Let's bring Janine Barnard before the throne of grace in united prayer, seeking God's will for her life. We are reminded of God's care for us, as it says in First Peter 5:7, Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
Firstly, we pray for Janine's healing and recovery from schizophrenia. We know that God is able to heal and restore, as it is written in Psalm 103:3, who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases. We pray for her complete healing in body, soul, and spirit. We rebuke any and all evil spirits that may be causing her anguish, torment, and mental disorders.
We also pray for her physical health. Janine mentions being physically very ill, with a lot of bodily pains. The Bible tells us in James 5:14-15, Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
We pray for her financial distress. God knows our needs and He is able to provide for us. It is written in Philippians 4:19, My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. We pray that God will open doors for Janine to find work in nursing. May He grant her favor and success. We are reminded in Proverbs 10:22, It is the blessing of the LORD that makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.
We are concerned that the prayer is addressed to the Father and Son and Holy Spirit but does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. And we pray in the name of Jesus Christ because it is written in John 14:6, Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, but through me. And in John 15:16, You did not choose me, but I chose you; and I appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you. And in John 16:23, In that day you will not ask me anything. Most certainly, I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. We pray that Janine and her parents will come to acknowledge Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
Lastly, we pray for Janine's parents, that they may be strengthened and encouraged in their faith. We pray that they will trust in God's goodness and mercy as they support their daughter.
