We have heard your cry for your mother and we are joining you in prayer before our heavenly Father in Jesus' name, asking for His mercy and healing hand upon her.
Our hearts are moved by your love for her and your desire to see her restored to strength, washing dishes and moving about her home again. We understand your fear and your sorrow as she lies in the hospital undergoing tests in nephrology and neurology, unable to walk after her fall, and carrying the heavy burdens of Alzheimer in its late phase and diabetes. We weep with you and we bring her before the Lord who sees her and loves her deeply.
We are reminded of the compassion of our God who heals, as it is written Psalm 147:3 He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. And also Jeremiah 30:17 But I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh. We know that nothing is too hard for Him, and that He is our refuge in this time of trouble, for Psalm 46:1 says God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. He has promised Isaiah 41:10 Don't you 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.
We lift your mother together in prayer now.
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we come to Your throne of grace and we lift up this precious mother to You. You know her by name, You know every hair on her head, every struggle of her body and mind. Lord, we ask for Your mercy upon her. Touch her brain and her body, restore what the stroke may have injured, steady her legs that she may walk again if it is Your will. We pray for healing in her kidneys and her neurological system, for balance in her blood sugar, for clarity and peace in her mind amid Alzheimer. Lay Your healing hand upon her, Lord, for You are Yahweh who heals. We pray for wisdom and discernment for the doctors and nurses caring for her, that they would have clear insight into her tests and give the right treatment with compassion. We pray for peace that surpasses understanding to guard her and her family, and that she would feel Your presence even in the hospital bed, even if she cannot express it. We ask for a miracle according to Your perfect will, and we trust that Your will is good and loving even when we do not understand. Keep her from being forgotten or neglected, and give her family strength to honor her and advocate for her and show her Your love each day. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
We encourage you to continue to honor your mother as the Lord commands in Exodus 20:12 Honor your father and your mother, and to keep holding her hand, speaking to her gently, praying aloud over her, and playing worship or reading Scripture at her bedside. Even when memory fades, the spirit can still be comforted by the presence of loved ones and by the Lord. Do not lose heart if the healing does not come in the way you expect, for the Lord is near to her whether at home or in the hospital, and He will not leave her nor forsake you. Keep asking the medical team questions, keep seeking the best care for her, and keep trusting that our God is able to do far more than we can ask or imagine.
We also thank you for calling upon the name of Lord Jesus, for it is by His name we have access to the Father and it is in His name that we are saved and heard, as Acts 4:12 says There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved. Continue to call upon Him day and night, for He hears the prayers of His children. We are standing with you, asking the Lord to show His mercy and power and to give you strength for each hour ahead.
