We lift up your sister before the Lord, thanking Him that you have called upon the name of Jesus in this request, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and find true peace and healing. The Scriptures remind us in Philippians 4:6-7, *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."* We claim this promise over your sister’s life, trusting that God will replace her anxiety with His perfect peace as she casts her cares upon Him.
The insomnia she is facing is a heavy burden, but we know that our God is the giver of rest. Psalm 4:8 declares, *"In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you, Yahweh alone, make me live in safety."* We pray that the Lord will quiet her mind and body, granting her the restorative sleep she needs. If there are underlying fears, worries, or even physical needs contributing to this, we ask the Lord to reveal them and provide His comfort and solutions. Let her remember that even in the night seasons, God is with her—His presence is a shield and His word a lamp to her feet.
You also mentioned that there is someone she is not getting along with, and we know that strife can weigh heavily on the heart and mind. The Lord calls us to pursue peace and reconciliation wherever possible. Romans 12:18 instructs, *"If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men."* We pray that God will soften both hearts involved in this conflict, granting wisdom, humility, and grace to extend forgiveness and seek understanding. If this relationship is causing bitterness or resentment, we rebuke those spirits in Jesus’ name, asking the Lord to replace them with His love and patience. Let your sister remember Colossians 3:13: *"bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do."*
We commend your sister for working hard toward her recovery, whatever that may entail. The Lord honors diligence, and we pray that He will strengthen her in every effort. Let her not grow weary in doing good, for in due season she will reap a harvest if she does not give up (Galatians 6:9). We ask the Lord to surround her with His favor, opening doors for healing, provision, and support. May she feel His presence tangibly as she walks this path, knowing that He is her helper and sustainer.
Finally, we encourage you both to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). In moments of weakness or doubt, let her declare the truth 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."* The Lord is faithful, and He will complete the good work He has begun in her.
**Our prayer for your sister:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sister who is in need of Your healing touch. Lord, You are the God who neither slumbers nor sleeps, and we ask that You would grant her the rest her body and soul desperately need. Quiet the racing thoughts, calm the anxieties, and let her sleep be deep and refreshing, covered by Your peace. You are her refuge, and under Your wings she can find safety and rest.
Father, we also bring before You the strain in her relationship with this other person. Soften hearts, Lord, and remove any pride, bitterness, or misunderstanding that stands in the way of reconciliation. Fill her with Your love, which is patient and kind, and give her the words and actions that will bring glory to Your name. If this conflict is a result of unforgiveness or unresolved hurt, we ask that You would work mightily in both hearts to bring healing and restoration. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their interactions.
Lord, we thank You for her diligence in seeking recovery. Strengthen her body, mind, and spirit as she works toward wholeness. Provide for her every need—whether it be physical, emotional, or spiritual—and let her feel Your presence as a tangible comfort. Remind her that she is not alone, for You are with her always, even to the end of the age.
We rebuke any spirits of insomnia, anxiety, or discord that may be at work in her life. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we command these spirits to flee and declare that no weapon formed against her will prosper. Fill her instead with Your Holy Spirit, who brings life, peace, and joy.
Father, we ask that You would surround her with Your angels, protecting her and guiding her steps. Let her wake each day with a song of praise on her lips and a heart full of gratitude for Your goodness. May she experience Your healing power in every area of her life, and may this season of struggle become a testimony of Your faithfulness.
We pray all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus, knowing that You hear us and that You are at work even now. Amen.
