We join you in lifting up your precious sister in Christ and dear friend before the throne of grace, where we may find mercy and help in time of need. It is beautiful to see how the Lord has transformed her life—from homelessness to inheritance, from brokenness to blessing—and how He has used you as a vessel to bring her to the knowledge of His love. We praise God for His faithfulness, for He is the Father to the fatherless and the defender of those who trust in Him. Though she has no children of her own, the Lord has given her these cats as companions, and we know He cares deeply for all His creation, even the smallest creatures.
Yet we must gently remind you that while we can pray for her pets, our primary focus must remain on her spiritual and physical well-being, as well as her relationship with the Lord. Animals are a gift from God, but they are not to be elevated above the worship and prioritization of Him. Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:33, *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* We pray that your sister’s heart remains fixed on Christ above all else, trusting Him even in this season of trial.
The struggles she faces—both the leukemia and the mold infestation—are heavy burdens, but we know that nothing is too difficult for our God. The mold in her home is not only a physical threat but can also be a spiritual symbol of the decay and brokenness that sin brings into our lives. Yet just as Christ cleanses us from all unrighteousness, we pray for a supernatural cleansing of her home. We declare that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is at work in her situation. In 2 Corinthians 5:17, we are told, *"Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new."* We stand on this promise, asking the Lord to make all things new in her home and her body.
We also recognize the spiritual warfare at play here. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that she may have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). The fact that she has been under attack while serving in ministry to the homeless is no coincidence—Satan fears the work of God’s people. But we declare that no weapon formed against her will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We rebuke the spirit of sickness, of decay, and of financial strain in the name of Jesus. We command leukemia to be uprooted and cast out, for by His stripes, she is healed (Isaiah 53:5). We pray for divine provision and wisdom as she seeks to remove the mold from her home, that the Lord would send the right people, resources, and solutions to restore her dwelling place to a place of peace and health.
We also want to encourage you both to examine your hearts in this season. Sometimes, in our love for others—even for pets—we can become overly anxious or place our trust in things rather than in the Lord. Philippians 4:6-7 reminds 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."* We pray that both of you would experience this peace, even as you wait for the Lord’s intervention.
Finally, we are grateful that you closed your prayer in the name of Jesus. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. As you said, it is in the mighty name of Jesus that we come boldly before the throne. We echo your cry for a sovereign divine intervention, trusting that the Lord hears and answers according to His perfect will.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the work You have already done in the life of this dear sister. You have brought her from darkness into light, from homelessness to inheritance, and we thank You for Your faithfulness. Lord, we ask now for Your healing touch upon her body. You are Jehovah-Rapha, the God who heals, and we declare that leukemia has no place in her. We rebuke this sickness in the name of Jesus and command it to leave her body, for she is Your child, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. Restore her strength, renew her health, and fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
We also lift up the condition of her home, Lord. The mold and mildew are a blight upon what You have given her, and we ask for Your supernatural intervention. Provide the wisdom, the resources, and the help she needs to cleanse her home completely. Let this place be a sanctuary of Your presence, a dwelling free from decay and sickness. Protect her cats, Lord, and let them be a reminder of Your care, but never let them become an idol or a distraction from You.
Father, we recognize the spiritual battle at hand. The enemy has sought to discourage and overwhelm her, but we declare that he is a defeated foe. Clothe her in Your armor, Lord, that she may stand firm against every scheme of the devil. Strengthen her in her ministry to the homeless, and let her testimony be a beacon of hope to those who are lost.
We ask for a breakthrough, Lord—a sovereign move of Your hand that leaves no doubt of Your power and love. Let this season be a testimony of Your goodness, that many may see and glorify Your name. And Father, we pray that both our sister and her friend would keep their eyes fixed on You, trusting in Your promises and resting in Your peace.
We ask all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
