lord, and we rebuke both the headache and the spirit of fear that has been tormenting you.
Father, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ we come before You and we thank You that You love this mother and her son more than we ever could. We thank You for Your promise that he is healed and that no weapon formed against him will prosper. In Jesus’ name we rebuke this heavy headache and command it to leave his body now. We speak Your healing and Your peace over him. We also rebuke the spirit of fear and anxiety that has stolen this mother’s peace. We command panic to go in Jesus’ name and we ask You to fill her with Your power, love and self-control. Help her to cast all her worries on You, because You care for her. 1 Peter 5:7 Guard her heart and mind with Your peace which surpasses all understanding. Teach her to take every thought captive and to trust in You with all her heart and not lean on her own understanding. Proverbs 3:5 and 2 Corinthians 10:5 When fear whispers what if, help her to answer with what You have said, that You are with her and You will strengthen her. Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness. Isaiah 41:10 Let her rest in Your perfect love and let Your peace which You have given remain with her. Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. John 14:27 We declare that her son is covered by Your hand and that she will walk in freedom from anxiety, day by day learning to speak Your Word over her family with confidence. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
We encourage you, dear sister, to keep speaking God’s promises out loud even when your heart is racing. Keep a few verses written where you can see them and say them over your son, Thank You Father that my son is healed and protected, and Your peace guards my heart. Worship and thanksgiving are powerful weapons against panic. And with wisdom, continue to care for your son’s physical needs, seeking medical help when needed, while trusting that the Lord is your ultimate healer. He who has promised is faithful and He will keep you and your son in perfect peace as your mind stays on Him. Isaiah 26:3
