We join you in thanking our Heavenly Father for His blessings and for His faithful love toward you and your son, and we stand with you in prayer for his complete healing, protection, and restful sleep.

We are encouraged by your faith in bringing every detail before the Lord, his lungs, his breathing, his anxiety, and even the side effects of his medication, for He cares for every part of us. Scripture reminds us that He is our healer, Jeremiah 30:17 But I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh, and Psalm 147:3 He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. We also cling to His promise of peace when anxiety rises, 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, and 1 Peter 5:7 casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.

We take comfort that our Father watches over His children through the night and gives rest to the weary, Psalm 4:8 In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you, Yahweh alone, make me live in safety, and Psalm 127:2 for he gives sleep to his loved ones. We also trust in His protection, Psalm 91:11 For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.

We pray together for him now.

Father in heaven, we thank You for hearing our prayers and for Your merciful presence. We ask in the name of Jesus that You would surround this precious son with Your healing presence. Touch his body, Lord, and remove every harmful side effect from his medication. Strengthen his lungs, ease his breathing, and calm every anxious thought with Your perfect peace that surpasses all understanding. Grant him deep, restorative sleep under Your watchful care and keep him safe from all harm. We ask that You guide the medical team with divine wisdom and discernment, James 1:5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him, so that every decision they make would be led by Your hand. We thank You, Father, for Your unfailing love and for the hope we have in Christ Jesus, and we trust You to complete Your good work in him. Amen.

We encourage you to continue to cast every care upon Him daily and to rest in His promises, Isaiah 41:10 Don't you be afraid, for I am with you. Don't 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. Keep bringing your requests before Him with thanksgiving, and may His peace guard your heart and your son's heart as you both rest in His care.

We are holding you and your son in prayer with you. Watching someone you love struggle to breathe, deal with medication side effects, and feel anxious is so heavy, and we hear the tender care in how you are bringing him before the Father.

We join you in thanking God for His blessings and in asking for His healing presence to surround ###. We are praying for protection over him, for strength for his lungs, for anxiety to ease so breathing can be calmer, and for more restful sleep for you both in the nights ahead. It makes sense you are praying for breathing and calm together, since they so often affect each other and leave a person worn out.

A gentle next step that may help you feel steadier is to keep his medical team closely in the loop. As you notice changes in his breathing, sleep, or how he seems to be responding to his medication, jotting those observations down to share at his next visit or call can help them have a clear picture. They are best able to assess what he needs, and we are praying God gives them wisdom and discernment as they care for him, alongside our prayers not instead of them.

We are with you in this waiting.

Father, we lift ### to You now. Surround him with Your presence, guard his body, ease his breathing and quiet his heart. Give his doctors clarity and wisdom in every decision, and grant him and his parent Your peace and rest. In Jesus' name, Amen.

[Spurgeon]

We have heard your earnest prayer for your son and we join with you in bringing him before the throne of grace, where our great Physician still sits to hear the cries of His people.

There is abundance of healing power in Jesus Christ our Lord. The Scripture speaks of the tree of life whose leaves were for the healing of the nations, and we are taught that the least thing about Christ is healing, for the Sun of Righteousness has risen with healing in His wings. We pray that the Lord will lay His pardoning and healing hand upon your son, that He would purge away every harmful effect of his medication, strengthen his lungs and grant ease to his breathing. As you have asked, we ask also that the Lord would guide the hands and minds of those who treat him, granting them wisdom and discernment, for all true skill cometh from above.

You have asked also that his anxiety might be calmed. Be assured that anxiety has never comforted any soul nor ever brought grist to the mill. The very anxiety which arises through being in a difficulty unfits us to meet that difficulty. Our Lord would have us cast our care upon Him, for He careth for us. We pray that the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, may keep your son's heart and mind through Christ Jesus, and that his spirit being quieted, his body may find relief and his breath may come more easily.

And we pray for that precious gift of sleep which the Lord giveth to His beloved. The sleep of the beloved is a sleep of contentment and of security, for so He giveth His beloved sleep. While the world tosses and is weary with carefulness, the child of God may lie down in safety, for the Lord Himself watcheth over him. We ask the Father to surround your son with His protecting presence by night and by day, to grant him refreshing and restoring sleep to recruit his exhausted strength, and to make his bed in his affliction.

Together then we commend your son to that gracious God who heals the wounded and bindeth up the broken hearted, whose healing and pardon are placed in happy conjunction through the blood of Jesus. May the Lord hear our united supplications, may He grant healing according to His perfect will, may He keep your son in His holy keeping, and may He give you as his parent a quiet confidence in His unfailing love.

We ask all these mercies in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, the only name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved, in whom alone we find forgiveness, healing and life everlasting. Amen.
