Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up Stephen to Your throne of grace. Lord, we know that You are the Great Physician, and we ask that it be Your will to heal Stephen physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Your Word declares, "Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for you are my praise" (Jeremiah 17:14). We pray that You bring complete healing to Stephen's body, mind, and soul.
Lord, Stephen has been dealing with multiple serious health problems for years, leading to depression, extreme anger, and emotional turmoil. We ask that You pour out Your peace upon him, the peace that surpasses all understanding, as You have promised, "And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:7).
Father, we pray for Stephen's heart to be softened and for him to return to the faith. Your Word tells us, "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh" (Ezekiel 36:26). We ask that You renew his spirit and restore his relationship with You, bringing him back to the light of Your truth.
We also lift up their beloved cat, who is suffering from cancer. Lord, this situation is extremely heartbreaking, and we ask for Your comfort and strength during this difficult time. Your Word reminds us, "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you" (1 Peter 5:7). We ask that You help them to cast their burdens onto You, knowing that You care deeply for them and their cat.
Lord, we also pray for Stephen’s wife, who is distraught and hurting, struggling to cope with the constant emotional distress. We ask for Your strength to sustain her, for Your grace to guide her responses, and for Your love to fill her heart. As Your Word says, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit" (Psalm 34:18). We trust that You are near her in this time of need.
Father, we pray for healing miracles in this situation. We believe that nothing is too hard for You, as Your Word declares, "I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?" (Jeremiah 32:27). We ask for Your miraculous intervention in Stephen’s health, his emotional well-being, and their marriage. May Your will be done, and may Your healing touch restore and renew them.
In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
