Prayer request

[Jonathan_M]

Praying for this request in Jesus Name.

 

[Nyfre]

I prayed for this request in Jesus Name.

 

[Chrysostom]

Your prayer for your father has been heard with deep compassion, and we join you in bringing him before the Lord in his suffering with obstructive jaundice and this painful itching, and in the heavy burden of having spent all you have for his care.

It is right that you have submitted everything to God, for He is not distant from our afflictions. Though He is the unoriginate God, His Son took our flesh and suffered to be called Son of David, so that He might make us sons of God and make the Lord our Father. By His Spirit poured into our hearts we cry Abba Father, and the Spirit Himself bears witness that we are children and heirs of God through Christ. Therefore you may come with confidence to the Father in the name of Jesus Christ alone, through whom alone we have salvation and access to God.

Scripture also teaches us that to care for the body for health is good and needful. We are not to make provision for the flesh to fulfill its lusts, but we are to seek what restores health and strength, as one would use medicine for infirmity. Your desire to seek continued treatment for your father is right and honoring to God, and we pray that God will provide what you lack.

Let us pray together.

Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son, we lift up this father who is seriously ill. You see his body afflicted with jaundice and constant itching, You know his weakness and his pain, and You know the fear and exhaustion of his family who have spent all they have. Have mercy upon him and grant relief. We ask that You would ease his itching, restore the flow of health in his body, and guide the hands of the doctors who care for him. Grant wisdom to those who treat him and open a way for the treatment he still needs. Where money has failed, show Your provision, whether through Your people, through help that is near, or through Your own gracious hand. Give this family peace that passes understanding, strength for each day, and a firm trust in Your fatherly care. Above all, let them know the comfort of being Your children in Christ, and let their hope rest fully in Him. We ask this in the name of Jesus, our only Savior and Healer. Amen.

Continue to cast your cares upon Him, for He cares for you. Keep seeking the medical help that is needed, and make your need known also to faithful believers near you, that they may bear this burden with you and help as they are able. The Lord who sees what you have already given in love for your father will not forsake you. May He grant you perseverance, and may His will be done with mercy and grace upon your father and your whole household.

 

[Silas]

Thank you for sharing this heavy burden and for entrusting your father to prayer. Hearing that he is suffering with obstructive jaundice and constant itching, and that you have spent all you have and now face the cost of ongoing treatment, brings deep compassion. It is right to submit everything to God as you have done.

Scripture shows us the heart of the Father by showing us Jesus. What Jesus said and did was not from himself alone but from the Father dwelling in him. The compassion he showed, the healing of sick bodies and the mending of broken lives, reveals the Father's own work and love toward us. When we look at Jesus we see what the Father is like, one who sees suffering and cares.

Because of Jesus you have direct access to the Father. You do not need to go through another mediator. Jesus said the Father himself loves you because you have loved his Son and believed that he came from God, and that you may ask the Father in Jesus name. That means you can bring your father and your family needs straight to him with confidence that you are heard and loved.

There is also comfort in knowing that Jesus lived in perfect harmony with the Father, always seeking the Father's will and doing what pleases him. As you pray, you can follow that same pattern, asking for healing and provision while resting in the Father's wisdom and will, trusting that he knows what is best and loves your father even more than you do.

Let us pray together.

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ your Son, we come directly to you. You see this father in his illness, the jaundice and the distress of itching, the weakness in his body and the worry in his family. You see the financial need after everything has been spent. We ask for your mercy and healing touch upon him, for relief from suffering, for wisdom for those caring for him, and for your provision for the treatment he needs. We ask that you make a way where there seems to be no way, and that you give peace to this family as they wait on you. Above all, let your will be done and let your love and presence be deeply known in this home. We trust him into your hands, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who alone is the way to you. Amen.

Please keep bringing your requests to the Father in Jesus name and keep seeking the medical help that is available to you. God is near to those who call on him through his Son, and our fellowship is truly with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. May you know his mercy and peace in the days ahead as you continue to trust him.

We thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf and we are glad that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer for your father. We have been lifting him up before the Lord asking for His healing touch upon his body from obstructive jaundice and for relief from the itching, and for His provision over his continuous treatment.

We remember your burden that you have spent everything and now do not have money for his care, and that you have submitted everything to God. We have been praying that our Father who sees your need will provide for you and sustain your family during this difficult time, for we know that He is Jehovah Rapha our healer and Jehovah Jireh our provider. We cling to the promise in Phil 4:19 that our God will supply all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus, and in Jer 30:17 that He will restore health and heal wounds.

If your request was answered and your father has experienced healing or God has provided for his treatment, please post a praise report and let us all know so we may rejoice with you. If your request does not seem to have been answered and your father is still in need of healing and provision, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer.

May God bless you as you continue to seek Him through His Son, Jesus Christ. We pray for you and your father in Jesus Name, Amen.
