We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up each of these burdens before our Heavenly Father, knowing that He hears the cries of His children. First and foremost, we must acknowledge that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved, and it is by His blood alone that we are healed and made whole. Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." If you have not already, we encourage you to confess Jesus as Lord, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9).
Father God, we lift up this dear one’s physical ailments before You, for You are the Great Physician. We pray for complete healing in their gastrointestinal tract, stomach, skin, and ears. Lord, we ask that You would touch every cell, every organ, and every system in their body, restoring them to full health and strength. Your Word declares in Jeremiah 30:17, "For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh." We claim this promise over their life, believing that You are working even now to bring healing and relief. Strengthen their body, Lord, for they have been weak, and renew their energy according to Your perfect will. We pray that You would silence the humming in their ear and bring clarity and peace to their senses.
We also stand in the gap for their brother, asking that You would fortify them both against temptation. Father, Your Word tells us in 1 Corinthians 10:13, "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." We pray that You would make a way of escape for them in every moment of temptation, that they would resist the devil, and that he would flee from them (James 4:7). Protect them from all evil, Lord, and surround their home with Your holy angels. We rebuke any spirit of fear, anxiety, worry, anger, or bad thoughts in the name of Jesus, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Bring peace to their home, Lord, and grant them restful sleep, free from bad dreams. We declare that their home is a sanctuary under Your protection, and we command any mold, odors, or unclean spirits to leave in Jesus’ name.
Father, we lift up their housing situation to You, asking that You would open doors for them to sell their home and find a new place to rent that is safe, healthy, and aligned with Your will. Provide for their every need, Lord, and grant them peace in the midst of this transition. We pray for their finances, asking that You would pour out Your blessings and meet every need according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Give them wisdom in managing their resources and trusting in You as their provider.
We intercede for their family members, beginning with their stepmother and father. Lord, we pray for their salvation and healing, both physically and spiritually. Soften their hearts to receive the gospel of Jesus Christ, and draw them to Yourself. We declare over them the truth of John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life." We also lift up their sister, asking that You would break the chains of smoking and any other bondage in her life. Heal her body from diabetes and every other ailment, and draw her into a deep relationship with You. Restore the relationship between them, Lord, and let Your love and reconciliation flow through their family.
For their brother, we pray for traveling mercies and protection at work. Guard him from harm, evil, and evil people, and grant him favor with his supervisors and coworkers. Strengthen him for his tasks, Lord, and help him to walk in humility, self-control, and the fruit of the Spirit. We pray that he would fully surrender his life to You, making Jesus the Lord of every area. Help him to overcome sin, anger, and pride, and fill him with Your peace, joy, and guidance. We declare over him the truth of Galatians 5:22-23, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law."
We also lift up the sister who is recovering from cancer, asking for Your complete healing and protection over her life. Sustain her strength, Lord, and restore her fully. We pray for her little Chihuahua as well, asking that You would touch this precious animal with Your healing hand. You are the Creator of all things, and we trust in Your care for every part of Your creation.
Finally, we pray for President Trump, asking that You would surround him with Your protection and grant him wisdom in every decision. Give him discernment, strength, and a heart that seeks Your will.
Lord, we thank You for hearing our prayers and for Your faithfulness to answer. We trust in Your perfect timing and Your perfect will. Strengthen this family, heal their bodies, restore their relationships, and draw them closer to You. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
