We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting you up in prayer and standing with you in faith. Your burdens are great, but our God is greater, and His mercy endures forever. You are not alone in this struggle—we stand with you, interceding on your behalf, believing that the Lord hears the cries of His children and moves mightily on their behalf.
First, we want to address your deep sense of unworthiness and fear that you are being punished. Beloved, hear the truth of God’s Word: *"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus"* (Romans 8:1). Your struggles are not a sign of God’s displeasure but an opportunity for His power to be made perfect in your weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). You are not a "filthy, dirty sinner" in the eyes of the Father—you are His beloved daughter, washed clean by the blood of Jesus. The enemy would love for you to believe the lie that your suffering is punishment, but Scripture tells us that God disciplines those He loves (Hebrews 12:6), and discipline is not the same as wrath. You are under His care, not His condemnation.
We rebuke the spirit of fear and despair that has tried to take root in your heart. The Lord has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). We declare healing over your body in the mighty name of Jesus. Your brain injury, your paralysis, and every physical limitation are subject to the authority of Christ, who bore our infirmities and carried our diseases (Isaiah 53:4-5). We pray for restoration of movement, sensation, and strength in your left side—your arm, hand, fingers, leg, ankle, and toes. We ask the Great Physician to touch you now, to rewire what has been damaged, and to bring full healing to your body. *"Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed; save me, and I will be saved, for You are the one I praise"* (Jeremiah 17:14).
We also lift up your daughter, the prodigal child who has strayed far from the path of righteousness. The pain of watching a child reject God’s ways is deep, but we take comfort in the parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-32), where the father never stopped watching for his child’s return. We pray that the Holy Spirit would convict her heart, break the chains of deception, and draw her back to the Father. We rebuke the spirits of rebellion, addiction, and deceit that have taken hold of her, and we declare that she will come to her senses, as the prodigal did, and return to the love and safety of her family and her Savior. *"For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found"* (Luke 15:24).
Your husband has carried a heavy load, and we pray for his strength, endurance, and peace. The Lord sees his faithfulness and will sustain him. We ask God to pour out His grace upon him, to give him moments of rest and renewal, and to surround him with a community of believers who can support him in this season. *"The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped"* (Psalm 28:7). We also pray for wisdom and provision as you navigate the challenges of daily life without the ability to drive. May the Lord open doors for transportation, assistance, and practical help, and may He provide opportunities for you to connect with others who can come alongside you.
Now, regarding your mother—this is a wound that runs deep, and we do not minimize the pain of abandonment, especially in a moment of such vulnerability. Forgiveness is not about excusing her actions or pretending the hurt did not happen; it is about releasing the bitterness and entrusting justice to God. You have already shown incredible grace by being willing to forgive, and we pray that the Lord would soften her heart and open a door for reconciliation. However, we must also caution you: restoration of the relationship may not look the way you hope. The Lord may choose to heal your heart without restoring the relationship itself, and that is okay. Your peace does not depend on her response but on your obedience to Christ. *"If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone"* (Romans 12:18). We pray that God would reveal her whereabouts if it is His will, but more importantly, we pray that He would heal the ache in your soul and fill you with His perfect love.
We also want to gently address your mention of being a "sinner" without explicitly acknowledging the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not already, we encourage you to place your trust fully in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, confessing your sins and believing in His death and resurrection for your forgiveness. *"If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9). This is the foundation of all healing—spiritual, emotional, and physical.
Let us pray together now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of compassion for our sister in Christ. Lord, You see her pain, her exhaustion, and her longing for healing and restoration. We ask You to move mightily in her life, to touch her body with Your healing hand, and to restore what has been lost. We declare that by the stripes of Jesus, she is healed (Isaiah 53:5), and we stand on Your promise that nothing is impossible for You (Luke 1:37).
Father, we lift up her daughter, who has wandered far from You. We ask that You would break the chains of sin in her life, soften her heart, and draw her back to You. Surround her with godly influences, and let her experience the depth of Your love in a way that compels her to return.
We pray for her husband, Lord. Strengthen him, encourage him, and remind him that his labor in You is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58). Provide for their needs, both practical and emotional, and surround them with a community of believers who can support them.
For her mother, Father, we ask that You would work in her heart. If it is Your will, bring reconciliation and restoration, but above all, bring healing to our sister’s heart. Help her to release any bitterness and to trust You with the outcome.
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of fear and despair that has tried to take hold of her. Remind her that she is Your beloved child, redeemed by the blood of Jesus, and that nothing can separate her from Your love (Romans 8:38-39). Fill her with Your peace, Your strength, and Your hope.
We thank You, Father, for Your faithfulness. We trust in Your perfect timing and Your perfect plan. May Your will be done in every area of her life, and may Your name be glorified through her testimony. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Beloved, do not lose heart. The God who parted the Red Sea, who raised Lazarus from the dead, and who conquered the grave is the same God who is at work in your life. He is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Keep your eyes on Him, and trust that He is making all things new. You are not forgotten, you are not abandoned, and you are deeply loved.
for me. I was also abandoned by my mother who never showed up for me when I was in the intensive care unit so my husband has been alone in caring for me when I came off of life support unable to walk, move my arm, or see. 
Thank you in Jesus' Name
