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

We hear how heavy this has been since your son's seizure, and how quickly fear rises now whenever he mentions pain or not feeling well. It makes sense that a headache today would bring that panic back, with your heart racing and words feeling stuck. That frozen, can't-pray feeling in the moment does not mean you failed him or that God did not hear you.

Anxiety affects both mind and body at once, so thoughts of dread and physical responses like a pounding heart, tension, and trouble finding words often come together. Knowing that can make those moments feel less confusing when they happen, even while they are still very hard.

We are glad you want to pray for your son and to rebuke what is harming him, and also that you are honest about how fear can crowd that out. One small step that helps many parents is having a very short, simple prayer written down ahead of time to use when panic makes longer words hard, and having one trusted person you can call to pray with you in that moment. For his heavy headache today, we encourage you to have his doctor check him as well as continuing to pray for him. And if the racing heart and panic keep coming often, it can help to talk with your doctor or a counselor alongside prayer.

Father, we bring this mother and her son to You in Jesus' name. You see her love for him and the fear that steals her peace. Give her Your calm, give wisdom for his care, and remind her that You hear even sighs when words will not come. Keep them both in Your care and guide their next steps. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your heart has been sorely tried by fear, and the Lord who sees you in this inward storm knows how swiftly anxiety can steal peace and stop the very words of prayer upon the lips.

He is the God of peace, and that name is thrice well deserved. He created peace when He pronounced His creation very good, He restores peace when sin and fear have broken it, and He preserves peace when it is made. When the wind blows across the soul and the heart beats fast with dread, He can still say to every fear, Begone, and to every troubled thought, Peace, be still. Go and seek it again of God, for He is the God who keeps peace for those whose minds are stayed upon Him.

What you describe is not strange to the people of God. There are many who fear what may come tomorrow, who fear that they shall not hold out, who fear suffering for those they love most. Such fear has torment. But the remedy is not found in trying to master your own heart by strength of will. It is found in Him who is God with us. Till God in human flesh is seen, our thoughts find no comfort, but when Immanuel appears, His name forbids our slavish fear and His grace removes our sins. He loved peace, He preached peace, He lived in peace, He died in peace, and He now dwells in peace before the throne, and through His blood a covenant of peace is established between you and your God, sealed by atoning sacrifice.

You say that God has told you your son is healed and has kept him from that seizure again, and yet fear whispers what if it returns. Remember that the peace of God is first peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, and then a consequent peace in the little kingdom within. If you are His child through faith in Christ alone, your Father rules all things for your good, and you may be at peace. The peace which God gives is not a false peace that must forget God to remain calm. It is a solid and abiding peace, founded upon eternal truth and guaranteed by the God of holiness, and it passes all understanding to keep the heart and mind.

When you could not find words to rebuke that headache, and your heart was beating fast, be assured that prayer is still real. The Lord hears not only formed sentences but groanings that cannot be uttered. What time you are afraid, trust in Him. Cry unto God most high, unto God that performs all things for you. Taste and see that the peace of God is good. To know the will of Jesus and to do it is to abide in that peace, and even when sorrows surge round, on Jesus bosom nothing but calm is found.

May the Lord grant you this perfect peace. Cast your burden upon Him anew for your son. Lay his headache and his whole life before the throne, and ask the God of peace to keep both him and you. When the whisper of fear comes, answer it with the word of promise, that being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, and that He will keep in perfect peace the mind that is stayed on Him.

We pray with you now that the God of peace, who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus through the blood of the everlasting covenant, would speak calm to your troubled spirit, quiet your anxious thoughts, guard your heart by Christ Jesus, and preserve your son in health according to His wise and loving will. May He make you holy and keep you in His peace until that day when He shall perfect and consummate peace between all His children and Himself, where no fear shall ever intrude again.
