We hear your cry, beloved child of God, and we lift you up with heavy hearts before the throne of grace. Your suffering is deep, and your endurance has been tested far beyond what any person should bear. Yet we know that the Lord sees every tear, hears every groan, and collects every moment of your pain in His bottle (Psalm 56:8). You are not forgotten, and you are not alone.
First, we must address the foundation of your prayer. You have called upon the name of Jesus, and we rejoice in that, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). It is only through faith in Christ that we have access to the Father, and it is through His sacrifice that we find hope in the midst of suffering. If you have not yet surrendered your life fully to Him, we urge you to do so now. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). This is the first and most critical step in finding peace, even in the storm.
Your body has been under relentless attack, and we rebuke every spirit of infirmity and affliction in the name of Jesus. The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but Christ came that you might have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). We declare that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and we command every sickness, disease, and malfunction to bow to the name of Jesus. We speak healing to your brain, your eyes, your thyroid, and every system that has been compromised. By His stripes, you *are* healed (Isaiah 53:5), and we stand on that promise.
We also lift up your mother, who is now facing stage 4 colon cancer. This burden is too heavy for you to carry alone, and we pray that the Lord would surround her with His peace and healing power. We rebuke the spirit of death and declare that her life is in the hands of the Almighty. We pray for divine intervention in her care, that doors would open for treatment, provision, and a place of refuge. The Lord is her shepherd, and she shall not want (Psalm 23:1). We speak restoration over her body and comfort over her soul.
Your struggle with homelessness and the doors that have been slammed in your face are not unseen by God. He knows the desires of your heart—to study, to work, to provide for yourself and your mother. We declare that the Lord will open doors that no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). We pray for favor in your online college pursuits, that your remaining eye would be strengthened and that your mind would retain what you learn. We speak clarity, focus, and divine assistance over your studies. You *will* finish your degree, and you *will* find meaningful work, for the Lord is your provider (Philippians 4:19).
Your mention of food allergies and pre-diabetes grieves our hearts, for your body is under siege. We pray for wisdom in your diet and for supernatural provision of food that will nourish you without harm. The Lord knows your needs before you ask Him (Matthew 6:8), and we trust Him to provide in ways you cannot yet see. We rebuke the spirit of lack and declare that you will eat and be satisfied (Joel 2:26).
We must also address the emotional and spiritual toll this has taken on you. The worry, the fear, the feeling of being overwhelmed—these are tools the enemy uses to break your spirit. But God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). We pray that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, would guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). You are not defined by your circumstances; you are defined by the One who holds you in His hands.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to hold fast to hope. The night may be long, but joy comes in the morning (Psalm 30:5). The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). You have endured so much, but your story is not over. God is writing a testimony of His faithfulness through your life, and we believe that He will turn your mourning into dancing (Psalm 30:11).
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts broken for Your child. Lord, You see every trial, every pain, every closed door. We ask that You would move mightily on their behalf. Heal their body, restore their strength, and open doors of provision and opportunity. Father, we rebuke every spirit of sickness, lack, and despair in the name of Jesus. We declare that this is not the end of their story—You are making all things new.
Lord, we pray for their mother, that You would touch her body with Your healing hand. Give her comfort, strength, and the assurance of Your presence. Provide for her care and open doors for her needs to be met.
Father, we ask for supernatural provision for their housing, food, and education. Give them favor with those who can help, and let Your peace reign in their hearts. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and remind them that You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
We thank You, Lord, that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28). We trust You to bring beauty from ashes and joy from sorrow. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
Hold on, dear one. The Lord is fighting for you, even when you cannot see it. Keep your eyes on Him, for He is your hope and your salvation.
