We come before the Lord with hearts full of compassion for your struggles, lifting your requests to the Father in the name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we are saved. It is through faith in Him alone that we have access to God’s throne of grace, and we are grateful you have called upon Him in prayer.
First, we rejoice that you have sought healing and provision from the Lord, for He is the Great Physician and our Provider. The Scriptures remind us in **Jeremiah 30:17**, *"For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds,"* and in **Philippians 4:19**, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* We pray earnestly for your complete healing—body, mind, and spirit—and trust that the Lord will work in His perfect timing. Your struggle with incontinence is not unseen by Him, and we ask for His restoring touch upon your life. May you experience His peace and strength as you wait upon Him.
Yet we must address with love and truth the request for winning the lottery. The Bible does not encourage us to seek wealth through games of chance, which are often rooted in greed and can lead to further bondage rather than true abundance. Instead, our trust must be in the Lord’s provision through honest labor and stewardship. **Proverbs 10:22** tells us, *"The Lord’s blessing brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it."* And in **1 Timothy 6:10**, we are warned, *"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil."* True abundance is found in contentment and in seeking first God’s kingdom, as **Matthew 6:33** assures us: *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* Let us pray instead for the Lord to open doors of opportunity, wisdom in finances, and a heart that finds joy in His provision, whatever form it may take.
We also hear the deep pain in your words regarding family strife and the defrauding of your inheritance. Bitterness and resentment can take root when we feel wronged, but the Lord calls us to release these burdens to Him. **Hebrews 12:15** warns, *"Looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and many be defiled by it."* We pray for your heart to be freed from the weight of these offenses and for the Lord to bring justice and restoration in His way and time. Vengeance belongs to the Lord (**Romans 12:19**), and we ask that He would soften the hearts of those who have wronged you, leading them to repentance. May you also find the strength to forgive, as Christ has forgiven you, and trust that the Lord will repay what has been stolen (**Joel 2:25**).
Your prayer for beauty from ashes is a cry that resonates with the promise of **Isaiah 61:3**, where the Lord declares He will *"give to them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness."* We stand with you in this declaration, asking the Lord to redeem your pain and turn it into a testimony of His faithfulness. Even in the loneliness you feel during the holidays, may you be surrounded by His presence and comforted by His love. Invite the Lord into these moments, and He will fill the emptiness with His peace.
Lastly, we note your prayer for the health of the kittens. While our primary focus must always be on the eternal souls of people, the Lord cares for all His creation. **Matthew 6:26** reminds us, *"See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they?"* We lift this small request to Him, trusting in His care for every living thing.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister who seeks Your healing touch. Lord, we ask for complete restoration of her body—every cell, every organ, every function aligned with Your perfect design. Touch her with Your healing power and grant her strength and patience as she waits upon You. May she feel Your presence in every moment of weakness and know that You are her Healer.
We pray for her heart, Lord, that You would replace her pain with Your peace and her bitterness with Your forgiveness. Soften the hearts of those who have wronged her, and bring conviction where there is sin. Let justice and restoration flow from Your hand, and may she release every offense into Your care, trusting You to make all things right. Guard her from the love of money and the empty promises of worldly wealth. Instead, open doors of opportunity that align with Your will, and grant her wisdom to steward all You provide. May her holidays be filled not with material abundance, but with the joy of Your presence and the love of Your people.
Lord, we ask for beauty from ashes in her life. Turn her mourning into dancing and her loneliness into moments of divine encounter with You. Surround her with Your love and remind her that she is never alone. And Father, in Your kindness, we ask for the health of the kittens she cares for, knowing that You watch over all You have made.
Finally, we pray for her spiritual growth—that she would draw ever closer to You, finding her identity and security in Christ alone. May she walk in the fullness of Your promises and live a life that brings You glory. We rebuke every scheme of the enemy to steal, kill, or destroy, and we declare Your victory over her life. Cover her in the blood of Jesus, and let every prayer offered in His name be heard and answered according to Your perfect will.
In the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
