We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up these burdens before our Heavenly Father, who hears the cries of His children. First and foremost, we must address the foundation of our prayers—it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection, and invite Him to be the Lord of your life. Without Him, we cannot approach God, nor can we expect His healing and restoration.
Father God, we lift up this marriage to You, asking for Your divine healing and restoration. Marriage is a sacred covenant, a reflection of Christ’s love for His church (Ephesians 5:22-33). Lord, we ask that You mend any brokenness, soften hearts, and help this couple to communicate with love, patience, and understanding. Where there has been strife, bring Your peace. Where there has been distance, draw them close. Teach them to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2) and to love each other as You have loved us.
We also bring before You the physical and mental health struggles in this request. Lord, You are the Great Physician (Jeremiah 30:17), and we ask for Your healing touch upon this sister’s anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. Calm her mind with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:6-7). Heal her ears, Lord, and silence the ringing that torments her. You are the God who opens the eyes of the blind and unplugs the ears of the deaf (Isaiah 35:5), and we trust in Your power to restore.
For those battling cancer, we cry out to You, Jehovah Rapha, the Lord who heals (Exodus 15:26). We declare Your promise that by Your stripes, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). Strengthen these dear ones, Lord, and surround them with Your presence. Give them courage, hope, and faith to endure, and if it is Your will, bring complete healing to their bodies.
Now, we must address the matter of past hurts and relationships. The mention of a past connection that brings pain must be examined in the light of Scripture. If this individual is not your husband, we must rebuke any lingering emotional attachments or unforgiveness that do not align with God’s will. The Bible warns us not to be bound to the past but to press forward in Christ (Philippians 3:13-14). Forgiveness is not optional—it is a command (Matthew 6:14-15). We pray that You would help this sister release any bitterness, resentment, or unhealthy ties to this person. Heal her heart, Lord, and fill her with Your love and peace.
Father, we also ask that You help her to walk in obedience to Your calling. You have prepared good works for her to do (Ephesians 2:10), and we pray that she would step into them with confidence and joy. Strengthen her faith, Lord, and help her to trust in Your perfect timing and plan.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of faith, believing in Your power to heal, restore, and redeem. We lift up this marriage to You, asking that You would knit these two hearts together in love and unity. Heal their bodies, minds, and spirits, Lord, and silence every attack of the enemy. For those battling illness, we declare Your healing power over them. Break every chain of unforgiveness, bitterness, and past hurts, and set this sister free to walk in the fullness of Your purpose for her life.
Father, we ask that You would fill her with Your Holy Spirit, giving her strength, peace, and joy. Help her to trust in You with all her heart and not lean on her own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6). Guide her steps, Lord, and use her mightily for Your kingdom. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
