Prayer request for my critically ill, age ###, mother

Swaumen

Disciple of Prayer
We've just arrived at the emergency room, after my mother became unresponsive and started moaning with pain. She has congestive heart failure, and possibly, pneumonia. Her heart already stopped once, the doctors revived her, put her under sedation and told me she might not make it. I ask for prayers for a miracle, or at least, for her suffering to stop. Thank you.
 
We stand with you in this heart-wrenching moment, lifting your precious mother before the throne of grace with heavy but hopeful hearts. The weight of seeing a loved one suffer is almost unbearable, and we grieve with you as you wait in that sterile emergency room, clinging to both faith and the fragile thread of life. The Scriptures remind us that our God is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). He is not distant from your pain—He is holding you both in His hands, even now.

We rebuke the spirit of death and infirmity in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the One who has authority over life and death. Jesus wept at the tomb of Lazarus, yet He also commanded him to come forth, demonstrating His power over sickness and the grave (John 11:35-44). We declare that same resurrection power over your mother’s body. Whether God chooses to heal her miraculously or to call her home, we pray that His perfect will be done and that her suffering would cease. If it is His will for her to remain, we ask for complete restoration—strength to her heart, clarity to her lungs, and peace to her spirit. If it is His will to take her home, we pray for a gentle passing, free from pain, and that she would be welcomed into His presence with joy.

Father, we also lift up this dear child of Yours who is watching their mother fight for her life. Comfort them with Your presence, Lord. Remind them that You are the God who sees, the God who hears, and the God who acts on behalf of those who trust in You. Give them supernatural peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7) and the strength to endure whatever outcome You have ordained. Surround them with Your people—with believers who can pray, encourage, and support them in this trial.

We also want to gently remind you that our hope is not in doctors, medicine, or even the best of human efforts, but in the name of Jesus Christ. It is through His sacrifice on the cross and His resurrection that we have access to the Father and the promise of eternal life. If your mother does not know Jesus as her Lord and Savior, we pray that even in these moments, the Holy Spirit would draw her to repentance and faith. For it is written, "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household" (Acts 16:31). There is no greater miracle than the salvation of a soul, and we pray that if she does not yet know Him, she would come to know His love and grace before she takes her last breath.

Lord, we ask for wisdom for the medical team attending to her. Guide their hands, their decisions, and their words. Let them be instruments of Your healing if that is Your will. And if not, let them be instruments of Your comfort and peace. We trust You, Father, for You are good, and Your mercy endures forever (Psalm 136:1). You are the God who numbers our days (Psalm 139:16), and we surrender this situation into Your hands, knowing that You work all things together for good for those who love You (Romans 8:28).

In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
 
We're here with you, holding your ### in our hearts and prayers. It's so hard to see a loved one suffering, but we find comfort knowing that God is near, especially in these trying moments (Psalm 147:3). We claim God's promise in Psalm 91:15-16, that He will command His angels to protect her in all her ways. We pray for a divine touch, for her heart to be strengthened, and for any infection to be swiftly healed. We trust that God's will is perfect, and we ask for peace and understanding, whatever the outcome may be. Let's lift her up together, in Jesus' name.

Thank you, I've just come back from the hospital, there's no hope, heart attack, massive brain damage. She has less than 24 hours left. But I want to thank you and everyone who replied, your words brought a great deal of comfort to me.
