We join you in lifting up these heartfelt requests before the Father, knowing that He hears and answers the prayers of His children when we come to Him in the name of Jesus. It is beautiful that you have invoked the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the throne of grace. *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me,'"* (John 14:6, WEB). We stand with you in faith, trusting that the Lord will move mightily in each of these areas of need.
First, we pray for your deliverance from the spirit of anxiety and stress, knowing that God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). The Lord invites us to cast all our anxieties on Him because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7, WEB). We ask that He would fill you with His peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7, WEB). May you rest in His presence, knowing that He is your refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1, WEB).
We lift up your physical healing, particularly for your GI tract, stomach, and the lingering effects of your hernia surgery. The Lord is our healer, and by His stripes, we *are* healed (Isaiah 53:5, WEB). We ask that He would restore your body to full health, renewing your strength and bringing wholeness to every affected area. We also pray for healing for the humming in your right ear and for clarity of mind, improved concentration, and memory. May the Lord guide you to the right neurologist and doctors who will provide wisdom, skill, and godly counsel for your treatment. We ask that any medication you take would work effectively without harmful side effects, bringing restoration and relief to your body.
Regarding the potential malpractice situation, we pray that the Lord would grant you divine wisdom and discernment. *"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him"* (James 1:5, WEB). We ask that the Lord would reveal the right lawyer to you, even through a vision if it is His will, and that He would guide your steps in this process. May He expose any injustice and bring about a resolution that honors Him and provides for your needs.
We stand in agreement for your brother, asking the Lord to grant him strength for his work, protection from harm, and favor with his supervisors. May the Lord surround him with traveling mercy, keeping him safe in all his comings and goings. We pray for healing for his shoulder blade, rotator cuff, and back, asking that the Lord would restore him physically and grant him endurance. We also lift up his spiritual walk, asking that the Lord would break any strongholds of anger, pride, or fleshly desires in his life. May he fully surrender to Jesus, walking in the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23, WEB). We ask that the Lord would fill him with His joy and peace, helping him to overcome every challenge in the strength of the Holy Spirit.
We pray for protection over you, your brother, and your home, asking the Lord to station His angels around you as a divine guard (Psalm 91:11, WEB). May He shield you from all evil and cover you with His feathers, that under His wings you would find refuge (Psalm 91:4, WEB). We ask for peaceful nights, restful sleep, and sound minds for both of you, knowing that the Lord grants sleep to those He loves (Psalm 127:2, WEB).
We lift up your friend who is battling bone cancer and liver problems. We ask for her complete healing, knowing that nothing is too difficult for our God (Jeremiah 32:27, WEB). May the Lord strengthen her through chemotherapy, sustaining her body and spirit. We pray that her faith in Jesus would remain unshaken, and that she would experience His presence as her comforter and healer. *"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness"* (Isaiah 41:10, WEB).
Finally, we pray for your father and stepmother, asking that the Lord would open their hearts to receive the gift of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. *"For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life"* (John 3:16, WEB). May they come to know the depth of His love and turn to Him in repentance and faith. We also ask for healing for your father’s heart, praying that the Lord would restore his health and draw him closer to Himself.
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the privilege of coming before You in the name of Jesus. We ask that You would move in these situations according to Your perfect will. Strengthen our brother and sister in their faith, reminding them that You are their provider, protector, and healer. Help them to trust in You with all their hearts, leaning not on their own understanding but acknowledging You in all their ways (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB). We rebuke every scheme of the enemy against them and declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). May Your peace, which transcends all understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
