We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up your dear mother to our Heavenly Father. We know that in times of illness and weakness, the Lord is our healer and our strength. The Word of God assures us in Psalm 103:2-3, "Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases." We stand on this promise, believing that God is able to restore her health and bring comfort to her body, mind, and spirit.
Father, we pray specifically for your healing touch upon her respiratory virus. Ease her breathing, soothe her raspy voice, and guard her against fever or any worsening symptoms. You are the Great Physician, and we ask that You would bring relief to her lungs and throat. Strengthen her body, Lord, even as she goes about her daily tasks. Let her feel Your sustaining power, as Isaiah 40:31 reminds us, "But those who wait for Yahweh 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."
We also lift up the woman who watches over her, asking that You would fill her with wisdom, patience, and compassion. May she be a true blessing to your mother, attending to her needs with love and diligence. Let every person who enters her apartment—including ### and ###—be instruments of Your peace and grace. May your presence be tangible in her home, bringing comfort to her heart as she navigates the challenges of Alzheimer’s, diabetes, depression, and grief. Lord, we ask that You would minister to her soul, easing the weight of sorrow she carries since the loss of her father. Remind her that You are near to the brokenhearted, as Psalm 34:18 declares, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."
Father, we also bring before You her physical ailments—her gastrointestinal issues, blood pressure, and heart condition. We ask for Your healing hand to touch each of these areas, bringing stability and relief. Guard her mind from the confusion of Alzheimer’s, and grant her moments of clarity and peace. Help her to feel Your love in tangible ways, even in the midst of her struggles.
We rebuke the spirit of infirmity in Jesus’ name, declaring that by His stripes, she is healed (Isaiah 53:5). We speak life over her body, mind, and spirit, trusting in Your power to restore and renew. May she experience Your peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding her heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Lord, we also ask that You would strengthen ### and ### as you care for her. Give you both wisdom, patience, and endurance, and let your love for her be a reflection of Your love for us. May this season draw your family closer to You and to one another, as You work all things together for good (Romans 8:28).
We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, the only name by which we can come before You. There is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). We trust in Him alone for her healing, her comfort, and her salvation. Amen.
