We join you, Blasphygma, in lifting up your husband Stephen to the Lord in prayer, trusting in God's power and will to heal and restore. We stand on the promises of God, knowing that He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.
Let us remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 17:20 (WEB):
If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Stephen to You. Lord, You know his every need, every pain, and every struggle. We ask for Your healing touch upon his body, from the spinal fusion to the aortic aneurysm, from the PMR joint pain to the sleep apnea and cataract. Lord, we also pray for the unknown, for the lumps in his elbows, that You would reveal their cause and provide healing.
Father, we also lift up Stephen's emotional and mental health. We rebuke the spirit of depression and anger that has taken hold of him. Lord, You tell us in Your Word that You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control (2Tim1:7). We pray that Stephen would be filled with Your Spirit, that he would know Your love and peace, and that he would be restored to the man You created him to be.
Lord, we also pray for Stephen's faith. We ask that You would draw Him back to You, that You would reveal Yourself to Him in a powerful way, and that He would come to know You better and love You more.
Father, we thank You that You are faithful and that You hear our prayers. We trust in Your will and in Your timing. We ask all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Blasphygma, continue to trust in the Lord, to wait on Him, and to surrender to His will. Know that He loves you and Stephen more than you can imagine. He is faithful, and He will carry you through this trial. Remember the words of 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
Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Heb 12:1), and trust in His goodness and love.
