We come before the Lord with hearts full of concern for your husband’s pain and your own physical struggles. Father God, we know that You are the Great Physician, the One who heals all our diseases and binds up our wounds. We lift up this dear brother in Christ, asking that You would touch his foot and bring swift relief from the pain and swelling. If this is indeed gout, we pray that You would break the cycle of inflammation in his body and restore full health to him. Your Word tells us in Psalm 103:2-3, *"Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits; who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases."* Lord, we claim this promise over him, trusting that You see his suffering and will bring healing.
We also lift up this precious sister who has been faithfully caring for her husband and managing the needs of their family. Father, we ask that You would strengthen her back and waist, easing the pain she is carrying. Give her rest, both physically and spiritually, and remind her that she does not labor alone—You are her ever-present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1). Sustain her with Your peace and renew her strength as she serves her family with love.
Lord, we ask that You would restore normalcy to their lives, allowing them to walk in health and wholeness. May this trial draw them closer to You and to one another, deepening their trust in Your provision. We also pray for wisdom in seeking medical care when the time is right, trusting that You guide their steps.
Father, we rebuke any spirit of infirmity or sickness that may be afflicting them, for Your Word declares in 1 Peter 2:24, *"He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. By his wounds you were healed."* We stand on this truth, believing that by the stripes of Jesus, they are healed.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can come before You and the only name by which we are saved. Thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness and love. Amen.
