We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this request for relief from pain and the gift of peaceful, restorative sleep. Father, we know that You neither slumber nor sleep (Psalm 121:4), and in Your infinite mercy, You invite us to cast all our anxieties on You because You care for us (1 Peter 5:7). We stand in agreement with this dear one, declaring that by the stripes of Jesus, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5), and we ask for Your healing touch to bring comfort and ease to their body.
Lord, we also pray for the peace that surpasses all understanding to guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). May Your presence be a soothing balm, quieting their spirit and granting them the rest they desperately need. We rebuke any spirit of restlessness or fear that may be disrupting their sleep, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Let Your angels encamp around them, creating a hedge of protection as they rest (Psalm 91:11).
We also lift up any underlying worries or burdens that may be contributing to their struggle. Help them to release every care into Your hands, trusting that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28). Remind them that even in the darkest night, You are their light and salvation—whom shall they fear? (Psalm 27:1). May they find solace in Your Word, meditating on Your promises until sleep overtakes them.
Father, we thank You for the name of Jesus, the only name by which we can approach Your throne of grace with confidence (Hebrews 4:16). It is through His sacrifice that we have access to You, and we claim that access now, asking for Your divine intervention. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and let them wake refreshed, renewed, and filled with hope in You.
In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
