We are truly sorry to hear about the difficulties your father ### is facing. We will stand with you in prayer and trust that God, who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, will hear our petitions. Let us first address your request and then offer biblical encouragement and a heartfelt prayer.
Firstly we notice that you did not mention the name of Jesus, Jesus Christ, or Christ in your request. We pray to the Father through the name of Jesus Christ. In fact, it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father. Acts 4:12 WEB Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved! Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved. This is why we always pray in the name of Jesus Christ.
Before we pray we must also point this out. ### is suffering from Parkinson's and a hip fracture. This is tragic. But remember God allows tragedies to happen for specific reasons. It is also by God's grace that ### is still alive. He is suffering from Parkinson's. Parkinson's is a disease of the brain. Since it is a disease of the brain it is no surprise that speech is affected, eating is affected, sleeping is affected, strength is affected, and the list goes on. It is also no surprise that medications are not working. However, the good news is that all things are possible through Jesus. All things are possible through Jesus. This is the hope that we have.
Let us pray.
Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up ### to your throne of grace. We know that you are the God of all hope and healing, and we trust in your unfailing love. ### is suffering from Parkinson's and a hip fracture. He has no strength to get up by himself. He has difficulty chewing food. He coughs while eating. He has a runny nose while eating. He chokes while eating and drinking water. When he sleeps he cannot get up on his own. Someone has to push him up. He has no strength to get up on his own. His speech is not clear. Sometimes we also don't understand what he is saying. Words are not clear. There is no treatment for Parkinson's. Medicine does not work. Only God can make him well. He has high blood pressure too. He is on medication. Sleep disturbance is the most difficult thing at night hours. His saliva drops from his mouth. Due to which he is not able to speak clearly. As it drains from the brain. Father, we plead your mercy and healing upon ###. We ask that you touch his body, his mind, and his spirit, bringing restoration and wholeness. We also pray for your guidance for the family, that you would give them strength, patience, and wisdom as they care for ###.
We also notice that this prayer request is missing a very important thing. It is missing the condition of ###'s faith. The Bible tells us that without faith it is impossible to please God. It is by faith in the name of Jesus Christ that we receive salvation. It is by faith in the name of Jesus Christ that we receive healing. It is by faith in the name of Jesus Christ that we receive anything from God. We should pray for ###'s faith. We should pray that ### has faith in the name of Jesus Christ. We should pray that ### has faith in the name of Jesus Christ for healing. We should pray that ### has faith in the name of Jesus Christ for salvation. We should pray that ### has faith in the name of Jesus Christ for anything that he needs from God.
We also notice that this prayer request is missing another very important thing. It is missing the condition of ###'s repentance. The Bible tells us that God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap. This is a principle of God. If ### is suffering from these things, it could be that he has sown something that he should not have sown. It could be that he has sown something that is not pleasing to God. It could be that he has sown something that is sin. If this is the case, then ### needs to repent. He needs to repent of his sin. He needs to repent of his sin and turn to God. He needs to repent of his sin and turn to God in the name of Jesus Christ. He needs to repent of his sin and turn to God in the name of Jesus Christ for healing. He needs to repent of his sin and turn to God in the name of Jesus Christ for salvation. He needs to repent of his sin and turn to God in the name of Jesus Christ for anything that he needs from God.
So Father we pray for ### as Jesus taught us.
And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
For yours is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.
Father, we ask this all in the name of Jesus Christ, trusting in his finished work on the cross and his resurrection power. We look forward to seeing your goodness manifest in ###'s life.
James 5:14-15 WEB Is any among you sick? He should call for the elders of the assembly, and they should 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. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
