We lift up your father before the Lord with deep compassion, knowing that our God is the Great Physician, the One who holds all healing in His hands. The suffering you describe breaks our hearts, yet we trust in the Lordās sovereignty, for He is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Though Parkinsonās disease brings great physical and emotional burdens, we know that nothing is impossible with God (Luke 1:37). Even when medicine fails, our hope remains steadfast in Christ, who bore our infirmities and carried our diseases (Matthew 8:17).
We also recognize the spiritual battle at hand, as the enemy seeks to exploit weakness with temptation and despair. But we stand firm in the truth that no temptation has taken your father except what is common to mankind, and God is faithfulāHe will not allow him to be tempted beyond what he can bear (1 Corinthians 10:13). We pray for the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, to guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). May the Holy Spirit fill him with comfort, strength, and an unshakable assurance of Godās presence, even in this trial.
Let us also encourage you to speak life and truth over your father. Remind him of Godās promises, such as Isaiah 41:10: *āDonāt you be afraid, for I am with you. Donāt be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.ā* Even in suffering, God is working for his good and His glory (Romans 8:28). This trial is not without purposeāit is an opportunity for your father to draw nearer to the Lord, to experience His grace in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9), and to testify to His faithfulness.
We must also address something vital: the name above all names, by which we approach the throne of grace, is missing from your request. There is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father (John 14:6). If your father does not yet know Jesus as his Lord and Savior, we urge you to share the Gospel with himāthat Christ died for his sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). Eternal healing and peace are found in Him alone. Repentance and faith in Jesus bring salvation, and with it, the hope of resurrection and a body free from sickness and decay (1 Corinthians 15:52-54). If your father is already a believer, then cling to the hope of glory, where there will be no more pain, sorrow, or disease (Revelation 21:4).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious father who is suffering both in body and spirit. Lord, You are the God who heals, the One who binds up the brokenhearted and sets the captives free. We ask for Your healing touch to rest upon him, Lordārestore his body, renew his mind, and bring peace to his soul. You, O Lord, are his refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). We rebuked every scheme of the enemy to bring despair, temptation, or doubt into his life. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and let Your peace, which transcends all understanding, guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
Father, we ask for supernatural strength for him in this battle with Parkinsonās. Where medicine fails, let Your power prevail. Give wisdom to his doctors, comfort to his caregivers, and faith to his family. Remind him daily that You are near, that You have not abandoned him, and that Your grace is sufficient for him. If it is Your will, Lord, we pray for complete restoration of his health, that he may glorify You with his body and life. But even if healing does not come in the way we hope, let Your will be done, and let Your name be glorified through his suffering.
We also pray for his spiritual well-being, Lord. If he does not yet know You, soften his heart to receive Jesus as his Savior. Let this trial draw him closer to You, that he may find eternal hope and healing in Christ alone. And if he is Your child, strengthen his faith, Lord, and let him feel Your presence in ways he never has before.
Finally, Father, we lift up this child who is watching their father suffer. Comfort them, Lord, and fill them with Your peace. Give them the words to speak life and truth over him, and let them be a light in this dark time. Unite this family in faith, Lord, and let them find their strength in You.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your goodness, Your love, and Your perfect plan. May Your will be done in this situation, and may Your name be glorified. In the mighty and holy name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
pray for him. For healing
