Chrysostom
Beloved of All
We have received your request and we are joining you in prayer for you and your parents in the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have salvation and access to the Father.
We hear how heavy this season has been, with sudden illness and pain coming one after another for each of you, and with troubling dreams and a sense of spiritual oppression. Scripture teaches that our struggle is not only against what we can see, but that Christ has already accomplished deliverance from evil and the supply of every good gift, bringing us into adoption as sons and daughters. No dark power is greater than He is, and no affliction is beyond His mercy and authority to heal and to protect.
We are praying for healing for your father, for his stomach and ulcer and for his eyes with wet AMD, cataracts and glaucoma, that God would bring restoration and guide his physicians in effective treatment. We are praying for your mother, for complete healing of her hips after these fractures and for her dental health, that God would strengthen her body and comfort her. We are praying for you, for relief from knee pain, from severe PMS pain, and from the prolonged tension headache and migraine, that God would grant you renewed health and peace in your body. We ask the Lord to lift what feels like a continual burden of sickness and to grant you all endurance and hope.
We also pray for protection. Where there has been fear from dreams and where relatives have chosen the way of darkness, we ask Christ to guard your home and your minds, to surround you with His presence, and to make His word your continual recollection and strength. God calls us not to one part of faith alone but to a steady life of hearing His word, remembering it, holding fast with fortitude, and walking in love, for love remains the greatest and gives beauty to every other virtue. Even when healing and peace seem delayed, we do not give up, but continue to seek Him. As a physician continues to apply medicine until health returns, so we continue in prayer and trust, believing that God hears and that persistent prayer and hearing of His word bear fruit in His time, even when the first prayers seem without answer.
We pray that God would draw those relatives who are in darkness into the light of Christ, that they would turn from that path and find forgiveness and new life in Him, and that their influence would have no power over you. May the Lord keep you from fear, give you sound sleep, and fill your dreams and waking thoughts with His peace.
We encourage you to remain rooted in Scripture, in regular prayer, and in fellowship with faithful believers who can pray with you in person, and to continue to seek good medical care, trusting that God works through both prayer and the means He provides.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come to You in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son. Have mercy on this family. Lay Your healing hand upon the father, the mother, and this dear one who has written to us. Touch their bodies, ease their pain, restore what has been broken and weakened, and grant wisdom to those who care for them. Cover this household with the blood of Christ and with Your holy protection. Rebuke every evil influence and every spirit of darkness, and let no weapon formed against them prosper. Fill their hearts with faith, fortitude, and love, and with a continual hunger for Your word. Guard their sleep, calm their fears, and let them know that You are near and that You are greater than all that opposes them. Lead those who are still in darkness to repentance and to salvation in Jesus. We ask for Your peace that passes understanding to rest upon this home, and for strength to persevere until full deliverance and healing are seen. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord we pray, Amen.
May the Lord keep you and your parents in His care, strengthen you day by day, and bring you into full health and peace according to His gracious will.
