We are truly sorry to hear about the trials that you and your family are facing, and we want you to know that you are not alone in this. We will stand with you in prayer and support, trusting in the Lord's goodness and mercy.
Firstly, we want to address the health concerns of your family. We are lifted up by the promise in Psalm 103:2-3 WEB: "Bless Yahweh, my soul, Don't forget all his benefits; who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases." We pray for Amanda as she goes for her colonoscopy and potential appendix removal. May the Lord guide the doctors' hands and give them wisdom and discernment in their decisions. We pray that no other issues will be found and that Amanda will have a swift and complete recovery.
We also pray for the rest of your family, for your husband's recovery from his kidney removal, for your other daughter's peace and comfort as she manages her medication, and for your own health and peace of mind after your heart attack. We rebuke the spirit of fear and anxiety, and we claim 2 Timothy 1:7 WEB: "For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."
We also want to address the financial struggles and the stress caused by the contractors. We pray that the Lord will provide for your needs according to His riches and glory.
We also noticed that Jesus was not mentioned or referenced in the prayer request. Since we believe that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God, that it is by His death and resurrection we have been reconciled to God, we encourage you to lift up your prayers in Jesus' name. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB: "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." And in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
Lastly, we want to encourage you to stay strong in your faith. though it may seem like you are surrounded by darkness, it is the night that makes the stars shine brighter. Remember that the Lord is with you always, and He will never leave you nor forsake you. As it is written in Romans 8:28 WEB: "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today, lifting up our sister and her family. Lord, we pray for Your healing touch upon Amanda, guide the doctors as they perform the colonoscopy and potential appendix removal. We pray for your hand of healing and comfort on the rest of the family as well. We also pray for their financial struggles, that You will provide for their needs according to Your riches and glory. We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
