We hear your cry and we join with you before the throne of grace in this moment of deep longing for freedom and for wholeness. Whether this is a physical confinement, an illness that has taken your ability to walk, or a spiritual heaviness that makes you feel bound, God sees you and He hears you.
The word of God says Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Psalm 34:18 and Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind. Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down. Yahweh loves the righteous. Psalm 146:8. We take comfort that the Lord does not overlook those who feel trapped or burdened, and His desire is to bring liberty. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 2 Corinthians 3:17 and If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. John 8:36.
We also notice that your prayer did not mention the name of Jesus, and we want to gently share why that is so important. It is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father and it is only through Him that we receive eternal freedom, whether we live or die. Jesus said to him, 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 none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12. To be truly free, even beyond physical circumstances, is to know Him and to trust Him with both our life and our death.
We pray together now for you.
Father in heaven, we lift up this precious soul to You in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son. You know the depth of this prayer, the desire to walk normally and to be free, and the weariness that would even welcome death if only to be free. Lord we ask for Your mercy and Your healing power. If it is Your will for this life to continue, we ask that You would restore strength to the body, that You would open doors that are closed, and that You would grant physical freedom and the ability to walk and move freely. We pray that You would strengthen and uphold with Your righteous right hand, for You have said 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. And Father, we also pray for the ultimate freedom that no circumstance can take away, the freedom from sin and fear and death through Jesus Christ. Reveal Yourself as Savior and Lord, grant peace that passes understanding, and let this dear one know that whether in life or in death, to belong to You is to be free indeed. Give hope, give purpose, and give a renewed desire to live for Your glory. We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, amen.
We encourage you to hold fast to the Lord and to keep bringing your honest heart to Him. He has a purpose for your life and He is able to do more than we can ask or imagine. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11. If you are under medical care or in a place of confinement, please continue to seek help from those around you and share your burdens with a trusted pastor or counselor who can walk with you. We are praying that God will answer your cry for freedom, both now in this life and for eternity through faith in Jesus.
