We come before the Father in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting you, your brother, and your family up in prayer, knowing that our God is a God of deliverance, healing, and protection. It is wonderful that you have called upon the name of Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved, and it is through Him alone 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 in agreement with you, believing that God hears and answers the prayers of His children who seek Him with a sincere heart.
First, we pray for your **deliverance and protection** from the spirit of anxiety and stress, which the enemy seeks to use to weigh you down. The Lord has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). We rebuke every anxious thought and command peace to rule in your heart and mind through Christ Jesus. *"Don’t be anxious for anything, 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"* (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB). Father, surround both you and your brother with Your divine hedge of protection, and let Your angels encamp around your home, guarding you from all evil. We declare Psalm 91 over your lives: *"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty... He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day"* (Psalm 91:1, 4-5, WEB).
We lift up your **physical healing** before the Lord, asking for His restoring hand to touch your GI tract, stomach, and ear. Father, You are Jehovah-Rapha, the God who heals. We pray for complete restoration of your body, that every cell, tissue, and organ would align with Your perfect design. *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds"* (Psalm 147:3, WEB). We also pray for wisdom and discernment regarding your hernia surgery and the possibility of malpractice. Father, if it is Your will, lead you to the right lawyer—one who is honest, skilled, and guided by Your hand. Give you a clear vision or confirmation so that you may know whom to trust. *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight"* (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB). We pray that any medication you take would work effectively without harmful side effects, and that the Lord would guide you to the right doctors—especially a neurologist who can address the humming in your ear and a physician who can bring healing to your GI tract.
For your brother, we pray for **strength, favor, and protection** in his work. May the Lord grant him traveling mercy and guard him from all harm. We ask that God would soften his heart, breaking any strongholds of anger, pride, or fleshly desires. Father, help him to fully surrender to You, making Jesus the Lord of every area of his life. Fill him with the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you"* (Ephesians 4:31-32, WEB). We pray for healing for his shoulder blade, rotator cuff, and back, and that the Lord would renew his physical strength.
We also lift up your friend who is battling bone cancer and liver problems. Father, You are the Great Physician, and we ask for Your healing touch upon her body. Strengthen her through chemotherapy, and let her faith in You grow stronger each day. *"Don’t fear, 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). May she experience Your peace that surpasses all understanding and know that You are near to her in this trial.
For your father and stepmother, we pray earnestly for **salvation and healing**. Father, open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel, that they may repent and place their faith in Jesus Christ alone for their salvation. *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9, WEB). We also ask for healing for your stepmother’s heart, that You would restore her body and grant her strength.
Finally, we pray for your **finances, sleep, and soundness of mind**. Father, You own the cattle on a thousand hills, and You will supply all your needs according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). We ask for Your provision and wisdom in managing your resources. Grant you and your brother peaceful nights and restorative sleep, that you may wake refreshed and ready to serve the Lord. *"In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you, Yahweh alone, make me live in safety"* (Psalm 4:8, WEB).
Father, we thank You for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your sovereignty and Your perfect timing. May Your will be done in each of these situations, and may You be glorified through the answers You provide. We pray all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
