Beloved of All
We are grateful you shared what is on your heart and we have heard your concern for this young woman who is now in the hospital with kidney stones.
It is right that you want to bring her pain and your care for her to the Lord in prayer. We will pray with you for her healing, that God in His mercy would relieve her pain, guide the hands of those caring for her, and restore her to health. We serve a God who is faithful to establish and guard His people, and who is able to bring life and healing even where there seems to be only hardness and suffering, as from stones themselves.
We also hear your struggle with worry. Worry itself is not beyond God's grace, but Scripture invites us to bring our anxieties to Him and leave them there. He does not want you to be burdened with fear, but to be freed from that anxiety and to rest in trust. As you said, God calls us to cast our cares on Him because He cares for us, and to trust that He knows what is best. You can bring your concern for her to Him honestly, asking for His peace for both of you while you wait.
Regarding your hope to be together, we will not ask God to simply grant that desire apart from His will. Instead we will pray that the Lord would direct your hearts into the love of God and into patient trust in Christ. If it is His will, we pray He would make a way for a relationship that honors Him, which in Scripture is a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman entered into with purity and with Christ at the center, keeping physical intimacy within marriage alone. Above all we pray that both of you would know salvation through Jesus Christ alone and would seek His will first.
So let us pray together. Lord Jesus, we ask for Your mercy on this young woman in her suffering. Ease her pain, dissolve what causes her distress, and bring her healing according to Your will. Give wisdom to her doctors and comfort to her. Help the one who cares for her to trust You fully, to be freed from anxious worry, and to seek Your will above his own desires. Lead them both to walk in holiness and to desire what pleases You. Let Your perfect will be done in their lives, and grant them peace as they wait on You. In Jesus name, Amen.

Your honesty about your worry and your care for this young woman is heard, and it is good that you are bringing it to the Lord in prayer.
You mentioned feeling guilty for worrying, as if worry puts you outside of grace. Scripture gives us a different picture. When we fall short, we have one who stands for us before the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. There is one God and one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus. He is your advocate. That does not mean worry is good for you, but it does mean you can come to the Father through Jesus with confidence that you are forgiven and represented by Him, not cast aside when your faith feels shaky.
Jesus taught about worry very directly. He showed that it is futile, it does not add anything to our lives or change our circumstances, and He calls us to a better way. He said to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and to not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have its own concerns and each day has enough to handle. Your relationship with God is the most important relationship you have, and it is meant to be the steady center. When that relationship is secure, it affects every other relationship in your life. Joy that is rooted in Him can remain constant even when circumstances are painful or uncertain, because He does not change.
It is right to care and to pray for this young woman in the hospital. It is loving to ask the Lord to have mercy, to ease her pain, to guide those caring for her, and to bring healing according to His wisdom. God calls us to love one another as Christ has loved us, which is a giving and self sacrificing love, and to be kind, tenderhearted, and forgiving toward one another as God for Christ's sake has forgiven us. You can show that kind of love now by praying for her good, without demanding a particular outcome for yourself.
I also want to gently encourage you about the hope that you and she will be together. It is easy to live in a fantasy about how a relationship will be, and that fantasy can promise much but have no substance. Reality with God is better. The loving response to His love for us is to trust His will, even with our desires. Instead of holding tightly to the belief that God must bring you together in the way you imagine, hold tightly to Him and trust Him to do what is best for both of you. If He so loved us, we ought to love one another in a way that wants God's best for the other person, not just what we want.
So keep praying, but pray with open hands. Pray for her healing and comfort. Pray that the Lord would be known to both of you as Savior, for apart from faith in Jesus we have no true hope. Pray that He would give you peace that guards your heart, wisdom for how to care appropriately, and a willingness to accept His will, whether that includes a future together or not. Whatever He allows, you can trust it comes through the hands of One who loves you supremely.
Let me pray for you both. Lord Jesus, thank You that You are our mediator and advocate, and that we can come to the Father through You. We bring this young woman before You who is suffering with kidney stones. Please bring relief from pain, bring healing, and give wisdom to those treating her. Comfort her and let her know Your presence and love. We also lift up this young man who cares for her. Forgive his worry and replace it with trust. Teach him to seek Your kingdom first, to find his joy and security in You, and to love others as You have loved us. Lead both of their lives according to Your perfect will, and help them to want Your will above all else. In Your name we pray, amen.

Praying in Jesus Name. Amen.
We thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf for the young woman you have cared about for a long time who is now in the hospital with kidney stones. We are glad that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer and we have been lifting her up before the Lord that He would touch her body, dissolve the stones and take away her pain and bring her to complete healing.
We also understand your worry for someone you care about so deeply and your desire that the Lord would make a way for you to be together according to His will. We join you in believing for her healing and for God's perfect will to be done in both of your lives, and we are reminded of Philippians 4:6 which tells us to be anxious for nothing but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving to let our requests be made known unto God. We know the Lord sees your heart, hears your confession and extends grace as you cast your care upon Him.
We pray together in Jesus Name that our Heavenly Father would lay His healing hand upon her, relieve her pain, restore her health and grant the doctors wisdom in her care. We ask that He would give you peace that passes all understanding as you trust Him, and that He would guide your relationship according to His good and perfect will.
If your request was answered and she has recovered and the pain has gone away, please post a praise report and let us all know so we can rejoice with you. If your request does not seem to have been answered and she is still in need of healing or you are still carrying this burden of worry, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek Him through His Son, Jesus Christ.
