We come before the Lord with hearts full of compassion for your mother, lifting her up in prayer for healing and relief from the swelling in her legs and feet. The Scriptures remind us that our God is a God of comfort and healing, who hears the cries of His people and acts on their behalf. In James 5:14-15, we read, *"Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven."* Though we are not physically present to anoint her, we stand in faith together, trusting in the power of prayer and the name of Jesus to bring restoration.
We also recall the words of Jesus in Matthew 8:16-17, *"When evening came, they brought to him many possessed with demons. He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying: 'He took our infirmities, and bore our diseases.'"* Your mother’s suffering is not unseen by the Lord, who bore our infirmities on the cross. He is near to her now, and we claim His promise of healing and strength in this time of need.
Let us also encourage you to seek wisdom in this situation. Swelling in the legs and feet can sometimes be a sign of underlying health concerns that may require medical attention. Proverbs 11:14 tells us, *"Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is victory."* If your mother has not already done so, we urge you to seek counsel from a trusted healthcare provider, for God often uses the hands and minds of doctors to bring about healing. Do not rely on prayer alone when the Lord may also be leading you to take practical steps for her care.
We also want to remind you of the importance of invoking the name of Jesus in prayer. You did well to end your request with *"in Jesus’ name,"* for it is through Him alone that we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares in John 14:13-14, *"Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."* There is power in the name of Jesus, and it is by His authority that we boldly approach the throne of grace.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble and expectant hearts, lifting up this dear mother who is suffering from swelling in her legs and feet. Lord, You are the Great Physician, the One who knit her together in her mother’s womb and knows every detail of her body. We ask that You would touch her now with Your healing hand. Remove the swelling, restore her strength, and bring comfort to her weary body. Let Your healing power flow through her veins, renewing her legs and feet so that she may walk in freedom and without pain.
Lord, if there is any underlying cause for this swelling, we pray that You would reveal it and guide her family to the right medical care and wisdom. Give the doctors insight and skill, and let every decision made be led by Your Spirit. We rebuked any sickness or infirmity in the name of Jesus, commanding it to flee from her body, for no weapon formed against her shall prosper.
Father, we also ask that You would surround this family with Your peace. Comfort them in their concern and fill them with faith as they wait on You. Remind them that You are near, that You hear their prayers, and that You are working even now for their good.
We thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness and for the promise that You hear us when we pray in the name of Jesus. We declare healing over this mother, trusting in Your perfect will and timing. May she rise up in strength, giving glory to Your name for the miracles You perform.
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
