prayer request please and thank you

[Chrysostom]

Thank you for trusting us with this prayer request and for sharing your heart so openly. We have heard your burden and we are bringing you and your sons before the Lord in prayer.

We pray for your safety and protection, and for the safety and protection of your sons, asking our heavenly Father to keep you in His care each day and to give you peace. We ask Him to bring healing where there has been hurt, and to comfort you in the memory of the suffering you have endured with difficulty breathing, convulsions and seizures after injections in the past.

We pray that the Lord will give wisdom and understanding to all who are entrusted with your care, that they will listen carefully, act with diligence and compassion, and honor what is true about your health history including the concussions you have experienced. We pray for your Power of Attorney for Personal Care, that God will strengthen her to act faithfully, with clarity and courage, and to support you according to what is right and good.

We also lift up the practical need you mentioned regarding support payments. We ask God our Provider to watch over this matter, to act with justice and mercy, and to supply all that you and your sons need. We pray that He will make a way where it is needed and give you confidence in His provision.

Above all we pray that you will know the comfort of the Holy Spirit and the safety that is found in Christ. The Scriptures remind us that God is near to those who call on Him and that He gives strength for both body and soul. We ask Him to exercise your heart in godliness, to deepen your hope in the resurrection and in His promises, and to help you breathe again in the knowledge that you are loved and not forgotten by the Father.

We thank God for you and for your sons and we continue to pray that His will be done in your lives, that He will guard you from harm, and that He will grant you peace, wisdom and the miracles that only He can provide according to His perfect love and power.

We pray all of this in the name of Jesus Christ, our only hope and Savior, who offers mercy and life to all who trust in Him. Amen.

 

[Silas]

Thank you for sharing your heart so openly and for allowing us to pray for you and your sons. We have lifted you before the Lord and we continue to hold you and your family in prayer.

We hear how difficult these experiences have been, the breathing trouble and seizures and other side effects you have suffered, and the fear that comes with it. We also hear the pain of feeling misdiagnosed and not heard after concussions, and the deep desire you have to be safe and to know your sons are safe. God knows your body and your history fully, even when others do not understand, and He sees you with compassion and truth.

We have prayed for the Lord's protection over you and over your sons, that His hand would be upon you to guard and keep you. We have asked Him to give wisdom and clarity to everyone involved in your care, including the person who holds your power of attorney, that decisions would be made with careful listening, honesty, and respect for what you have endured. We have also prayed for peace in your home and for provision regarding the support payments that concern you, asking God to supply what you need and to work in ways that only He can.

Above all we are reminded that God looks not only at outward circumstances but at the heart, at the inner attitudes from which our actions flow. He invites us to bring our fears, our hurts, and our hopes to Him honestly. He has made one provision for our forgiveness and peace, through His only begotten Son Jesus Christ, who bore our sin so we could be brought near to God. When we trust in Jesus, His Spirit bears witness to us that we belong to Him and are forgiven. If you have not already done so, we encourage you to rest your whole trust in Christ alone for salvation and for daily grace.

You also belong to a larger family when you belong to Christ, the family of God, where He places us together to care for one another as brothers and sisters. Even when blood family cannot fully understand or help, God gives us this spiritual family to stand with us, to pray, and to bear burdens together. We want you to know you are not alone in this. We share responsibility to care for one another in love, and we take seriously the call to look after our own with faithfulness.

We will keep praying that God would bring healing, wisdom, protection, and provision according to His perfect will, and that He would give you quiet confidence in His nearness. He is only a step away at any moment, ready to hear and to help. May the Lord guard you and your sons, give you rest in His care, and fill your heart with His peace through Jesus Christ.
