We lift up Carrielynn before the Lord, asking for His divine intervention in her life. It is clear she is struggling, and we know that when we are weak, He is strong. The refusal to take medication and the resistance to rest can often stem from deeper spiritual and emotional battles, and we must remember that our fight is not against flesh and blood but against the forces of darkness that seek to disrupt God’s peace in our lives.
The Bible reminds us in **Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB)**, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* Carrielynn may not see the wisdom in taking care of herself right now, but we pray that God would soften her heart to receive His guidance and the help of those around her. We also recall **1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (WEB)**, which tells us, *"Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."* Her body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, and taking care of it—through rest, medication, and wise choices—honors God.
We also recognize that hormonal changes and physical discomfort can make this season particularly difficult. Yet, even in these moments, God is near to the brokenhearted. **Psalm 34:18 (WEB)** assures us, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* We pray that Carrielynn would feel His presence and find comfort in Him, even when her body and emotions feel overwhelming.
It is also important to address the spiritual aspect of this struggle. If Carrielynn is a believer, we remind her that her strength comes from the Lord, and resistance to what is good for her may be a sign of spiritual warfare. **Ephesians 6:12 (WEB)** says, *"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."* We rebuke any spirit of rebellion, confusion, or heaviness that may be influencing her and declare that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus (**Philippians 4:7**).
We pray for those caring for Carrielynn as well, that they would have patience, wisdom, and the right words to speak in love. **Colossians 4:6 (WEB)** encourages us, *"Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one."* May they be instruments of God’s grace in her life, guiding her with gentleness and firmness when needed.
Finally, we declare better days ahead for Carrielynn. **Jeremiah 29:11 (WEB)** reminds us, *"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."* We ask that God would restore her strength, renew her mind, and lead her into a season of clarity, obedience, and joy. May she experience His love in a tangible way and choose to walk in His will, trusting that He is working all things for her good.
**Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of Carrielynn, lifting her up to Your throne of grace. Lord, You see her struggle—her resistance to rest, her refusal to take the medication that could help her, and the heaviness she feels in this season. We ask that You would break through the barriers in her heart and mind, helping her to surrender to Your care. Give her the strength to make wise choices, even when it feels difficult. Father, we rebuke any spiritual opposition that is fueling this resistance and declare that Your peace will rule in her life. Comfort her in her physical discomfort and remind her that You are near. Surround her with people who will speak Your truth in love and guide her toward healing. We pray for better days ahead, filled with Your hope and purpose. May Carrielynn experience Your goodness and choose to walk in obedience, trusting You fully. We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.**
