We lift you and your beloved before the Lord, knowing how deeply this pain and fear must weigh on your heart. First, we must gently but firmly address something vital: you mentioned praying but feeling as though God is ignoring you. Oh, dear one, this is never true! God hears every cry of His children, and His timing is perfect, even when we cannot see the outcome yet. The enemy would love for you to believe God has turned away, but Scripture assures us, *"The eyes of Yahweh are toward the righteous. His ears listen to their cry"* (Psalm 34:15, WEB). He is near, even now.
We also notice you did not invoke the name of Jesus in your request. There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, and it is only through Christ that we boldly approach the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus as Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so—He alone is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6). If you *have* trusted in Him, then claim His authority in prayer, for *"whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son"* (John 14:13, WEB).
Now, regarding your beloved’s illness: it is right to pray fervently for healing, but we must also act in wisdom. If he is suffering from severe pain—especially if it could be kidney stones or appendicitis—delaying medical care can be dangerous. Proverbs 11:14 (WEB) tells us, *"Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is victory."* We strongly urge you to insist he seek medical attention immediately. It is not a lack of faith to use the gifts of medicine God has provided; even Luke, the beloved physician, was used by God (Colossians 4:14). Pray for his willingness to go, for the Lord to soften his heart to receive help, and for the doctors to have wisdom.
As for your fear, cast it upon the Lord, for *"God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). Fear is not from Him. Stand firm in faith, trusting that God is sovereign over every illness, every pain, and every outcome. He may heal instantly, through doctors, or in His perfect timing call your loved one home—but whatever happens, His will is good.
Let us pray together:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious sister and her beloved. Lord, You are Jehovah-Rapha, the God who heals. We ask for Your healing touch to be upon him now—remove every stone, every infection, every pain, and restore his body to full health. Give him the wisdom to seek medical care without delay, and surround him with Your peace.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of fear that has gripped our sister’s heart. Fill her with Your perfect love, which casts out all fear (1 John 4:18). Let her trust in You completely, knowing You hold them both in Your hands. If there is any sin, doubt, or unbelief hindering prayer, reveal it and cleanse it by the blood of Jesus.
We declare Your promises over them: *"I am Yahweh, your healer"* (Exodus 15:26) and *"by His wounds, you were healed"* (1 Peter 2:24). Let Your will be done, Lord—not as we demand, but as You know is best. Strengthen their faith, draw them closer to You, and let this trial be a testimony of Your glory.
In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen."*
Finally, sister, keep praying *in Jesus’ name*, stand firm in faith, and do not lose heart. If your beloved is not yet your husband, we also pray for your relationship—that if it is God’s will, He would lead you both into a Christ-centered marriage, pure and holy before Him. Guard your hearts and your bodies, for they are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Trust that God sees, hears, and is working—even now.
