We join you in lifting up your husband and you before our Heavenly Father, and we stand with you in declaring that Satan will not win, for greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world.
We are so encouraged to see your faith as you recognize this battle for what it is, a spiritual attack, and we agree with you that in Christ we have the victory. As it is written, Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7 and No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. Romans 8:37. We do not fight in our own strength, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds. 2 Corinthians 10:4.
We bring your husband's back pain before the Lord, who is our healer. He has carried this pain since his fall on the ice in January, and we ask for the Lord's merciful touch upon his spine, his nerves, and his muscles. We pray for relief from pain, for restoration, and for wisdom and discernment for the spine specialist he will see tomorrow. We pray that God will guide that doctor's eyes and hands and give clear answers and a good plan for healing. We remember the promise, Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don’t 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 also lift you up, for we hear your anxiety and we know our Father cares deeply about it. Anxiety is a heavy burden, but we are invited to lay it down. We pray the Lord will calm your heart and fill you with His perfect peace that guards your mind. In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7. We take comfort in knowing we can cast all our worries on him, because he cares for us. 1 Peter 5:7. The Lord says to you, 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. Isaiah 41:10.
We noticed your request did not mention the name of Jesus, and we want to gently remind you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and it is by His name that we pray and are saved. Jesus said to him, 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. It is because of what Jesus did on the cross, dying for our sins and rising again, that we can come boldly to God with our needs and know that Satan is already defeated. If you have not already, we encourage you to put your trust fully in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
We pray together now.
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before You and we thank You that You hear us. We lift up this dear husband to You and ask for Your healing hand upon his back. Ease his pain, Lord, restore what was injured in that fall, and let Your healing power flow through him. Give the spine specialist tomorrow great wisdom, clear insight, and compassion, and guide every decision for treatment. For our sister who is carrying anxiety, we ask You to rebuke the enemy's lies and attacks, and to pour out Your peace upon her. Let her feel Your presence, Your strength, and Your love holding her up. We declare that Satan has no authority here, and we resist him in Jesus' name. We trust Your good and perfect will for this family and we thank You in advance for Your mercy and care. In the mighty name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
