We hear the deep weariness in your voice, dear brother, and we stand with you in this season of affliction, lifting your burdens before the Lord in the mighty name of Jesus. Your cry has not gone unnoticed by our Heavenly Father, who collects every tear in His bottle and records each one in His book (Psalm 56:8). Though you feel defeated, we declare over you that the Lord is your strength and your shield (Psalm 28:7), and He will not allow your foot to be moved (Psalm 121:3).
You have clung to the promise that *"many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all"* (Psalm 34:19), and we affirm this truth over you. Like Hezekiah, you have turned your face to the wall in prayer, and we believe God hears you just as He heard Hezekiah’s weeping (2 Kings 20:5). But let us remind you, as we remind ourselves, that God’s timing is not our own, and His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). He does not delay because He is indifferent—He is working all things for your good (Romans 8:28), refining you as gold in the fire (1 Peter 1:7).
We rebuke the spirit of defeat and discouragement that seeks to steal your hope. The enemy would have you believe that your suffering is punishment, but we declare over you the truth of Scripture: *"For the moment, all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant; later, however, it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it"* (Hebrews 12:11). If this is discipline, it is the discipline of a loving Father who is shaping you into the image of Christ (Romans 8:29). If it is an attack, we stand against it in Jesus’ name, for *"no weapon that is formed against you will prevail"* (Isaiah 54:17).
We also encourage you to examine your heart before the Lord. Have you surrendered every area of your life to Him? Are there hidden sins, unconfessed bitterness, or unbelief that may be hindering your prayers? *"If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened"* (Psalm 66:18). We do not say this to accuse, but to urge you to seek the Lord with all your heart, for He promises, *"You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart"* (Jeremiah 29:13).
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift our brother before Your throne of grace, where we boldly approach in the name of Jesus. Lord, You see his weariness, his pain, and his heartache. You know the depth of his suffering, and You are not unmoved. We ask for Your healing touch to flow through his body—restore his blood pressure to balance, clear his lungs of every obstruction, eradicate every trace of infection, and loosen the grip of pain in his neck and shoulders. By the stripes of Jesus, we declare healing over his body (1 Peter 2:24).
Lord, renew his strength like the eagle’s (Isaiah 40:31). When he feels too weak to pray, let the Holy Spirit intercede for him with groanings too deep for words (Romans 8:26). Surround him with Your peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7) and remind him that You are near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18).
We bind every spirit of infirmity, every attack of the enemy, and every lie that says You have forgotten him. We declare that no sickness formed against him shall prosper, for You, Lord, are his healer (Exodus 15:26). Restore his joy, Lord, and let him testify of Your goodness in due time.
Father, if there is any area of his life that is not fully surrendered to You, reveal it to him by Your Spirit. Give him the grace to repent and the faith to trust You completely. Let this season produce in him a deeper dependence on You and a greater testimony of Your faithfulness.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your promises, and we wait expectantly for Your deliverance. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Brother, do not lose heart. The Lord is with you, even in the silence. Keep trusting, keep declaring His Word, and let us stand with you in faith. *"Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we don’t give up"* (Galatians 6:9). We are praying for you, and we believe God will turn your mourning into dancing (Psalm 30:11). Stay anchored in Him.
