We join with you in lifting up your precious wife before the throne of grace and we thank God that she is a believer in Christ Jesus and therefore already secure in His hands. We know how worrying it can be to see swelling and soreness and to wait for blood test results, and we want to stand with you both in prayer and trust together for God's mercy and healing.
Scripture reminds us that our God is our healer and our comfort in times of uncertainty. As it says in Psalm 103:2-3, Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases. And in Jeremiah 30:17, But I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh. We also cling to the promise 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. He also tells us in 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.
We pray together now for her.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, through whom we have access to Your throne. We lift up this dear wife and sister in Christ to You. You see the swelling and soreness under her neck, You know every detail of her body for You formed her, and nothing is hidden from You. We ask in Jesus name that You would touch her body and bring healing according to Your will. We pray that You would calm any inflammation, ease the soreness, and restore her to full health. We pray for wisdom for the doctors and for accuracy and clarity in the blood test results, that whatever needs to be treated would be revealed and that there would be no cause for great fear. We ask that You would replace anxiety while waiting with Your perfect peace that surpasses understanding, guarding both husband and wife as they wait upon You. Help them to rest in You, to trust in Your goodness, and to cast all their cares upon You because You care for them. We thank You that You are Jehovah Rapha, the Lord who heals us, and we trust her life into Your loving hands. Let Your will be done and let her testimony bring glory to You. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior we pray, amen.
We encourage you both to continue to seek wise medical counsel and to keep bringing every worry to the Lord in prayer together. We also encourage you to meditate on Psalm 46:1, God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble, and to wait patiently on Him. We will continue to hold you both up in prayer for complete healing and for peace as you await the results.
