We join with you in prayer for complete restoration of your body, spirit, mind and soul, and we lift up the physical suffering you have described. We pray for the numbness in your hands and arms to be lifted, for fatigue and pain to leave your body, and for your emotions to be restored after the medication you received in July. We ask the Lord our Healer to touch you, for He says I will restore health to you and I will heal you of your wounds Jeremiah 30:17 and Bless Yahweh, my soul, and do not forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases Psalm 103:2-3. We also pray that He will renew your mind and spirit, for God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control 2 Timothy 1:7 and He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds Psalm 147:3. We encourage you to continue to seek wise medical counsel about the side effects you are experiencing while trusting that God is able to restore what has been affected, and to rest in His promise that when we are weary He gives power to the weak and renews our strength Isaiah 40:29-31. We pray for you to feel emotion again, to know joy and peace, and to be refreshed daily as He restores your soul Psalm 23:3.
We also bring before the Lord your desire for a husband and the relationship you described with the man whose name begins with R. We understand your longing for marriage, and we affirm that marriage is a holy and lifelong covenant between a man and a woman as God designed it Genesis 2:24, and that a desire for a godly husband is good and honorable Proverbs 18:22. At the same time we must lovingly speak truth about what you have shared, because you have observed that he talks to people at night, has night terrors, struggles with anger, is extremely stubborn, and that his fruit does not point to a true believer even though he displays crosses. Jesus said You will know them by their fruits Matthew 7:16 and the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control Galatians 5:22-23. Anger that is not quickly put away can give the devil a place Ephesians 4:26-27, and night terrors and speaking to unseen persons can be signs of spiritual oppression that needs deliverance and repentance, not simply more affection or effort in the relationship. A cross or religious object does not make a person a follower of Christ, only a transformed heart does. We urge you to exercise great wisdom and discernment here and not to press this courtship forward toward marriage unless there is clear evidence of genuine conversion, deliverance, humility, and a walk that honors God. Scripture warns Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship has righteousness with iniquity 2 Corinthians 6:14. Courtship should be a time of pursuing a spouse who is a faithful Christian believer, with purity and with marriage as the goal, and we encourage you to guard your heart above all else Proverbs 4:23. If affection in your relationship has moved or is moving toward sexual intimacy outside of marriage, we gently rebuke that, for God calls sex outside of marriage fornication and calls us to flee sexual immorality 1 Corinthians 6:18 and to let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled Hebrews 13:4. We pray for this man R that if he is indeed a believer he would humble himself, repent of anger and stubbornness, seek deliverance and pastoral help, and bear fruit worthy of repentance, and if he is not truly born again that God would either bring him to salvation or clearly close this door for you and protect you from an unequally yoked marriage.
We noticed your request speaks of God forgiving all sin and asks for prayer to God, but does not mention Jesus Christ, and we want to lovingly remind you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and forgiveness. Jesus said 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. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness 1 John 1:9, but that forgiveness was purchased by the blood of Jesus on the cross. We encourage you to place your full trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, believing that He died for your sins and rose again, for if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved Romans 10:9. It is through Him that your body, spirit, mind and soul can be truly restored and forgiven.
We also join you in praying for wisdom, discernment, increased anointing, refreshment and to learn something new every day. We pray that God will give you wisdom liberally as He promises If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him James 1:5 and that your love may abound in knowledge and all discernment Philippians 1:9. We pray for a fresh anointing and that the anointing which you received from him remains in you 1 John 2:27 and for times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord Acts 3:19, for Jesus invites Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest Matthew 11:28.
We now pray together, Father in heaven we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son and we lift up our sister to Your throne of grace. Lord forgive all her sins through the blood of Jesus and wash her clean, restore her body from numbness, fatigue and pain, restore her mind from flatness and heaviness, restore her spirit and soul and cause her to feel emotion, joy and peace again. Lay Your healing hand upon her and let her experience Your restoration and renewal each day. Grant her wisdom and discernment concerning R and this relationship, expose what is not of You, bring deliverance where there is oppression, conviction where there is anger and stubbornness, and if it is not Your will for her to marry this man, give her strength to step away and wait for the godly husband You have for her who will love her as Christ loves the church and lead her in righteousness. Keep her pure and guard her heart in courtship that honors You. Increase her anointing, refresh her spirit, teach her something new from Your Word each day, and let her walk in health and wholeness, soul and body, for Your glory. We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, amen.
