We lift up your dear mother before the throne of grace, asking our Heavenly Father to bring comfort, healing, and rest to her body, mind, and spirit. Father, You are the Great Physician, and we trust in Your power to restore and renew. We ask that You ease her neck pain, soothe her respiratory symptoms, and lift the heaviness of depression and brain fog that weighs on her. Your Word reminds us in Psalm 34:18, *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* We claim this promise for her, Lord, and ask that You draw near to her in this time of need.
Father, we also pray for deep and uninterrupted sleep for your beloved daughter. In Psalm 4:8, You tell us, *"In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for you, Lord alone, make me live in safety."* We ask that You grant her this peace tonight—calm her mind, relax her body, and let her rest in the safety of Your presence. May her sleep be healing, restoring her strength and clarity for the days ahead.
Lord, we know that Alzheimer’s is a difficult journey, both for her and for those who love her. We ask that You grant her moments of clarity and joy, even amid the fog. Help her to feel Your love and the love of her family surrounding her. Give her caregivers patience, wisdom, and compassion as they tend to her needs.
We rebuke the spirit of infirmity and depression in the name of Jesus Christ. We declare that her body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and we speak healing over every part of her being—her neck, her lungs, her mind, and her emotions. We stand on Your Word in James 5:14-15, *"Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, 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."*
Father, we also want to gently remind all who read this that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to You. There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If anyone reading this does not know Jesus as their Lord and Savior, we encourage them to turn to Him, confess their sins, and invite Him into their hearts. He is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6), and it is through Him that we find true healing, peace, and eternal life.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
