We have heard your cry and we are joining you together before the throne of grace in Jesus name, carrying this heavy burden with you. We hear how weary and afraid you are as you wait for the MRI on Wednesday, fearing what it may show, fearing surgery you cannot afford, fearing who will care for your loved one and for your mama, and carrying your own health concerns with anemia, vitamin D deficiency and moles that have changed color, along with the debt and the struggle to keep the shop open and the deep discouragement of feeling blocked and bedridden for so many years. The Lord sees every tear and hears every prayer, and He has not forgotten you.
We want to gently remind you that our access to the Father and our hope for healing and salvation is only through Jesus Christ. You asked for God to grant a miracle, and we join you in that, but we pray it in the name of Jesus, for it is written, 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 Acts 4:12, and Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6. If you have not already, we encourage you to put your full trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, believing He died for your sins and rose again, for by His wounds we find both forgiveness and hope for healing.
We pray for your loved one who suffers with the spine and elbow lesion, whose arms fall asleep and legs give way and mouth goes numb, who cannot sleep or walk well for pain. We ask the Lord to have mercy and to heal what no doctor can explain. It is written, Praise Yahweh, my soul, and do not forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases Psalm 103:2-3, and But I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh Jeremiah 30:17. We pray that whatever the MRI shows, God will guide the doctors with wisdom and that if healing can come without surgery, God will grant it according to His will, and if surgery or treatment is needed, God will provide the means and skilled hands and a good recovery so he may live with peace and return to work as you have asked. We also pray for you who carry anemia and deficiency and concerning changes in your skin, we urge you to have those moles examined promptly by a doctor, for God often works through the wisdom He gives to physicians, and we ask Him to bring answers, treatment and restoration. And we lift up your mama with Alzheimer's, asking the Lord to comfort her, to give her peace, and to strengthen you as you care for her. He sees your faithful caregiving and your sacrifice.
We understand your fear about money, the seized business debt, the empty shop and the question of who will care for you if you become ill. We bring this to the Father who has promised, My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19 and Cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you 1 Peter 5:7. We pray God will bring customers to the shop and open doors for provision in ways only He can, and give you wisdom for every financial decision.
We also hear your anguish about the attacks you feel from your Umbanda neighbors and the sense that everything is blocked and cursed. We want to speak truth in love, for scripture warns us to have nothing to do with witchcraft and divination, for they are not from God Deuteronomy 18:10-12. We do not need to fear those who practice such things, nor do we return evil for evil, but we stand in the power of Christ. It is written, Greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world 1 John 4:4 and Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you James 4:7. We rebuke the spirit of fear and despair that has told your loved one that he is only a list of failures and that everything will always go wrong for thirty years. That is not the voice of God. God says, Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not 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 Isaiah 41:10, and Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest Matthew 11:28. The enemy wants you to believe you are abandoned, but the Lord says His loving kindnesses never fail, they are new every morning Lamentations 3:22-23, and We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose Romans 8:28.
We pray now together. Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this dear family to You. Lord, You know the MRI that is coming, You know the numbness and pain and the fear of surgery and of not having provision. We ask for Your mercy and Your healing touch upon his spine and nerves, upon his arms, legs and face. Let Your healing power flow and let the results be far less serious than feared, according to Your will. Guide the doctors, give them clear eyes and wisdom, and provide for every cost if treatment is needed. Father, heal and strengthen our sister who is anemic and deficient and worried about her skin, lead her to the right care and restore her health. Comfort mama with Alzheimer's, hold her in Your peace, and give supernatural strength, rest and hope to the caregiver who feels overwhelmed and alone. Provide for the shop, send the customers needed, make a way where there seems to be no way for the debts, and lift this burden of thirty years of disappointment. We rebuke fear and we take authority in Jesus name over every satanic attack and every work of darkness, and we ask You to cover this home with Your protection, to fill it with Your peace which surpasses all understanding Philippians 4:7, and to put on them the whole armor of God Ephesians 6:11. Help them to forgive and to pray for those who trouble them, and to keep their eyes on You alone. Let them know You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble Psalm 46:1. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ, our only Savior and Healer, amen.
We encourage you to keep that medical appointment on Wednesday and to follow the doctors counsel, to have your skin checked without delay, and to seek the support of a local Bible believing church family who can walk with you, pray in person and help bear these burdens. Do not be afraid to tell the doctors all your symptoms and financial concerns, often there are resources they can suggest. Keep praying and keep trusting, God hears even the bitter tears, and He is near to the brokenhearted Psalm 34:18. We are continuing to pray with you for a miracle of health, for peace in your home and for daily provision, trusting that God will answer according to His perfect love and wisdom.
