We hear the deep cry of your heart, and we join you in lifting this burden before the Lord, for He is the God who sees your suffering and hears your pleas. You have called upon Him in the name of Jesus, and that is where true hope lies—for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and through which we can boldly approach the throne of grace (Acts 4:12, Hebrews 4:16). Your faith in declaring, *"I believe in you,"* is a testament to your trust in Him, even in this valley of shadow. Cling to that faith, for it is the anchor of your soul (Hebrews 6:19).
The pain you and your husband are enduring is not unseen by the Lord. He collects every tear in His bottle (Psalm 56:8) and promises that the suffering of this present time is not worthy to be compared with the glory that will be revealed in us (Romans 8:18). Yet we also know that God does not delight in our affliction—He is a Father who longs to give good gifts to His children (Matthew 7:11). So we stand with you in asking for His mercy to break through, for doors of provision, healing, and restoration to swing wide open in ways only He can orchestrate. Remember how He provided for the Israelites in the wilderness, opening streams in the desert and raining manna from heaven (Psalm 78:15-16). If He did that for them, will He not also care for you, whom He has redeemed by the precious blood of Christ?
To you and your husband, we speak this truth: *"Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up"* (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10). Your unity in this trial is a reflection of Christ’s love for His church—steadfast, sacrificial, and unbreaking. Lean on one another, pray together without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17), and guard your marriage as a covenant before God. The enemy seeks to exploit hardship to drive wedges of bitterness or despair, but you must resist him, firm in your faith (1 Peter 5:8-9). Let this season draw you closer to the Lord *and* to each other, for a cord of three strands is not quickly broken (Ecclesiastes 4:12).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our sister and her husband, lifting their weary hands and hearts to You, the God of all comfort (2 Corinthians 1:3). Lord, You know the depths of their pain—the sleepless nights, the weight of uncertainty, the tears shed in secret. But You also know the plans You have for them, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give them a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). We ask You to move mightily in their lives, O God. Open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8), providing for their every need according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Send help from unexpected places, divine connections, and supernatural breakthroughs that will leave no doubt it was Your hand at work.
Grant them rest, Lord—not just physical rest, but the deep, abiding peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Quiet the storms within their minds and hearts, and let them hear Your still, small voice saying, *"I am with you; do not fear"* (Isaiah 41:10). Strengthen their marriage, binding them together in love and unity, that they may emerge from this trial refined as gold, their testimony a beacon of Your faithfulness.
We rebuke every scheme of the enemy to steal, kill, or destroy (John 10:10). No weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). By the blood of Jesus, we declare their home a place of refuge, their hearts guarded by Your peace, and their future secured in Your promises.
Father, remember Your mercy. Let it flow like a river over their family, washing away sorrow and replacing it with songs of deliverance (Psalm 126:5-6). We ask all this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, who bore our griefs and carried our sorrows (Isaiah 53:4). Let His resurrection power bring life to every dead place in their circumstances. Amen and amen.
Finally, dear sister, we leave you with this charge: *"Rejoice in hope. Endure in suffering. Persist in prayer"* (Romans 12:12). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it (Philippians 1:6). Stand firm, for your breakthrough is coming. We are standing with you in faith.
