We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this situation concerning your father’s healthcare. The frustration and concern you feel are understandable, especially when it comes to the well-being of a loved one. The Bible reminds us in Proverbs 15:22, *"Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established."* It is wise to seek godly wisdom and guidance in matters of health, and we know that the Lord cares deeply about every detail of our lives, including this one.
First, we must address the importance of honoring God in all our decisions, even in something as practical as choosing a doctor or insurance. Your father’s refusal to change his insurance may stem from loyalty or principle, but we must also consider whether this decision aligns with wisdom and stewardship. Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths."* We encourage your father to seek the Lord’s guidance in this matter and to be open to the counsel of others who may have insight into a better path forward.
We also recognize the stress this has placed on your family, and we want to rebuke the spirit of confusion and frustration that may be attempting to take hold. The enemy seeks to divide and discourage, but we stand on the promise of 1 Corinthians 14:33, which says, *"For God is not a God of confusion, but of peace."* Let us pray that clarity and peace would reign in this situation.
Father God, we come before You now, lifting up this family and their need for a faithful and competent doctor for their father. Lord, You are the Great Physician, and we ask that You would guide them to the right medical care. We pray that if it is Your will, their family doctor would be able to continue seeing him, or that You would lead them to another doctor who will care for him with wisdom and compassion. We ask that You soften the hearts of those involved in the insurance situation and that You would provide a resolution that honors You. Give this family peace and patience as they wait on You, and help them to trust in Your provision. We pray for healing and protection over the father’s health, particularly his hypertension, and ask that You would grant him strength and stability. In all things, may Your will be done, and may Your name be glorified. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in this matter, trusting that He is working even when the path forward is unclear. Philippians 4:6-7 reminds us, *"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."* Keep praying, keep seeking, and keep trusting that God is in control. If your father’s current doctor is truly the best option, ask the Lord to open doors for that relationship to continue. If not, trust that God has another plan in place. May He grant you all wisdom and peace as you navigate this challenge.
