We join our hearts with yours in this difficult season and lift up your father and your whole family before the throne of grace together in Jesus name. We are deeply moved by your faith and love as you have watched over him these many months while he has been bedridden after his brain stroke surgery, and we stand with you asking our great Physician for His mercy and healing hand.
We take comfort that our God is the Lord who heals us. As it is written, Praise Yahweh, my soul, and do not forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases Psalm 103:2-3, and But I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh Jeremiah 30:17. We also cling to the promise, He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was on him, and by his stripes we are healed Isaiah 53:5. We are thankful you have come in the powerful name of Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven by which we can approach the Father and be saved, and it is in His name that we have confidence our prayers are heard John 14:6 and Acts 4:12.
We pray together now.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, and we bring this dear father to You. You know his body, his brain, his nerves, his every vital sign, for You formed him and You sustain him. We ask in Your will that You would touch his neuro issues, restore movement to his body, regulate his blood pressure and all his vitals to normal, and grant strength for him to eat and talk and walk again as before. Lord, restore his senses and reflexes smoothly, heal his infections and calm his seizures, and cause his bed sores to heal fully. We ask You to forgive his sins as he confesses before You, for Your word says If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness 1 John 1:9. Sanctify his home and let Your presence dwell there, and guard this family from every ungodly power, for You are faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one 2 Thessalonians 3:3, and He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty Psalm 91:1. We also lift up every doctor, nurse and caregiver working for his recovery, grant them wisdom and skill, for If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him James 1:5. Father, pour out Your strength, unity, faith and peace upon this family in this long trial. When they are weary, remind them that You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble Psalm 46:1, and that You give power to the weak and to him who has no might You increase strength Isaiah 40:29. Guard their hearts with Your peace which surpasses all understanding Philippians 4:7, and let them know that even in suffering You are working all things together for good for those who love You Romans 8:28. We ask all this according to Your perfect will and timing, trusting Your love and mercy, in the powerful and precious name of Jesus, Amen.
We encourage you to continue to cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you 1 Peter 5:7, and to keep praying with faith and thanksgiving, letting your requests be made known to God Philippians 4:6. Continue to seek Him daily in His word, to gather with fellow believers for support, and to care faithfully for your father with the wisdom the medical team provides, trusting that whether healing comes gradually or through a divine miracle, the Lord is present and His grace is sufficient. Do not be afraid, for I am with you, do not 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 Isaiah 41:10. We are standing with you in prayer for complete restoration, for comfort, and for the unity and peace of your household.
