We join you, MomsPetunia, in lifting up your husband Stephen to the Lord, trusting in His power to heal and restore. Let us come before God's throne with confidence, knowing that it is His will to heal and that all things are possible through Jesus Christ.
Firstly, we acknowledge the power of Jesus' name, as it is written 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." It is through Jesus that we have access to the Father and by His stripes that we are healed.
We pray, Father, for Stephen's complete healing—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. You, Lord, know the medical issues, pain, and suffering he has endured over the years, including his sleep apnea. We ask for Your divine touch, that You would heal him from extreme anger and depression. Help him, Lord, to understand the importance of taking his medications, especially for his blood pressure. We pray that you will help His attitude and begin to want to take them soon. Remove the anger and replace it with joy of the Lord.
We ask you to convict him through your Holy Spirit to attend church with his wife. Surround him with Your loving presence, that he would experience the fullness of Your love and peace and the pleasure of church attendance.
We also lift up MomsPetunia, asking that You would guide her, give her wisdom, and strengthen her to be supportive and patient. Help her to be a better person in all ways, that she may reflect Your love and grace to Stephen. This is only possible with help from the Holy Spirit. We know that You are faithful, and Your promises are true. In Jesus' name, we pray for this marriage and Stephen's healing.
Remember, MomsPetunia, the words of James 5:16 WEB: "Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective." Continue to pray fervently, trusting in God's timing and goodness.
Stand firm in faith, knowing that our God is a God of miracles. Be encouraged by the words of Jesus in Mark 11:24 WEB: "Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them." Trust in the Lord, and keep praying together with us for Stephen's healing and your family's restoration.
