We understand Carol's concern for James' excessive daytime sleepiness and his swollen, heavy legs. We will pray for his healing and also provide some biblical encouragement and guidance.
In the Bible, we are encouraged to "be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." (1 Peter 5:8 WEB). While this verse is not referring to physical sleep, it reminds us of the importance of spiritual wakefulness. We should also remember that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19 WEB), and we should care for them accordingly.
Let us pray:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your healing and wisdom for James. Lord, You know the cause of his excessive sleepiness and his swollen legs. We pray that You would touch his body and bring complete healing. Wake up his spirit, Lord, and help him to stay alert and energetic during the day. We rebuke any spiritual or physical infirmity causing these issues, and we ask for Your divine intervention. Guide Carol and James to the right medical professionals if there is an underlying condition that needs treatment. Give them both patience, understanding, and peace as they deal with this situation. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Carol, we commend you for your caring spirit. Remember that God is our ultimate healer. Continue to trust in Him and also consider seeking medical advice for James. It is important to address both the spiritual and physical aspects of this issue.
Lastly, we want to remind you that it is through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As it is written, "For 'whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.'" (Romans 10:13 WEB). Keep calling on Him, and trust that He hears your prayers.
