We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting you and your children up in prayer. We understand the weight of physical pain, the exhaustion of mental strain, and the desperation of needing provision while feeling unable to meet the demands before you. You are not alone in this battle, and we stand with you, believing that our God is Jehovah Rapha, the Lord who heals, and Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who provides.
First, we want to acknowledge your faith in Jesus Christ. You have rightly declared that He is real and that He loves you. This is the foundation upon which we build our prayers and our hope. Jesus said in John 16:33, "In the world you have oppression, but cheer up! I have overcome the world." Even in suffering, we can find peace and strength in Him because He has already secured the victory.
We also want to encourage you with the words of Isaiah 41:10, "Don’t you be afraid, 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." God sees your struggle, and He promises to strengthen and uphold you. Your pain is not in vain, and your perseverance is not unnoticed.
However, we must also address the spiritual aspect of your suffering. You mentioned that you have been speaking to your situation, quoting scripture, and praying, yet it feels as though it is not working. We want to gently remind you that faith without works is dead (James 2:17), but it is also true that our works must be aligned with God’s will and timing. Sometimes, God allows us to go through trials to refine our faith, to teach us dependence on Him, and to bring glory to His name in ways we may not immediately understand. Consider the story of Job, who suffered greatly yet remained faithful. In the end, God restored him doubly (Job 42:10). Your suffering is not without purpose, and God is working even when you cannot see it.
We also want to rebuke any spirit of fear, doubt, or despair that may be trying to take hold of your mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 tells us, "For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control." The enemy may be whispering lies that you are not capable, that your pain will never end, or that God has abandoned you. We rebuke those lies in the name of Jesus Christ. You are more than a conqueror through Him who loved you (Romans 8:37), and no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
Now, let us pray for you and your children:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this sister in Christ and her children to You, knowing that You are a God who sees, hears, and answers prayer. Lord, we ask for Your healing touch to be upon her body. You are the Great Physician, and we believe that by Your stripes, she is healed (Isaiah 53:5). We rebuke every spirit of infirmity and pain in her back and legs. Strengthen her body, Lord, so that she may fulfill the work You have called her to do. Give her the endurance to stand, the strength to persevere, and the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Father, we also pray for her soul and mind. Guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Deliver her from anxiety, fear, and despair. Fill her with Your peace, joy, and hope. Remind her daily that she is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14) and that You have plans for her welfare, not for evil, to give her a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Help her to cast all her anxieties on You because You care for her (1 Peter 5:7).
Lord, we ask for Your protection over her and her children. Surround them with Your angels and shield them from every attack of the enemy. Keep them safe from harm, both seen and unseen. We also pray for favor in her workplace. Soften the heart of her supervisor and grant her grace in the eyes of those around her. Provide for her every need according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19).
Father, we declare that this trial will not break her but will instead refine her faith and draw her closer to You. We trust in Your perfect timing and Your perfect will. May Your name be glorified in her life, and may she emerge from this season stronger, wiser, and more dependent on You.
In the precious name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue standing on God’s promises, even when the circumstances seem overwhelming. Remember that God’s ways are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9), and His timing is perfect. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). Surround yourself with fellow believers who can pray with you, encourage you, and hold you accountable. Consider seeking godly counsel or medical advice if your pain persists, as God often works through practical means as well.
You are not forgotten, and your labor in the Lord is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58). Keep pressing forward, knowing that God is with you every step of the way.
