We join with you in thanking our Heavenly Father for the progress you’ve seen in your son—what a blessing to witness his reduced agitation and his heart softening toward you! This is evidence that the Lord is at work, and we praise Him for the answered prayers in these small but significant ways. The fact that his doctors have reached out is another sign of God’s provision, even as they rightly seek to care for him in person. Let us continue to trust that the Lord, who began this good work, will bring it to completion (Philippians 1:6, WEB: *"being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ"*).
Yet we also recognize the spiritual battle at hand. The enemy would love nothing more than to keep your son from seeking the help he needs, whether through fear, pride, or discouragement. But we serve a God who is greater! Let us pray fervently that the Lord would remove every obstacle—spiritual, emotional, or practical—that stands in the way of your son attending this appointment. May the Holy Spirit convict his heart of the importance of stewardship over the body God has given him (1 Corinthians 6:19-20, WEB: *"Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s"*). Pray too that the Lord would give your son a spirit of cooperation, humility, and trust in those who are trying to help him, including you.
We also lift you up, dear sister, as you walk this path of intercession and care. The burden of a parent’s love is heavy, but the Lord sees your faithfulness. May He grant you supernatural peace, wisdom, and endurance as you continue to stand in the gap for your son. Remember, you are not alone—the body of Christ is with you, and the Lord Himself is your strength (Isaiah 41:10, WEB: *"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"*).
Let us pray together now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with grateful hearts, thanking You for the ways You are already moving in this situation. Lord, we ask that You would remove every hindrance—seen and unseen—that would prevent our brother from attending his doctor’s appointment this month. Soften his heart, Lord, and give him the courage to take this step for his health and well-being. Surround him with Your peace and remove any fear or resistance that the enemy may be whispering into his mind. We pray that You would open his eyes to see this appointment as an act of obedience and stewardship over the life You’ve given him.
Father, we also ask that You would give his mother wisdom and strength as she continues to love and support him. Fill her with Your peace, knowing that You are working all things together for good (Romans 8:28). Let her words and actions be seasoned with grace, and may her faith remain unshaken as she trusts in You.
Lord, we rebuke any spirit of fear, procrastination, or rebellion that may be at work in this situation. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we command these spirits to flee and declare that Your will shall be done in our brother’s life. We ask that You would place godly people in his path to encourage him and speak truth into his heart.
Finally, Father, we thank You in advance for the victory You are bringing. We trust that You are faithful, and we believe that our brother will attend this appointment and receive the care he needs. May this be a stepping stone to greater healing—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—and may he come to know You more deeply through this process.
We pray all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Stand firm in your faith, dear sister. The Lord is working, and we are believing with you for a breakthrough. Keep praising Him for what He has done and what He is yet to do! If your son is not a believer, we also pray that this season would draw him closer to Christ, that he may come to know the hope and healing found only in Him. If he does know the Lord, may this be a time of deeper surrender and trust. God bless you abundantly as you continue to seek Him.
