We come before the Lord with hearts full of compassion for the many burdens you carry, lifting each one to the throne of grace where Jesus intercedes for us. The Scriptures remind us that our Heavenly Father is the God of all comfort who heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds (Psalm 147:3). He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8), and His power to heal—whether physically, emotionally, or spiritually—remains unchanged. Let us first address the foundational truth that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we can approach God and receive these blessings. The Bible declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). If we do not come to God through Jesus, we have no access to His grace, mercy, or healing. We are so grateful you have turned to Him in this request, for He alone is our hope.
We lift up your health and that of your husband, asking the Lord to touch your bodies with His healing hand. For your anxiety, panic attacks, hearing loss, and the strange sensations you’ve described, we claim the promise that *"he himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. By his wounds you were healed"* (1 Peter 2:24, WEB). Anxiety is not from God, who tells us, *"Don’t be anxious for anything, 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"* (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB). We pray that the Lord will replace your fear with His perfect peace and restore your hearing and strength. May you both lean on Him fully, trusting that His grace is sufficient for every weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).
For your marriage, we recognize the enemy’s attempts to sow discord, anger, and division. The Bible commands husbands to *"love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it"* (Ephesians 5:25, WEB) and wives to *"see that they respect their husbands"* (Ephesians 5:33, WEB). If there is unresolved anger or bitterness, we urge you both to seek reconciliation through humility and forgiveness, remembering that *"a gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger"* (Proverbs 15:1, WEB). We rebuke any spirit of strife or resentment in Jesus’ name and pray that God would soften your husband’s heart toward you, restoring unity and love. Marriage is a covenant before God, and He desires to heal and strengthen it. If there are areas where either of you have fallen short, we encourage repentance and a return to the Lord’s design for your union.
We also lift up the young woman with brain cancer and your sister battling cancer, along with all others in your family and circle who are sick. Jesus demonstrated His authority over disease during His earthly ministry, and we stand on His promise that *"if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven"* (Matthew 18:19, WEB). We declare healing over their bodies in the name of Jesus, asking the Lord to intervene miraculously. May He grant them strength, comfort, and complete restoration, for *"with God, all things are possible"* (Matthew 19:26, WEB). We also pray for your family and friends, that the Lord would guard their health and fill them with His peace.
Regarding the pain you’ve expressed about your husband’s actions on social media, we gently remind you that forgiveness does not mean pretending the hurt doesn’t exist, but it does mean releasing the offense to God. The Bible says, *"Bear with each other, and forgive each other. If anyone has a complaint against anyone else, even as Christ forgave you, so you must also forgive"* (Colossians 3:13, WEB). While it’s natural to feel overlooked or wounded, we encourage you to focus on the Lord’s approval rather than man’s. Social media can often amplify feelings of rejection, but your worth is found in Christ alone. We pray that God would heal this area of your heart and give you wisdom in how to address it with your husband, if necessary, in a way that honors God.
We also notice your mention of forgiving others who have hurt you, and we commend you for this obedience to Scripture. However, we must address the lingering desire for validation through your husband’s friend list. This reveals a deeper need for security that can only truly be found in Christ. *"Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth"* (Colossians 3:2, WEB). We pray that the Lord would free you from comparing yourself to others and fill you with His love, which casts out all fear (1 John 4:18).
Lastly, we lift up your beloved pet, asking the Lord to grant your kitty good health, as He cares even for the sparrows (Matthew 10:29). We also pray for your upcoming visit on Friday, that the Lord would go before you, granting safe travel, joyful fellowship, and encouragement for all involved.
Let us pray together:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sister and her husband, along with all those she has mentioned who are in need of Your healing touch. Lord, You are Jehovah-Rapha, the God who heals, and we ask that You would stretch forth Your hand to restore health to their bodies—mind, spirit, and flesh. Touch her ears, Lord, and let her hear clearly. Calm her anxiety and panic attacks, replacing them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Strengthen her marriage, Lord, and soften her husband’s heart toward her. Remove any anger or bitterness and fill their home with Your love and unity. Father, we plead for the young woman with brain cancer and all others battling illness. You are the Great Physician, and we ask for miracles in their bodies, for complete healing and restoration. Comfort their families and grant them faith to trust in You.
Lord, we also lift up the emotional wounds our sister carries—the feelings of rejection, the desire for validation, and the pain of forgiveness. Heal her heart, Father, and remind her that her identity is found in You alone. Help her to release any lingering bitterness or comparison, and fill her with Your joy and contentment. We pray for her upcoming visit, that it would be a time of blessing and encouragement. And Father, we even ask for healing for her beloved pet, knowing that You care for all Your creation.
We rebuke any spirit of infirmity, fear, or division in Jesus’ name, declaring that no weapon formed against this family shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Lord, may Your will be done in all these situations, and may Your name be glorified through their testimonies of healing and restoration. We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Healer. Amen."*
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord daily through prayer, Scripture, and worship. *"Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7, WEB). Trust that He is working even in the waiting, and hold fast to His promises. If there are areas in your life or marriage that need alignment with God’s Word, we urge you to seek His wisdom and make any necessary changes. He is faithful to complete the work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6). Stay rooted in Christ, and may His peace guard your heart and mind as you walk in obedience to Him.
