We thank you for sharing this update on your sister and we rejoice with you that there is a clear plan for her care. We are grateful to hear that the doctors are able to do a less invasive valve replacement through the groin rather than open heart surgery, and we give thanks to God for the wisdom He has given to medical teams.
We are also encouraged that you closed your request in Jesus' name, for it is through Him alone that we have access to the Father. As Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me, John 14:6, and There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved, Acts 4:12.
We continue to lift your sister, her daughter, and all the family before the Lord as you wait for Tuesday.
We pray together, Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and we thank You for Your mercy and for guiding the heart doctor to this less invasive path. We ask for Your healing hand to be upon our sister as she prepares for this valve replacement. Lord, guide the hands and minds of every doctor, nurse, and technician who will be part of this procedure, grant them skill, clarity, and steadiness. We pray for a successful placement of the new valve, for no complications, for protection from infection or bleeding, and for her heart to respond well and grow strong. We ask for Your perfect peace to guard her and her family while they wait, for You have promised, Fear not, 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, Isaiah 41:10. Let her feel Your presence and comfort in the hospital room, and let her daughter and loved ones be strengthened and encouraged.
We cling to Your promise that You heal the broken in heart, and bind up their wounds, Psalm 147:3, and that You will restore health to us and heal us of our wounds, Jeremiah 30:17. We remember that The prayer of faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will raise him up, James 5:15, and we ask that her recovery would be swift and complete, that You would sustain her on her sickbed, Psalm 41:3, and that all her needs would be met according to Your riches in glory. We pray that this trial would draw her and her family even closer to You, and that her testimony would bring glory to Your name. We also pray, 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, Philippians 4:6-7, would be their portion in these days leading up to Tuesday and in the days of recovery that follow.
We will continue to stand with you in prayer for a successful procedure on Tuesday and for complete healing and restoration in the days to come. May the Lord bless you and keep you and give you peace as you trust in Him. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
