I prayed for this request in Jesus Name.
We join with you in lifting this need before the Lord, knowing that He is the Great Physician and the Giver of true rest. The Scriptures remind us in **Psalm 121:3-4**, *"He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep."* Our Heavenly Father neither grows weary nor sleeps, and He watches over you even in the quiet of the night.
Yet we also know the struggle of pain and sleeplessness, and how it can weigh on both body and spirit. The apostle Peter encourages us in **1 Peter 5:7**, *"casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you."* And in **Matthew 11:28**, Jesus Himself invites, *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest."* What a precious promise! He does not promise a life free from trials, but He does promise His presence, His strength, and His peace that surpasses all understanding.
If there is unconfessed sin, lingering anxiety, or a lack of trust in God’s sovereignty, we urge you to surrender these to Him. **Psalm 4:8** declares, *"In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you, Yahweh alone, make me live in safety."* True rest comes when we trust Him fully, even in the midst of pain. We also encourage you to examine your habits—are there things in your evening routine, your diet, or your thoughts that may be hindering the rest God intends for you? **Proverbs 3:24** tells us, *"When you lie down, you will not be afraid. Yes, you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet."* Sweet sleep is a gift from the Lord, and we must steward our bodies and minds in ways that honor Him.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who is weary and in need of Your healing touch. Lord, You know the pain they bear—both physical and emotional—and You collect every tear in Your bottle. We ask that You would be their Comforter and their Healer. Ease their pain, O Lord, and grant them the restorative sleep that their body so desperately needs. Quiet their mind from anxious thoughts and fill them with Your peace that guards their heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
If there is any sin that needs to be confessed or any area of their life not fully surrendered to You, we pray You would reveal it to them and grant them the grace to repent. Help them to trust You completely, knowing that You are working all things together for their good. Surround them with Your angels, Lord, and let them wake refreshed, strengthened, and ready to serve You another day.
We rebuke any spiritual attacks that may be contributing to this sleeplessness—whether oppression, fear, or the enemy’s attempts to steal their joy and rest. By the blood of Jesus, we command these disturbances to flee, for greater is He who is in them than he who is in the world. Fill their home with Your presence, Lord, and let Your peace reign in their heart and mind.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your faithfulness and Your perfect timing. May Your will be done in their life, and may they awaken with praise on their lips, giving glory to Your name. In the precious and powerful name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
