We join with you in bringing all of these heavy burdens before the throne of grace in Jesus' name, and we lift you up together as a family before our Heavenly Father.
We hear your cry for your head and your health, for the swelling to go down and for healing in your body. We pray that you will also seek wise medical care, for God often works through the hands of physicians and we are called to steward the bodies He has given us. Scripture reminds us that He is our healer, who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases Psalm 103:3, and by His wounds we are healed Isaiah 53:5. He has promised, I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds Jeremiah 30:17. We also hear your concern about a demonic attack in your body. We do not take this lightly, for our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age Ephesians 6:12, yet we rest in the truth that greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world 1 John 4:4. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control 2 Timothy 1:7, and when we submit ourselves to God and resist the devil, he will flee from us James 4:7. We rebuke any work of the enemy against you and stand on the authority we have in Christ.
We also lift up the marriage you mentioned and pray earnestly that divorce will not take place. We believe in the sanctity of marriage as a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman before God, for what God has joined together, let no man separate Mark 10:9, and a man will leave his father and his mother, and will be joined to his wife, and they will be one flesh Genesis 2:24. The Lord has said that He hates divorce Malachi 2:16 because it breaks covenant and wounds families. We pray that God will soften hearts, bring repentance where needed, restore love and forgiveness, and help this husband and wife to honor their vows and seek Him together.
We pray for the division in your family between your brother and your father and for the strain that has kept you apart. We understand how painful this is, especially as you long to have a good time together at Christmas and for your niece's dedication and to see your whole family united. We pray that God will bring reconciliation and unity, for we are called to be eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace Ephesians 4:3, bearing with one another and forgiving each other, just as Christ forgave us Colossians 3:13. If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men Romans 12:18. We pray that humble communication, forgiveness, and love will cover these hurts.
We bring before the Lord your financial need, your debt, your low bank balance and your need for work and provision. We pray for a miracle, and we know our God is able to provide abundantly, for our God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19. We pray also for wisdom and diligence in stewardship and work, that God will open doors for honest work and help you to walk in faithfulness, for whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord Colossians 3:23.
We noticed that in your request you spoke of God but did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we want to gently and lovingly remind you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6, and there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. If we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in our heart that God raised him from the dead, we will be saved Romans 10:9. It is by trusting in His death and resurrection for our sins that we are made right with God and our prayers are heard.
So together we pray, Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, and we lift up our dear one to You. Lord, touch this head and body, cause the swelling to go down, bring complete healing and health, and rebuke every attack of the enemy, let no weapon formed against this child of Yours prosper. Fill this body with Your peace and strength. Lord, we place this marriage in Your hands, intervene with Your grace, heal what is broken, turn hearts back to You and to one another, and let divorce be turned away and covenant be restored. Father, bring unity to this family, heal the division between brother and father, pour out forgiveness and love, and let Christmas and this dedication be a time of joy and togetherness that brings glory to You. Lord, provide for every financial need, lift this debt, supply work and daily bread, and show Your miraculous hand so that there will be testimony of Your provision. Draw this dear one closer to Jesus, strengthen faith, and let Your will be done in every area. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, amen.
