We hear your heart in this request and we are standing with you in prayer together in Jesus' name for your loved one who is suffering with her heart and breathing and other health issues, and for your family as you walk through so much right now and feel like giving up.
We want to encourage you that God sees your worry and your weariness and He is near to you in it. Psalm 34:18 says The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Isaiah 41:10 says Don't you be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness. When you feel like giving up, God does not want you to carry this burden alone. Matthew 11:28 says Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. And Galatians 6:9 reminds us Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don't give up. The Lord knows the weight your family is carrying and He is our refuge when we feel overwhelmed, as Psalm 61:2 says When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
We also want to share that your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we want to gently remind you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and that our prayers are heard. John 14:6 says Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. Acts 4:12 says There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved. It is by putting our faith in Jesus, His death and resurrection for our sins, that we are saved and can come boldly to God in prayer. We encourage you to call on His name and trust Him not only for help in this trial but for eternal life.
We join together in prayer for you now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus Christ and we lift up this dear loved one to You who is struggling with her heart and breathing and other health afflictions. You are the Great Physician and we ask for Your healing hand upon her. Psalm 147:3 says He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. Jeremiah 30:17 says But I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says the LORD. We pray for her heart to be strengthened, for her breathing to be eased, for her body to be restored according to Your will, and for Your peace to guard her and her family. We pray for wisdom for her doctors and caregivers and for comfort for all who love her.
We also lift up this dear one who is interceding and their family who are going through so much. Lord, when they feel like giving up, be their strength. 2 Corinthians 12:9 says My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Pour out Your grace and sustaining power on them. Cast out fear and despair and fill them with hope, because Romans 15:13 says Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit. Help them to cast all their worries on You, for 1 Peter 5:7 says casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you. Remind them they are not alone and that You will never leave them nor forsake them.
We ask all of this in the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and our hope. Amen.
