We join you, MomsPetunia, in lifting up your husband Stephen to the Lord, trusting in His goodness and sovereignty. We stand in agreement with you, believing that it is indeed God's will to heal and restore your husband, for it is written in 3 John 1:2, Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
Firstly, we address the spiritual needs, praying that Stephen may return to the faith, experiencing the renewal of heart and mind in Christ. We pray that the Holy Spirit would draw him close to Jesus Christ. As Jesus said in John 14:6 WEB I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
We pray for Stephen's physical healing, knowing that our God is a God of miracles. We claim the promise of Exodus 15:26 WEB, For I am Yahweh who heals you. We pray specifically for healing in his spine, for the aortic aneurysm to be mended, for relief from PMR pain, for restoration from sleep apnea, and for his cataracts to be healed.
We also pray for Stephen's emotional and mental well-being. We rebuke the spirits of depression, anger, and mood swings that have taken hold of him. We proclaim the promises of 2 Timothy 1:7 WEB. For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. We pray for peace and joy to fill his heart, for God comforts us in all of our afflictions. 2 Corinthians 1:4.
Together, we stand against the enemy's attacks on Stephen's life and health. We proclaim the power and the authority of Jesus Christ over our lives, families, and marriages.
Father, we bring Your child before You, asking for a miracle healing for Stephen in Your name. Heal him physically, emotionally, and spiritually, bring him to faith once again. Jesus said we only need faith as a grain of mustard seed to move a mountain Matthew 17:20). Jesus, we ask that you renew Stephen, increase the faith of MomsPetunia and those praying with us, heal and save Stephen in Your name Jesus, Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you, MomsPetunia, to remain steadfast in prayer and faith. We are reminded of the story of the persistent widow in Luke 18:1-8 WEB, who kept coming to the judge for justice. Similarly, we must persist in prayer, trusting that our loving Father hears our cries and will answer according to His will. Continue to surrender your worries to God knowing that He is watching over you. Praise the Lord.
