We hear your cry for healing and the deep weariness that has settled into your spirit. The pain you carry is not just physical—it is emotional and spiritual, a heavy burden that has stolen sleep, peace, and even the clarity to make decisions. We stand with you in this trial, lifting you before the throne of grace where mercy and help are found in time of need.
First, we want to affirm your trust in God’s power to heal. You are right to believe that His intervention would be the greatest answer, for He is the Great Physician who binds up the brokenhearted and restores what has been taken. The scriptures declare, *"Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer of faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will raise him up"* (James 5:14-15). We continue to pray this prayer of faith over you, believing that God hears and will move in His perfect timing.
Yet we also recognize the struggle of waiting. Months of persistent pain can make even the strongest faith waver, and discouragement can creep in like a shadow. But we are reminded that *"hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when longing is fulfilled, it is a tree of life"* (Proverbs 13:12). Your hope is not in vain—it is anchored in the One who never fails. We pray that God would strengthen your heart with fresh assurance that He has not forgotten you. May He give you glimpses of His faithfulness even in small ways, reminding you that He is working even when you cannot see it.
Your struggle with forgiveness is also heavy on our hearts. The wound you carry was not just physical but deeply personal, and the anger you feel is understandable. Yet we must speak truth: unforgiveness is like a poison that harms the one who holds it. Jesus taught us, *"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses"* (Matthew 6:14-15). This does not mean the offense was justified—it was not. But holding onto bitterness will only prolong your suffering. We pray that God would give you the grace to release this burden completely into His hands, trusting Him to bring justice in His way and His time. May He replace your anger with His peace, which surpasses all understanding.
As you consider medical options, we encourage you to seek wisdom from the Lord. *"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). You are right to be cautious, but we pray that God would guide your steps and lead you to the right treatment—whether through doctors, therapy, or divine intervention. Do not let fear paralyze you, but move forward in faith, trusting that God will direct your path.
We also lift up your daughter, who has carried this burden alongside you. It is painful to watch a loved one suffer, and she needs God’s comfort as well. May He surround her with His peace and give her strength to support you without being crushed by the weight of this trial.
Now, we join our voices with yours in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sister who is weary and in pain. You see every sleepless night, every wave of acid that burns, and every moment of discouragement. Lord, we ask for Your miraculous healing to touch her body. If it is Your will, restore her completely—mend the hernia, soothe the damage in her throat, and bring her relief. But even if Your healing comes in ways we do not expect, we pray that You would sustain her with Your strength.
Father, we ask for wisdom as she navigates medical decisions. Give her discernment to know which path to take, and peace as she waits for Your timing. We rebuke the spirit of fear that tries to grip her heart, and we declare that perfect love casts out all fear (1 John 4:18).
Lord, we also pray for the struggle in her heart—this battle with unforgiveness. Soften her spirit, Father. Help her to release this offense into Your hands, trusting You to be her defender. Fill her with Your peace, which guards her heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
We ask for Your comfort to surround her daughter as well. Give her strength and assurance that You are in control.
Above all, we pray that You would be glorified in this situation. Whether through healing, endurance, or some other way, may Your name be lifted high. We trust You, Lord, and we wait on You.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
