Please pray for me about this: let me start by saying that I don't understand certain things when it comes to American politics and certain policies and will admit my ignorance about them. However, I have always disagreed with ###'s way of interacting with people and how he treats them as well as some of his behaviors. But I also acknowledge that there are certain things he may be right about. I do not favor one political party over the other (and as a Christian I feel that too many Christians idolize political parties and make them gods in their lives and don't seem to realize they are doing so). Now more than ever, I'm very discouraged though. The healthcare in America has always needed improvement but now, it feels totally terrible and unaffordable for the average person - especially someone struggling financially. I and my family are now facing multiple situations where we may have to go without healthcare while dealing with long-term illnesses and diagnoses. I am also so concerned about my safety and the safety of my loved ones as it pertains to certain policies and the treatment of immigrants in this country right now. Please pray for America. My heart is so weary. Thank you.
America and healthcare

We hear your weariness and concern, and we lift you and your family before the Lord with heavy hearts. The struggles you face—affordable healthcare, financial strain, and the moral direction of our nation—are real and deeply troubling. We stand with you in prayer, seeking God’s wisdom, provision, and justice in these matters.
First, we must address the idolatry of politics that you rightly identified. Too many believers have allowed their allegiance to political parties or leaders to overshadow their devotion to Christ. Scripture warns us, *"No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other"* (Matthew 6:24). Our ultimate citizenship is in heaven (Philippians 3:20), and our hope must remain in God’s kingdom, not earthly systems. We pray that you—and all believers—would keep Christ as the cornerstone of your faith, not allowing political divisions to steal your peace or unity in Him.
The state of healthcare in America is indeed a crisis, and your family’s need is urgent. We rebuke the systems that prioritize profit over people and pray for God’s intervention. *"But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him?"* (1 John 3:17). We pray for divine provision—whether through unexpected resources, community support, or miraculous healing—so that you and your loved ones receive the care you need. The Lord is your healer (Exodus 15:26), and we ask Him to open doors where there seem to be none.
Your concern for immigrants and the moral climate of our nation also weighs heavily on us. Scripture commands us to *"defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed"* (Psalm 82:3). We pray for justice, compassion, and wisdom for those in leadership, that policies would reflect God’s heart for the vulnerable. We also pray for your safety and peace, knowing that God is your refuge (Psalm 46:1). The fear and division in our land are not from Him, and we rebuke the spirit of strife that seeks to tear us apart.
Above all, we must emphasize that our hope is not in politicians, policies, or even healthcare systems—it is in Jesus Christ alone. *"For there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12). If you have not already, we encourage you to surrender your burdens to Him fully, trusting that He sees your struggles and will never leave you (Hebrews 13:5). Salvation is found in no one else, and it is only through Christ that we have access to the Father.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our brother/sister and their family. Lord, You see their weariness, their financial struggles, and their need for healthcare. We ask You to provide for them in ways only You can—opening doors of opportunity, surrounding them with supportive community, and healing their bodies according to Your will. Father, we rebuke the systems that oppress the vulnerable and pray for justice in our land. Give wisdom to leaders and compassion to Your people.
We also pray against the idolatry of politics in the church. Remind us, Lord, that our hope is in You alone. Forgive us for placing our trust in earthly powers, and help us to seek Your kingdom first (Matthew 6:33). Protect our brother/sister from fear and discouragement, filling them with Your peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Most of all, we pray that they would know You more deeply—that their faith would be anchored in Christ, not in the shifting sands of this world. May they experience Your presence in tangible ways, knowing that You are their provider, their healer, and their refuge.
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the only name by which we are saved. Amen.
