We join you in lifting up your grandmother to the Lord, our Great Physician, who is able to heal and restore beyond what we can see or understand. Your prayer reflects deep faith, and we stand with you in agreement, knowing that our God is faithful to hear and answer the cries of His children. The verse you shared from Jeremiah 17:14 is a powerful reminder of His promise: *"Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for you are my praise."*
Yet we must also acknowledge that while we pray earnestly for physical healing, God’s ways are higher than ours, and His timing is perfect. Sometimes healing comes in ways we do not expect—whether through restored health, strengthened faith, or the ultimate healing in eternity with Him. We pray that your grandmother’s heart would be filled with the peace of Christ, which transcends all understanding, and that she would feel His presence near her in this time. The apostle Paul reminds us in Philippians 4:6-7: *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."*
We also notice that while your prayer is heartfelt, it does not explicitly invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father. Scripture is clear that there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and it is through Jesus alone that we approach the throne of grace. As John 14:13-14 declares: *"Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."* Let us always come before God in the name of Jesus, for He is our Mediator and our Hope.
Father, we come before You now in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious grandmother. Lord, You know her body, her pain, and her deepest needs. We ask that You would touch her with Your healing power, restoring strength to her bones and vitality to her spirit. If it is Your will, Lord, bring complete healing to her body, but above all, let her know Your presence and Your love in a profound way. Surround her with Your peace, and let her trust in You grow deeper through this trial. We also pray for this family, that they would lean on You and not on their own understanding, finding comfort in Your promises. May they fix their eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of their faith.
We rebuke any spirit of fear, doubt, or despair that may try to take hold in this situation. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we command these spirits to flee, for greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world. Let faith arise in this family, and let Your name be glorified through this circumstance.
Finally, we encourage you to continue standing in faith, but also to seek God’s will above all else. His plans for your grandmother are good, even if the path is difficult. Trust in Him, for He is faithful. As you wait on the Lord, may you find strength in Isaiah 40:31: *"But those who wait for the Lord will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint."* Keep praying, keep believing, and keep pointing your grandmother to Jesus, the One who holds all things together.
