We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up your precious niece to our Heavenly Father. It is clear that this sudden change in her behavior has brought deep concern and sorrow to your family, and we join with you in seeking the Lord’s healing, comfort, and restoration for her.
First, we want to acknowledge that such a drastic shift in a child’s demeanor is not to be taken lightly. The Bible tells us in 1 Peter 5:7, *"Casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you."* We know that the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but Jesus came that she may have life—and have it abundantly. We rebuke any spirit of heaviness, oppression, or fear that may be attempting to grip her young heart. The Word declares in Isaiah 61:3 that God gives *"the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness,"* and we claim this promise over her life.
We also consider the possibility of spiritual attack, as you mentioned the concern of an "evil eye." Scripture warns us in Ephesians 6:12, *"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 take authority in the name of Jesus over any demonic influence seeking to harm her and command it to flee. The Lord is her shield and strong tower (Psalm 18:2), and no weapon formed against her shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
Her physical symptoms—such as the allergy and loss of appetite—also concern us, for our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). We pray for complete healing in her body, mind, and spirit. James 5:14-15 instructs, *"Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up."* We stand on this promise, believing that God will restore her health and vitality.
We must also gently consider whether there has been any recent trauma, fear, or unspoken hurt in her life. Children are deeply sensitive to their surroundings, and even things that may seem small to adults can weigh heavily on their hearts. Proverbs 14:13 reminds us, *"Even in laughter the heart may be sorrowful, and mirth may end in heaviness."* We pray that the Lord would reveal the root of this distress so that it may be addressed with wisdom, love, and godly counsel.
Above all, we pray for the peace of Christ to guard her heart and mind (Philippians 4:7). May she be surrounded by the love of family, the comfort of the Holy Spirit, and the joy that comes from knowing she is deeply cherished by her Heavenly Father. We declare that the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23)—will be evident in her life once more.
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious child to You. Lord, You know the depths of her heart even when we do not. We ask that You would surround her with Your healing presence and break any chains of sorrow, fear, or oppression that may be affecting her. We rebuke every spirit of heaviness and command it to leave her now in Jesus’ name. Fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and restore the joy of her salvation.
Father, we pray for physical healing as well. Touch her body and remove any sickness or discomfort. Strengthen her appetite, calm her spirit, and let her laughter return as a sweet sound in her home. Give her parents and family wisdom to discern what may be troubling her and the grace to respond with patience and love.
Lord, we also ask that You protect her from any spiritual attacks. Let Your angels encamp around her, shielding her from harm. May she grow in the knowledge of Your love and find her security in You alone.
We thank You, Father, that You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We trust in Your goodness and declare that this season of weeping will not last. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue covering her in prayer, speaking life and truth over her, and seeking godly counsel if her condition does not improve. The Lord is faithful, and He will not abandon her. Keep trusting in Him, for He is working even when we cannot see it.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
