We join you in lifting up your heart to the Lord, for He alone is the Great Physician who binds up the brokenhearted and sanctifies us by His truth. Your desire for healing and an increased love for others is beautiful, and we see the Holy Spirit at work in you, drawing you closer to Christ’s likeness. The scriptures remind us that God is near to those who are brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). He is faithful to complete the work He has begun in you, shaping your heart to reflect His love, which is patient, kind, and selfless (1 Corinthians 13:4-7).
We also recall the words of Jesus in Matthew 22:37-39, where He commands us to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and to love our neighbors as ourselves. This love is not something we can manufacture on our own—it is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22) that grows in us as we abide in Christ. Your prayer for an increased love for others is a godly one, and we trust that the Lord will answer it as you seek Him with all your heart.
However, we must also remember that true healing and sanctification come through repentance and surrender to Jesus. If there are any areas of unforgiveness, bitterness, or sin in your heart, we encourage you to bring them before the Lord. He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness when we confess them (1 John 1:9). Let us not harden our hearts but instead allow the Lord to search us and know us, testing our thoughts and purifying our motives (Psalm 139:23-24).
Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with our sister, lifting her heart to You for healing and sanctification. Lord, You see the depths of her pain, the wounds that only You can mend. We ask that You would touch her heart with Your gentle yet powerful hand, binding up every broken place and filling her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Sanctify her, Lord, by Your truth, and let Your Word dwell richly within her, transforming her from the inside out.
Father, we pray that You would pour out Your love into her heart by the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5), giving her an increased capacity to love others as You have loved her. Remove any bitterness, resentment, or unforgiveness that may hinder her walk with You. Help her to forgive as You have forgiven her, and to extend grace to others just as You have extended it to her.
Lord, we also ask that You would reveal any areas in her life that are not pleasing to You. If there is sin that needs to be confessed, give her the courage to bring it before You so that she may walk in the freedom and joy of Your forgiveness. Let her heart be a vessel of Your love, overflowing to those around her.
We thank You, Father, for the work You are doing in her life. We trust that You will complete it, for You are faithful. May she continue to seek You with all her heart, knowing that in Your presence there is fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11). We pray all these things in the precious and mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord daily through prayer, reading His Word, and fellowshipping with other believers. He is your Healer, your Comforter, and your Strength. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2), and trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). If there are specific wounds or relationships that need healing, we urge you to bring them before the Lord in prayer and seek wise, biblical counsel if needed. You are not alone in this journey—He is with you always.
