We lift up your dear mother before the Lord, knowing that He is the Great Physician, the One who heals all our diseases and carries our pain. It is clear you love her deeply, and we join you in seeking God’s mercy and restoration for her. The Scriptures remind us in Psalm 103:2-4, *"Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits; who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases; who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies."* We claim this promise over your mother’s life, trusting that God is faithful to hear and answer our prayers when we call upon Him in faith.
The pain and fatigue she is experiencing are heavy burdens, but we know that our Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Shingles can be particularly trying, and muscle spasms add to the weariness of her body. Yet, we are encouraged by Isaiah 40:29-31, which tells us, *"He gives power to the weak. He increases the strength of him who has no might. Even the youths faint and get weary, and the young men utterly fall; but those who wait for Yahweh 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 that your mother will experience this divine renewal of strength, that her body will be restored, and that her pain will subside as the Lord works mightily in her.
We also want to gently remind you of the power of praying *in the name of Jesus*. It is through His name—and His name alone—that we have access to the Father and the authority to ask for healing and restoration. Jesus Himself said in John 14:13-14, *"Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."* There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is in His name that we boldly approach the throne of grace. We encourage you to always conclude your prayers by acknowledging Jesus as your Lord and Savior, for it is through Him that our requests are heard.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble and contrite hearts, lifting up this precious mother who is suffering. Lord, You see her pain, her weariness, and the toll this has taken on her body. We ask that You stretch out Your hand and touch her with Your healing power. Rebuke the shingles that cause her such discomfort, and calm the muscle spasms that bring her distress. Restore her strength, Lord, and fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Let her feel Your presence in a tangible way, knowing that You are her refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
We pray that You would give wisdom and skill to the doctors and caregivers attending to her, that they may provide the best care possible. Surround her with Your angels, Lord, and let her days be filled with Your comfort and joy. We ask that You would grant her a swift and complete recovery, that she may rise up in good health and testify to Your goodness and mercy.
Father, we also lift up her family, especially her child who has brought this request before You. Comfort their heart, Lord, and give them patience and faith as they care for their mother. Remind them that You are sovereign over all things, and that nothing is too difficult for You.
We pray all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who bore our sins and our sicknesses on the cross. By His stripes, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). May Your will be done, and may Your name be glorified through this situation. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer and reading His Word for comfort. Trust in His timing, for He is never late. Keep your heart open to His leading, and may you find peace in knowing that He holds your mother in the palm of His hand. If there is anything in your own life that needs surrendering to Him—fears, doubts, or anxieties—bring them to Jesus. He cares for you deeply (1 Peter 5:7), and He is faithful to walk with you through this season. Stay rooted in faith, and may God’s grace abound in your family.
