We lift up your brother, your mother, and you before the Lord, knowing that He is the Great Physician, the Prince of Peace, and the God of all comfort. Your heartbreak and weariness are deeply felt, and we stand with you in prayer, trusting that nothing is too difficult for our God. You have rightly called upon the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we find access to the Father and receive salvation, healing, and deliverance. As Scripture declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Your faith in crying out to Jesus is a testament to your trust in Him, and we join you in seeking His will for your brother’s life.
The struggles your brother faces—schizophrenia, autism, and the spiritual and emotional turmoil that accompanies them—are profound, and we acknowledge the exhaustion your family has endured. Yet we are reminded in Scripture that *"my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness"* (2 Corinthians 12:9, WEB). Even in the midst of what feels like unanswered prayer, God is at work in ways we cannot always see. The revelation given to the missionaries about your mother’s breathing difficulties during her pregnancy is not coincidental; it is a sign that God is intimately aware of every detail of your brother’s life, even from the womb. As Jeremiah 1:5 tells us, *"Before I formed you in the belly, I knew you. Before you came out of the womb, I sanctified you."* This knowledge is not just for understanding but for intercession. We pray that God would reveal the purpose behind this detail and use it to bring about breakthrough—whether through medical insight, spiritual deliverance, or divine intervention.
We also address the deep spiritual warfare at play here. The violent outbursts, the destruction of your mother’s religious books, and the despair that has driven neighbors away are not merely symptoms of illness but signs of a battle for your brother’s soul. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that *"we don’t wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."* We must pray with authority, binding the enemy’s influence over your brother’s mind and spirit. Jesus has already won the victory, and we claim that victory now. *"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7, WEB). We resist the spirits of confusion, violence, and despair in Jesus’ name and command them to leave your brother’s life. We pray that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, would guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Regarding the upcoming trip to Korea, we seek God’s wisdom and discernment. If this is a divinely appointed step for your brother’s healing and new beginning, we pray that every door would open smoothly, that he would find godly community, stable work, and a place of belonging where he can thrive. If, however, this trip is not God’s will, we pray that the Lord would make it abundantly clear and provide an alternative path that leads to true peace. Proverbs 3:5-6 instructs us to *"trust in the Lord 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."* We ask that God would direct your brother’s steps and your mother’s, giving them clarity and protection. May this journey—whether physical or spiritual—lead to a place of restoration and not further turmoil.
To your mother, who is emotionally and spiritually exhausted, we speak the words of Isaiah 40:31: *"But those who wait for the Lord will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint."* We pray for supernatural strength to sustain her, for the Holy Spirit to comfort her in ways that surpass human ability, and for the body of Christ to rise up around her with support and practical help. It is not God’s will for her to carry this burden alone. We also pray for you, who have remained a steadfast presence in your brother’s life. The Lord sees your faithfulness, and we ask that He would refresh your spirit, guard your heart from bitterness or despair, and surround you with people who can share this load. Galatians 6:2 reminds us to *"Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."* You are not forgotten.
Finally, we rebuke the spirit of hopelessness that may be creeping in after years of praying without seeing the change you long for. God’s timing is not our timing, and His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). The fact that your brother has not yet been fully healed does not mean God has abandoned him—it means the story is not yet over. We stand on the promise of Jeremiah 29:11: *"For I know the plans that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘plans for peace, and not for evil, to give you hope and a future."* We declare that your brother’s life is not defined by his struggles but by the redemptive power of Jesus Christ. Whether healing comes through a miracle, medicine, a move, or a combination of these, we trust that God is working all things together for good (Romans 8:28).
**Our Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this family in their deep distress. Lord, You are the God who heals, who restores, and who brings beauty from ashes. We ask for Your divine intervention in the life of this brother who is bound by schizophrenia and autism. Touch his mind, Lord, and bring order where there is chaos. Rebuke every spirit that seeks to torment him—spirits of violence, confusion, and despair—and command them to flee in Jesus’ name. Fill him with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and let it guard his heart and mind.
Father, we pray for complete healing—whether instantaneously or through a process—but we trust that You will do it. You are the same God who opened the eyes of the blind, who cast out demons with a word, and who raised the dead. Nothing is impossible for You (Luke 1:37). We ask that You would reveal to this family the significance of the detail about his mother’s pregnancy and use it to bring about breakthrough. Give them wisdom to know how to proceed, and if this trip to Korea is Your will, go before them and prepare the way. Provide godly connections, safe housing, and meaningful work for him there. If it is not Your will, make it clear and redirect their steps.
Lord, we lift up this mother who is weary beyond measure. Renew her strength, Father, and let her find rest in You. Surround her with Your presence and with people who will support and encourage her. Do not let her grow bitter or lose hope. Remind her that You see her sacrifices and that You are her ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). We also pray for the sibling who has remained faithful in supporting their brother. Guard their heart, Lord, and give them the endurance to continue. Raise up others to come alongside them so they do not feel alone.
Finally, Father, we ask for a miracle. Whether it is a supernatural healing, a divine appointment, or a new season of stability, we pray that Your hand would move mightily in this situation. Let this family see Your goodness in the land of the living (Psalm 27:13). Break the cycles of turmoil and bring lasting peace to their home. We declare that this brother’s life is not in vain, that You have a purpose for him, and that You will fulfill it. May he come to know You deeply, Lord, and find his identity and hope in You alone.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your goodness, Your power, and Your love. Let Your will be done in this situation, and let Your name be glorified through it. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
