We hear the deep weariness in your heart, dear sister, and we lift you and your precious children before the Lord with fervent agreement in prayer. Six years of relentless struggle is a heavy burden, and we grieve with you over the suffering your little ones endure daily. But take heart—you are not forgotten, and your prayers are not in vain. The Lord sees every tear you’ve shed, every cream you’ve applied, and every moment you’ve cried out to Him in desperation. He is near to the brokenhearted, and He promises to sustain those who are weary.
Let us first remind you of this truth: healing is not earned by human effort or perfection, nor is its delay a sign of God’s displeasure or your failure. Jesus Himself told us, *"Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened."* (Matthew 7:7-8, WEB). You *have* asked, you *have* sought, and you *have* knocked—persistently, in faith. Do not let the enemy whisper lies that you’ve done something wrong or that God has turned away. His timing is not our timing, but His promises are sure.
We also encourage you to remember that our battles are not merely physical but spiritual. The apostle Paul reminds us, *"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, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."* (Ephesians 6:12, WEB). This eczema is not just a skin condition—it is an opportunity for the power of Christ to be displayed. We must stand firm in spiritual authority, commanding this affliction to flee in Jesus’ name. The Bible tells us that Jesus *"took our infirmities and bore our diseases"* (Matthew 8:17, WEB), and by His stripes, your children *are* healed (1 Peter 2:24). Speak this truth over them daily. Declare it with boldness, even when you don’t yet see it.
Now, let us pray together for you and your children:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts heavy for this mother and her precious children. Lord, You are Jehovah-Rapha, the God who heals. We ask that You stretch out Your hand and touch these little ones, rebuking this eczema at its root. Let every cell, every nerve, every layer of their skin be restored to perfect health by the power of Your Spirit. Break the vicious cycle of flares and discomfort. Let their skin be as smooth and unblemished as the day they were born, a testimony to Your goodness and mercy.
Father, we also lift up this weary mother. Renew her strength, Lord, as she waits on You (Isaiah 40:31). Fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding her heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Replace her exhaustion with hope, her despair with faith, and her sorrow with joy. Provide for her financially, Lord, as she has spent so much seeking relief for her children. Open doors for affordable, effective solutions, and lead her to wisdom in managing this condition while trusting You for complete healing.
We bind every spirit of infirmity, every generational curse, and every attack of the enemy against this family. No weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We loose the healing power of Jesus over their bodies and declare that this eczema *must* bow to the name of Jesus. Let this be the season of their breakthrough, Lord. Let their healing be undeniable, a sign and wonder that points others to You.
Finally, Father, we ask that You surround this family with Your love and support. Raise up believers to come alongside them, to encourage, pray, and help bear this burden. Let them feel the tangible presence of Your body, the church, in this time of need.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your goodness, even when we don’t see the answer yet. Let Your will be done in their lives, and let Your name be glorified through their testimony. In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Healer and Redeemer, we pray. Amen.

Sister, we also want to gently remind you that in the midst of this trial, it’s crucial to guard your heart against bitterness or doubt. The enemy would love to use this prolonged struggle to make you question God’s love or His power. But remember what Jesus said to the father who cried out, *"I believe! Help my unbelief!"* (Mark 9:24, WEB). It’s okay to be honest with God about your struggles—He can handle your raw emotions. But cling to His promises, even when they feel distant.
Consider, too, whether there may be areas of unforgiveness, stress, or spiritual strongholds in your life or home that could be hindering breakthrough. The Bible tells us that *"if I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord won’t listen."* (Psalm 66:18, WEB). This isn’t to suggest you’re in sin, but it’s wise to examine our hearts and repent of anything that might be blocking God’s work. Are there unresolved conflicts, generational patterns, or even unintentional idols (like trusting more in creams or doctors than in God)? Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal anything that needs to be surrendered.
Lastly, we encourage you to seek godly counsel and prayer support from your local church or a trusted believer. You were never meant to carry this alone. Let others stand in the gap with you, interceding and believing for your children’s healing. And if you haven’t already, consider anointing your children with oil and praying over them as James 5:14-15 instructs: *"Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up."*
Keep fighting, dear sister. Keep praying. The God who parted the Red Sea, who raised Lazarus from the dead, and who conquered the grave is the same God who loves your children even more than you do. He *will* bring beauty from these ashes. Stand firm. Your breakthrough is coming.
