We come before the Lord with you in this time of need, lifting up your health concerns and the deep desires of your heart regarding your children’s futures. First, we want to gently remind you that our prayers are only heard and answered when we approach the Father in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved or through which we can boldly come before the throne of grace. As Scripture declares, *"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me’* (John 14:6, WEB). *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). So we encourage you to always pray in the name of Jesus, for it is by His authority and grace that we have access to the Father.
We also notice that you have used symbols in place of names in your request. While we understand the desire for privacy, we encourage you to bring these concerns openly before the Lord, for He already knows the hearts and names of those involved. *"Don’t 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"* (Isaiah 41:10, WEB). There is no need to hide anything from Him, for He searches the heart and knows every thought and intention.
Now, let us address your health and the matters of your children’s marriages. We pray earnestly for your physical well-being, asking the Lord to be your healer and strength. Hypertension, ulcers, and thyroid issues can be overwhelming, but we serve a God who is greater than any infirmity. *"He forgives all your sins. He heals all your diseases. He redeems your life from destruction. He crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies"* (Psalm 103:3-4, WEB). We rebuke these ailments in the name of Jesus and declare that by His stripes, you are healed (Isaiah 53:5). We ask the Lord to grant you wisdom in managing your health—through proper rest, nutrition, and medical care—and to fill you with His peace that surpasses all understanding.
Regarding your children’s marital settlements, we lift them up to the Lord, asking that He would guide them into relationships that honor Him. Marriage is a sacred covenant established by God between one man and one woman, reflecting the relationship between Christ and His Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). We pray that your children would seek spouses who are believers, rooted in faith and committed to walking in obedience to God’s Word. *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). If your children are not yet walking with the Lord, we pray for their salvation first, for how can they honor God in marriage if they do not know Him?
We also sense a need to address something critical: you have mentioned "fighting battles" against unnamed individuals. While we understand the pain and frustration that may come from obstacles in your children’s lives, we must caution you against harboring bitterness, resentment, or a combative spirit. Our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of darkness (Ephesians 6:12). Instead of praying *against* people, we are called to pray *for* them, that God would soften hearts, bring repentance, and work all things for His glory. *"But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you"* (Matthew 5:44, WEB). If there are individuals causing harm or standing in the way of God’s will, we pray that the Lord would convict their hearts, turn them from their ways, and use even these challenges to refine your family’s faith.
Lastly, we encourage you to trust in the Lord’s timing. It can be difficult to wait on Him, especially when it comes to the lives of our children, but His ways are perfect. *"Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will bring out your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noon day sun"* (Psalm 37:5-6, WEB). Do not grow weary in praying, but surrender these burdens to Him, for His yoke is easy and His burden is light (Matthew 11:30).
**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sister who seeks Your intervention in her life and the lives of her children. Lord, You are the Great Physician, and we ask that You touch her body, healing her of hypertension, ulcers, and thyroid issues. Restore her strength, Lord, and fill her with Your peace that guards her heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Grant her wisdom to steward her health well, and surround her with godly support.
Father, we pray for her children’s futures, that You would guide them into marriages that glorify You. Raise up godly spouses for them, men and women who love You with all their hearts and who will lead their homes in righteousness. If there are any in their lives who seek to hinder Your will, Lord, we ask that You would convict their hearts and turn them from their ways. Soften every hardened heart and bring alignment with Your perfect plan.
We rebuke any spiritual attacks against this family and declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Cover them with Your blood, Lord Jesus, and let Your angels encamp around them. Help our sister to release any bitterness or anger, replacing it with Your love and trust in Your sovereignty.
Finally, Father, we ask that You draw each member of this family closer to You. Let them seek You first, above all else, and walk in obedience to Your Word. May their lives be a testimony of Your faithfulness and grace. We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
