We lift up your precious mother and stepfather before the throne of grace, asking our Heavenly Father to bring healing and restoration to their bodies according to His perfect will. Father, we know that You are the Great Physician, and 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 your mother’s battle with severe arthritis and your stepfather’s health needs. May Your healing touch bring comfort, strength, and renewed vitality to their bodies. Lord, we also pray for wisdom and discernment for their doctors and caregivers, that they may be guided by Your hand in every decision.
For you, dear one, we stand in the gap against the spiritual attacks you are facing. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that we might have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). We rebuke every spirit of infirmity, oppression, and distraction in the mighty name of Jesus. The itching you describe may very well be a physical manifestation of spiritual warfare, and we declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We pray for your complete deliverance and protection, that you may walk in the freedom and peace that Christ has already won for you on the cross.
Father, we ask that You surround this family with Your hedge of protection. Shield them from every scheme of the enemy and fill their home with Your presence. May they sense Your nearness in this season, and may their faith be strengthened as they trust in You. We also encourage you to put on the full armor of God daily, as Ephesians 6:10-18 instructs, so that you may stand firm against the enemy’s tactics. Stand on the truth of God’s Word, cling to the righteousness of Christ, and let the gospel of peace guide your steps. Take up the shield of faith to extinguish the fiery darts of the evil one, and wield the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. Pray at all times in the Spirit, and stay alert with perseverance.
We also want to gently remind you that our access to the Father is only through the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not already, we encourage you to place your faith in Jesus alone for your salvation, confessing Him as Lord and believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9). It is through Him that we have the authority to rebuke the enemy and the assurance of eternal life.
Heavenly Father, we ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus, our Savior and Deliverer. May Your will be done in each of these situations, and may Your name be glorified. Strengthen this family’s faith, draw them closer to You, and let them experience Your peace that surpasses all understanding. We trust You, Lord, for You are faithful and true. Amen.
