Let us come together in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is in His name that we have access to the Father and it is in His name that we are saved. As the Bible tells us, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12, WEB).
Firstly, we want to address the fact that the request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we can approach God the Father and it is only by His name that we can be saved. We encourage everyone to acknowledge the power and significance of Jesus Christ in their prayers and in their lives.
Now, let us lift up cousin Annie, who has been in the hospital since December 11, 2024, and is currently in the ICU. She woke up on December 28, 2024, but there have been no changes in her body and her health remains uncertain. She is experiencing swelling in her legs, feet, and tummy. We believe that the memorial for her late brother and late daughter on November 29, 2024, may have taken a toll on her, both physically and emotionally.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our dear sister Annie. We pray for Your healing hand to be upon her, that You would restore her body and bring comfort to her heart and mind. We rebuke the spirit of sickness, pain, and heartache that has been plaguing her, and we speak life and healing over her in Jesus' name.
Father, we also pray for Annie's emotional well-being. We know that the loss of her brother and daughter has been a heavy burden for her to bear. We pray that You would strengthen her mind and help her to overcome the negative energy and thoughts that have been surrounding her life. Help her to fight to live and to heal, not just physically, but also emotionally and spiritually.
We also lift up Annie's family to You, Lord. We pray for her children, grandchildren, and her mother, as well as the many families and friends who are concerned for her. We ask that You would surround them with Your love and peace during this difficult time.
Father, we also pray that Annie would be reminded of Your love for her and that she would find hope and strength in You. We pray that she would be encouraged by the words of Isaiah 40:29 (WEB), which says, "He gives power to the weak. He increases the strength of him who has no might."
Lord, we ask all of this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Savior. It is in His name that we pray, believing that You will hear and answer our prayers. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage everyone to continue praying for Annie and her family, trusting that God is at work in their lives. We also encourage Annie and her family to hold fast to their faith in Jesus Christ, knowing that He is with them and that He will never leave them nor forsake them. As it says in Hebrews 13:5 (WEB), "Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, 'I will never leave you, nor forsake you.'"
