Prayer request

Beloved of All
Dear Lord, thank you for your goodness. I pray for good rest, for my wife’s cyst to dissolve and for health for her, for protection for ###, and against lustful thoughts.
 
We join you in giving thanks to the Lord for His goodness, for every good and perfect gift comes from above and we are grateful you have a thankful heart before Him as we are called to give thanks in all circumstances in 1 Thessalonians 5:18.

We lift up your request for good rest before the Father, for He gives sleep to His beloved in Psalm 127:2 and Jesus invites us to come to Him when we are weary and burdened and He will give us rest in Matthew 11:28. We pray the Lord will quiet your mind and body and grant you deep, peaceful and restorative sleep night after night.

We also bring your wife before the throne of grace and we honor your marriage, for marriage between a man and a woman is holy and ordained by God. We pray for her health and for this cyst to dissolve completely by the healing hand of our God, for He is the Lord who heals us in Exodus 15:26 and He promises I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds in Jeremiah 30:17 and who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases in Psalm 103:3. We ask the Great Physician to touch her body, to bring complete healing, peace and strength, and to guide any medical care with wisdom.

We pray for protection over your loved one whose name was redacted in your request, and we ask the Lord to keep this person under the shadow of His wings. We claim Psalm 91:1-2 that he who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty, and that the Lord will preserve from all evil and will keep your going out and your coming in in Psalm 121:7-8.

We hear your honest confession about lustful thoughts and we commend you for bringing this struggle into the light, for this is a battle every believer must fight. Scripture is clear that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart in Matthew 5:28. We are to flee sexual immorality in 1 Corinthians 6:18 and to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ in 2 Corinthians 10:5. Lust is not harmless, it is sin that must be repented of and forsaken, and within your marriage the Lord has given a holy and pure context for intimacy. We encourage you to flee from temptation as taught in 2 Timothy 2:22, to guard your eyes and your mind, to fill your thoughts with whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is pure in Philippians 4:8, and to seek accountability and to stay in the Word and in prayer daily so the Spirit can strengthen you to walk in purity.

We want to lovingly point out that your prayer was addressed to Lord but did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we want to remind you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father. Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me in John 14:6 and there is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved in Acts 4:12. It is by believing in Jesus, that He died for our sins and rose again, and confessing Him as Lord, that we are saved in Romans 10:9. We encourage you to always come in the name of Jesus, for in His name our prayers are heard.

We pray together now, Father in heaven we thank You for Your goodness and mercy that endures forever. We thank You for this brother, for his wife and for his loved one. In the name of Jesus Christ we ask You to grant him sweet and undisturbed rest, to lay Your healing hand upon his wife and cause this cyst to dissolve and to restore her to full health, to place a hedge of protection around his loved one and keep them from all harm and danger, and to cleanse his mind and heart from all lustful thoughts. Give him strength to flee temptation, to fix his eyes on You and to love his wife with purity and honor as Christ loves the church. Forgive us for our sins and create in us clean hearts. Help us to walk in holiness and to trust You in all things. We ask all this in the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ, amen.

We encourage you to continue to pray without ceasing, to dwell in the Word, to cherish your wife and your marriage as a picture of Christ's covenant, and to trust that God hears and will answer according to His perfect will.
 
We join you in thanking God for His goodness, and we are grateful you shared these burdens with us.

We hear how much you want to care well for your wife, for ###, and to walk faithfully before the Lord yourself. Wanting good rest, health for your wife, protection for someone you love, and freedom from lustful thoughts are all good and right things to bring to Him.

For your rest and for your wife's health, we will keep praying for healing and for peace as you wait. We encourage you to stay in close touch with your doctor about both the sleep and the cyst, sharing any changes you notice, alongside prayer and not instead of it. Sometimes it can help to keep a simple note of sleep patterns or symptoms to share at appointments.

For the struggle with lustful thoughts, you are not alone in facing this. It often helps not to carry it privately. Bringing it quickly to the Lord when the thought comes, guarding what you take in through eyes and screens, and having one trusted brother or pastor to be honest with can make the fight less isolating.

We are praying for you and for your wife and for ###.

Father, thank You for Your goodness to this family. We ask You to grant restful sleep, to bring healing and health to his wife according to Your will, to keep ### under Your protection, and to give our brother strength and a clear mind to turn from temptation and walk close to You. Lead him in Your peace and wisdom day by day. In Jesus' name, amen.
 
We join you in giving thanks to the Lord for His goodness, for every good and perfect gift comes down from the Father of lights.

We have carried your petitions to the throne of grace and pray with you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For good rest, we ask Him who gives His beloved sleep to grant you quiet, refreshing rest, to restore your body and spirit for His service.

For your wife, we entreat the great Physician of whom it is written that the Sun of Righteousness is risen with healing in His wings. There is abundance of healing power in Christ, not only His fruit but even the leaves of the tree of life are for the healing of the nations, and the least thing about Christ is healing virtue. We pray that in His mercy He would cause this cyst to dissolve and grant her full health and strength. As He once said to the man taken with palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee, and then made him whole, so we pray that healing and pardon would be known together in your house, and that you would see His healing hand at work.

For protection, we ask the Lord to keep you and those entrusted to your care, that the Evil One touch you not, and that you may be kept in all your ways as you walk in the way of holiness.

Against lustful thoughts we pray with you as our Lord taught us, Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Temptation in itself is perilous, though God may bring great benefit out of it when He tries us, and we must not desire to be tried nor go into temptation of our own choosing. We pray that you may be kept unspotted from the world, for charity and purity are the two great garments of Christianity, and without holiness no man shall see the Lord. May the Lord preserve you in purity and uprightness, and may the healing leaves of Christ change the life blood and make the nature new, so that you may watch and pray and be kept from the devices of the devil.

May the Lord hear according to His abundant mercy and give you peace in Christ. Amen.
