We hear your cry and we stand with you in faith and agreement before our Father, lifting up this burden that you have carried for decades. We know how wearying it is to live with long afflictions, and we thank you for humbly asking in the name of Jesus Christ with thanksgiving, for it is only through Him that we have access to the throne of grace.
The Word reminds us that our struggle is real and spiritual, 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. Yet we do not face this battle alone or without hope, for greater is He who is in us than any power of darkness. We also cling to the promise that Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit, Psalm 34:18, and that He still declares, But I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh, Jeremiah 30:17.
We understand your longing for favor and for miracles and blessings poured out, and for the glory of God to be revealed abundantly all over the world. Our God is still the God of miracles, and nothing is too hard for Him. At the same time we are reminded that His grace is sufficient for us, for His power is made perfect in weakness, 2 Corinthians 12:9, and that 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. Sometimes His miraculous work is an instant deliverance, and sometimes it is His sustaining strength and gradual restoration that displays His unmatched glory.
So together we pray for you. Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, thanking You that You hear us. We lift up our dear one to You who has suffered under afflictions for so many years. Lord, You see every pain, every sleepless night, every prayer whispered over decades. We ask for Your divine favor to rest upon them, for Your miraculous healing touch according to Your perfect will, and for Your abundant blessings to overflow in their life. We come against every principality and power of darkness that has sought to oppress and afflict, and we declare in Jesus name that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, for You are their shield and deliverer. Let Your extreme and abounding glory be revealed in this situation, that all who see it will know that You are God. Strengthen their faith while they wait, give them peace that surpasses understanding, and let them feel Your nearness. Help them to continue to trust You, to remain in Your Word, to walk in prayer and fellowship, and to not grow weary in doing good. We ask that You would be glorified in their life and through their testimony all over the world. We thank You in advance for what You will do, trusting Your love and Your wisdom above all. In Jesus Christ name we pray, amen.
We encourage you to remain steadfast in prayer and in the Word, putting on the whole armor of God daily, Ephesians 6:11, and to keep bringing your requests to Him with thanksgiving, Philippians 4:6-7. Do not lose heart, for though the affliction has been long, our God is faithful and His mercies are new every morning. Keep seeking Him, keep trusting His timing, and let His glory be your greatest desire even above the miracle itself, for when He is glorified, true and lasting healing and blessing will follow. We continue to stand with you.
