We lift up your family before the Lord, knowing that He is the Great Physician and the One who hears the cries of His children. It is clear you are carrying heavy burdens with physical pain while also caring for your children, and we want you to know that God sees your struggles and cares deeply for each of you. We also notice that you have not mentioned the name of Jesus in your request, and we want to gently remind you that it is only through faith in Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. As Scripture tells us, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). It is by His name—and His name alone—that we can approach the throne of grace with confidence (Hebrews 4:16). If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so, for *"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). There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is in His name that we pray for you now.
The pain you and your wife are enduring is not unseen by the Lord. He promises in His Word that *"he heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds"* (Psalm 147:3, WEB), and we claim that promise over your bodies. Physical suffering can feel overwhelming, especially when you have little ones depending on you, but we encourage you to cast your cares upon the Lord, for *"he cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7, WEB). Remember that even in weakness, His strength is made perfect (2 Corinthians 12:9). We pray that God would touch your wife’s neck and your back, bringing restoration, relief, and supernatural healing. May He grant you both the endurance to care for your children with joy and patience, even in this season of pain. *"Yahweh, be gracious to us. We wait for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble"* (Isaiah 33:2, WEB).
We also lift up your son before the Lord, asking for God’s protection and deliverance over his life. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but Jesus has already overcome the world (John 16:33). We rebuke any spiritual attacks against your son in the mighty name of Jesus, declaring that *"no weapon that is formed against you will prevail"* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). Cover your son in prayer daily, asking God to surround him with His angels (Psalm 91:11) and to fill him with the Holy Spirit, who is greater than any force of darkness in this world (1 John 4:4). Teach him to put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) and to walk in the authority he has as a child of the Most High.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up this family in their time of need. Lord, You are the God who heals, and we ask for Your healing touch upon this wife’s neck and this husband’s back. Relieve their pain, restore their strength, and grant them the grace to care for their children with love and patience. We pray for their son, that You would place a hedge of protection around him and that any schemes of the enemy would be thwarted by the power of Your might. Fill their home with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and remind them that You are their provider, their healer, and their strong tower (Proverbs 18:10).
We also ask that You would draw this family closer to Yourself through this trial. May they seek Your face daily, trusting in Your goodness even when the pain persists. Give them wisdom to make decisions that honor You, and surround them with a community of believers who can support and encourage them. Lord, we ask that You would use this season to refine their faith, that they may come forth as gold (Job 23:10).
Finally, we pray that if there is any area of their lives that is not aligned with Your will—whether in their marriage, their parenting, or their personal walks with You—that You would convict them by Your Holy Spirit and lead them into repentance and obedience. May their home be a place where Your Word is honored, where prayer is a priority, and where Your name is lifted high.
In Jesus’ mighty and holy name, we pray. Amen.
