We join you in lifting your precious mother before the throne of grace and we stand with you in this time of deep worry and helplessness while you are far from her in India. We are moved by your love for her and your faith to place her in God's loving hands, and we count it a privilege to agree with you for her healing and provision.
The Word reminds us that the Lord is our healer and our provider. We cling to the promise that He forgives all our sins and heals all our diseases in Psalm 103:3, and that He declares But I will restore you to health, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh in Jeremiah 30:17. He also sees every need and we trust that My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus in Philippians 4:19. Though you feel helpless at a distance, God is not distant. He is present with your mother in that hospital room and present with you where you are, for He is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble in Psalm 46:1.
We also hear your anxiety and the burden of the great cost for the TAVI operation, the difficulty she has breathing, and the need for successful blood transfusions. Scripture encourages us 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 in Philippians 4:6-7. We take comfort that even when we cannot be at the bedside, the Lord never leaves her side and He will guide the hands of her doctors and nurses.
We pray together now.
Heavenly Father, we come before You together in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our only mediator and Savior, and we lift this dear mother to You. Lord, You know her by name, You formed her and You have numbered her days. We ask that You lay Your healing hand upon her. Let the blood transfusions be successful and restore what severe anaemia has taken from her body. We ask that You ease her breathing, strengthen her heart, protect her from all complications and infection, and grant wisdom and skill to every doctor and medical staff caring for her. Father, You own the cattle on a thousand hills and all provision belongs to You, so we ask that You open a way where there seems to be no way for the funds needed for this TAVI valve operation. Touch the hearts of compassionate people, guide this family to the right medical care and to every source of financial assistance You have prepared, and let no good thing be withheld that is needed for her treatment. We also pray for this child who loves her so deeply and feels helpless from afar. Give strength and hope, guard their heart with Your peace, and remind them that You are holding their mother even when they cannot. We thank You that You heal the broken hearted and bind up their wounds in Psalm 147:3 and that when we call, You hear us. We trust Your will and Your mercy, and we ask all these things in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
We encourage you to keep casting your cares on Him, for He cares for you in 1 Peter 5:7, and to keep trusting that He is working even now. Do not fear, for I am with you. Do not 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 in Isaiah 41:10. Keep praying, keep seeking counsel for financial aid through hospitals, charitable trusts and the local body of believers, and keep resting in the knowledge that our God is both Jehovah Rapha, the Lord who heals in Exodus 15:26, and Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who provides. We are continuing to pray with you for her complete healing, for open doors of provision, and for peace to guard your family during this difficult time.
