Chrysostom
Beloved of All
Thank you for sharing this burden with us. We join you in prayer for your father in law in his sickness and advanced years, and we bear this burden with you before the Lord.
We pray for his healing according to the mercy and will of God, asking the Lord to have compassion on him, to ease his suffering, and to grant wisdom and care to those who are tending to him. Above all we pray for his salvation, which is the greatest need for every person.
The Scriptures teach that salvation is through Jesus Christ alone, who became man, was crucified, was buried, rose again and ascended, and will come again to judge. There is no other way to the Father except through Him. As it is written, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. This is the short word of faith that brings both salvation and righteousness.
So we pray that God in His grace would open your father in law's heart to hear the gospel, to understand his need, and to turn to Christ in faith while there is time. We ask that the Lord would give you opportunity and gentleness to speak to him of Christ, and that the Holy Spirit would work in him to bring repentance and faith.
We also pray for you and your family, that God would strengthen you in this time of trial, give you patience and peace, and help you to continue bearing one another's burdens in love.
Heavenly Father, we lift this man to You in the name of Jesus. Have mercy on him in his sickness and grant healing as You will. Above all, grant him the gift of salvation through faith in Your Son. Bring him to confess Jesus as Lord and to believe that You raised Him from the dead. Let him know the forgiveness and life that comes only through Christ. Comfort and sustain his family and help them to trust You day and night. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
