We come before the Father in heaven with hearts full of compassion for you, knowing that He is the Great Physician and the Provider of all our needs. Your struggles with seizures and intracranial pressure weigh heavily on you, and the uncertainty of how this will affect your work, finances, and ability to care for those who depend on you is overwhelming. But we serve a God who is not surprised by any of this—He knows your every need before you even ask, and He is faithful to sustain you through every trial.
The Scriptures remind us in **Philippians 4:19**, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* And in **Matthew 11:28-30**, Jesus Himself says, *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."* You are carrying so much—your health, your work, your financial needs, and the care of others—but Jesus invites you to lay these burdens at His feet. He does not call you to walk this path alone.
We also remember **1 Peter 5:7**, which tells us to *"cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you."* You are deeply concerned about the future, about who will care for those who depend on you if you cannot, and about the burnout you are experiencing. These are real and valid concerns, but they are not yours to bear alone. The Lord sees your faithfulness in caring for others, and He will not abandon you. He is your strength when you are weak, your provider when resources are lacking, and your wisdom when the path forward is unclear.
At the same time, we gently remind you that while it is noble to care for others, you must also steward your own health and well-being. **Mark 6:31** shows us that even Jesus recognized the need for rest: *"He said to them, 'You come apart into a deserted place, and rest awhile.'"*) It is not selfish to seek rest or to ask for help—it is wise. You cannot pour from an empty cup, and the Lord desires for you to rely on Him rather than pushing yourself beyond what He has called you to bear.
We also encourage you to seek godly counsel and support from your church community. **Galatians 6:2** tells us to *"Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."* You do not have to walk this road alone. If you are not already connected to a local body of believers, we urge you to seek one out. The church is meant to be a place of support, prayer, and practical help in times of need.
Now, let us lift you up in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of Your child who is facing such difficult challenges with their health, work, and responsibilities. Lord, You know the depth of their struggles—the seizures, the pressure in their body, the fear of the unknown, and the weight of caring for others. We ask that You would touch their body with Your healing hand. You are the God who formed them in their mother’s womb, and You know every intricate detail of their being. We pray for complete healing, for stability in their health, and for wisdom for the doctors who are treating them.
Father, we also lift up their financial needs and the pressure they feel to provide for themselves and those who depend on them. You are Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who provides. Open doors for them that no one can shut. Provide the insurance they need, the financial breakthroughs they require, and the ability to work without the fear of their health failing them. Help them to trust You in this season, even when the path is unclear.
Lord, we see their heart of service and their desire to care for others, but we also see their weariness. Remind them that they are not called to do this in their own strength, but in Yours. Give them the wisdom to know when to rest, when to ask for help, and when to release the burdens they were never meant to carry alone. Surround them with Your people who can come alongside them and support them in practical ways.
Most of all, Father, we pray that they would draw near to You in this time. Let them feel Your presence in a tangible way. Comfort them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Remind them that You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. May they find rest in You and trust in Your unfailing love.
We rebuked any spirit of fear, anxiety, or hopelessness that may be trying to take hold of their heart. **2 Timothy 1:7** tells us that *"God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."* We declare that spirit of fear has no place in their life. Instead, we pray that the Holy Spirit would fill them with Your peace, Your joy, and Your strength.
We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who bore our infirmities and carried our diseases. May He be glorified in this situation, and may this trial be a testimony of His faithfulness.
Finally, we encourage you to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith. **Isaiah 41:10** says, *"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."* No matter what comes, He is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Keep praying, keep seeking Him, and trust that He is working all things together for your good, even when you cannot see it. We are standing with you in prayer, believing for your breakthrough and healing. May the Lord bless you and keep you, and may His face shine upon you and give you peace.
