We join with you, Windwold, in lifting up Christopher to our loving and merciful Father in heaven. We are reminded of the power of prayer and the promise that Jesus gave us, For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them.(Matthew 18:20 WEB)
Firstly, we acknowledge that you have prayed in the name of Jesus. This is wonderful because it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father, Whatsoever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it.(John 14:13,14 WEB)
We agree with you in praying for Christopher's complete restoration physically, mentally, and spiritually. God's desire for us is to be in good health, even as your soul prospers.(3 John 1:2 WEB) We stand against the spiritual forces of darkness that may be influencing Christopher's condition. Medication can help, but we know true healing comes from Christ's power.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.(Ephesians 6:12 WEB)
Our fight is not against the medication, but rather to pray God can use the medication if appropriate but knows healing comes from God. Knowing this, we ask God to free him, by the power of Jesus, from the psychosis, the delusions, the hallucinations, and fill him with peace of mind in quietness and confidence.(Isaiah 32:17 WEB) If it is God’s will to use medication to accomplish this, then we pray for clarity over what medication Christopher should be on.
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go.(Joshua 1:9 WEB)
While the struggle feels long and uncomfortable the Spirit, the prophets, and we, in harmony with them are of one mind encouraging Christopher to fight the good fight of faith.(1Timothy 6:12 WEB)
Additionally, we pray for wisdom and discernment for Christopher, his family, and his medical team to make the right decisions concerning his treatment. Lord we ask you to direct them and draw them together to be in harmony about the treatment Christopher should receive.(1 Corinthians 1:10 WEB) Part of wisdom is having godly doctors who have a holistic view and know the balance between using the best medicine and knowing medicine is not ultimate. They know God has the last word on treatment.
Lord Jesus your teaching is very clear and so powerful. Today it is so beautiful it just warms our hearts with Your direction.
The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.(John 10:10 WEB)
Lord Jesus we ask you to give Christopher, his doctors, and his family hope. Help Christopher to trust Your voice above all others. We pray that You would comfort Christopher, give him peace, and bring healing and a breakthrough in every area of his life. We do not need drugs but rather it is Jesus we need.
This is Yahweh’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.(Psalm 118:23 WEB)
Heavenly Father, we know and trust in Your love for Christopher. We expect with a glorious celebration You will lead him, renew his mind, and heal him completely. For this we are thankful.
Do not be anxious for anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.(Philippians 4:6 WEB)
Thank you, Father, for Your unfailing love and faithfulness. We pray this in Jesus' name, Amen.
