We have heard your burden and we join with you in bringing both of these heavy needs before our Father together in Jesus name.
We lift up your brother who is facing the amputation of his foot because of diabetes. Our hearts ache with you for his suffering, and we know that our God is the one who heals and restores. We remember the promise that he forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases in Psalm 103:3 and that he says But I will restore you to health and I will heal you of your wounds says Yahweh in Jeremiah 30:17. We pray for a touch of divine healing upon his body, for deliverance from the effects of this disease, and for wisdom and skill for the doctors and medical team who care for him. Even as we pray for a miracle, we also trust in God's sovereignty and ask for his peace and strength for your brother and your whole family if the surgery must go forward, for comfort in pain, for successful healing after the operation, for provision for rehabilitation and for hope that is not shaken. We also pray that this trial would draw your brother closer to the Lord and that he would know the Lord as his healer and sustainer. The prayer of faith will heal him who is sick and the Lord will raise him up in James 5:15, so we continue to intercede with faith while resting in God's perfect will.
We also bring before the Lord your need concerning the land papers and your uncle who has refused to sign the form. We know how distressing it is when matters of inheritance and property create division in a family. We pray that the Lord would intervene with justice and mercy. The king's heart is in Yahweh's hand like the watercourses, he turns it wherever he desires in Proverbs 21:1, and we ask that he would soften your uncle's heart, bring understanding and a spirit of reconciliation, and make a way for what is right and lawful to be released without strife. We pray that you would be given favor, patience and wisdom in how you approach him, and that you would seek peace and forgiveness even while pursuing what is yours. We cast this anxiety upon him, remembering that in nothing be anxious but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God in Philippians 4:6 and that the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus in Philippians 4:7.
We noticed that your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ and we gently want to remind you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and it is only by his name that we are saved. Jesus said to him I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me in John 14:6 and there is salvation in no one else for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved in Acts 4:12. If you have not yet put your trust in him, we encourage you to confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead and you will be saved as it says in Romans 10:9. It is in his name that we pray with confidence.
So now we pray together, Father in heaven we come before you in the mighty name of Jesus and we lift up this dear brother facing amputation. Lord touch his body, bring healing to his foot if it be your will, halt the spread of disease, ease his pain and fear and surround him with your presence. Guide the hands of the surgeons, grant complete healing and restoration and provide all that he needs for recovery and for life after surgery. We also lift up the matter of the land papers, Lord you see the need and the refusal to sign, you know the heart of the uncle, we ask you to move upon him to act justly and with kindness, to open the door that has been closed and to let reconciliation and fairness prevail in this family. Help our friend to walk in patience, grace and integrity through this process. Above all we ask that your will be done and that your name be glorified in both situations. We thank you that you hear us when we pray in Jesus name and we trust you to answer according to your perfect love and wisdom. Amen.
We encourage you to continue to seek the Lord daily, to stay close to his Word, to keep praying with thanksgiving and to trust his care for both your brother and your family situation. He is faithful and he will not forsake those who call upon him in truth.
