We come before the throne of grace with you, lifting your burdens to Jesus Christ, who is our Great High Priest and the author of our faith. You have called upon the name above all names, and we join you in seeking His mercy, strength, and intervention in every area of your life. It is only through Jesus that we can boldly approach God, for He is our mediator and our hope. As Scripture declares, *"Let’s therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need"* (Hebrews 4:16, WEB). Your cry has not gone unheard, and we stand with you in faith, trusting that God is faithful to act on behalf of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.
Your pain—both physical and emotional—is deep, and we grieve with you over the weight you are carrying. The Lord sees your suffering, and He is near to the brokenhearted. *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds"* (Psalm 147:3, WEB). We pray for your body, that God would be your healer and your strength. Whether through medical intervention or divine healing, we ask that He would restore you, ease your pain, and grant you the ability to walk and work without agony. *"By his stripes you were healed"* (1 Peter 2:24, WEB), and we claim this promise over you, trusting in His timing and His will. If surgery is necessary, we pray for wisdom for your doctors, for supernatural peace to guard your heart, and for provision for every need. You do not need to fear, for *"God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). Cast this anxiety upon Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7).
We lift up your job and the pressures you face there. The temporary chiller, the deadlines, the fear of failure—all of these are in God’s hands. We pray that He would grant favor with your bosses, your customers, and your coworkers. *"Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us; establish the work of our hands for us; yes, establish the work of our hands"* (Psalm 90:17, WEB). We ask for His divine intervention in the work ahead of you, that He would guide your hands, sharpen your mind, and provide the resources and time needed to complete your tasks excellently and on time. The Lord is your provider, and He will not abandon you. *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33, WEB). Trust Him to sustain you, even in this season of difficulty.
Your marriage is also heavy on our hearts. A wife who is harsh and unloving is not the design God intended for marriage. Scripture calls wives to *"submit yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Lord"* (Ephesians 5:22, WEB) and to be *"kind, loving, and submissive to their own husbands"* (Titus 2:4-5, WEB). Likewise, husbands are commanded to *"love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for her"* (Ephesians 5:25, WEB). This love is sacrificial, patient, and kind—not based on feelings, but on a covenant commitment before God. We pray that the Lord would soften your wife’s heart and draw her to Himself, for it is only when we are surrendered to Christ that we can love as He calls us to. We also encourage you to examine your own heart and actions. Are you loving her as Christ loves the church? Are you leading her spiritually, praying for her, and serving her with humility? Marriage is a reflection of Christ and His bride, and Satan delights in distorting this picture. Stand firm in love, pray for her daily, and trust God to work in her heart. *"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger"* (Proverbs 15:1, WEB). Let your words and actions be seasoned with grace, even when hers are not.
If there is unconfessed sin, bitterness, or unresolved conflict between you, we urge you to seek reconciliation. *"Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath"* (Ephesians 4:26, WEB). If she is unwilling to soften, continue to love her as Christ loves you—unconditionally and without retaliation. *"Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who mistreat you"* (Luke 6:28, WEB). This is not easy, but it is the path of righteousness. If her hardness persists, we encourage you to seek godly counseling, either through your church or a biblical counselor, to navigate this season with wisdom. Remember, you are not called to endure abuse or ongoing mistreatment, but to walk in love while setting healthy boundaries. *"If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men"* (Romans 12:18, WEB).
Finally, we want to remind you that your worth is not found in your job, your performance, or even your marriage—it is found in Christ alone. You are His beloved child, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Even if the worst were to happen—if you lost your job or faced surgery—God remains sovereign and good. His plans for you are for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Lean on Him, not on your own understanding. *"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight"* (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB).

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother who is weary, hurting, and in desperate need of Your touch. Lord, You see his pain—the physical agony in his body, the emotional weight of his job, and the brokenness in his marriage. We ask that You would be his healer, his provider, and his peace. Soften the hearts of those around him, Lord: his bosses, his coworkers, his customers, and especially his wife. Draw her to Yourself, Father, and melt her hardness with Your love. Give him wisdom to know how to love her as Christ loves the church, and grant him the strength to endure with grace.
Lord, we pray for supernatural intervention in his work. Fix what is broken, provide what is lacking, and grant him favor and excellence in all he does. Remove the fear of failure and replace it with trust in You. If surgery is necessary, guide the hands of the doctors and grant him a swift recovery. If there is another way, make it clear. You are Jehovah-Rapha, the God who heals, and we trust You to restore his body and his strength.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of fear that has gripped him. Replace it with Your perfect peace, which surpasses all understanding. Remind him that You are his shepherd, and he shall not want (Psalm 23:1). You are his refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Let him feel Your presence in a tangible way today.
We also pray for his marriage, Lord. Where there is strife, bring unity. Where there is bitterness, bring forgiveness. Where there is hardness, bring tenderness. Help them both to surrender to You, to seek You first, and to love one another as You have loved us. If there is sin that needs to be confessed or repented of, bring conviction and humility. Restore what the enemy has stolen, Lord.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would fill him with Your Holy Spirit, comforting him, guiding him, and reminding him of Your promises. Let him know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that You are with him and that You will never leave him. Give him the courage to seek godly counsel if needed, and the faith to trust You in every circumstance.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your goodness, Your power, and Your love. May Your will be done in his life, in his body, in his work, and in his marriage. We ask all this in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
