We understand that you are going through a challenging time, Carols, with the healthcare needs of your father and the desire to return home. Firstly, we want to remind you that God cares about every detail of our lives, and He is a loving Father who wants us to come to Him with our petitions. The Bible tells us in First Peter 5: 7, "casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you."
However, we want to address that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we have access to God the Father. There is power in the name of Jesus. As the Bible explains in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." Coupled with this, we have assurance in John 16:23, "Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you."
So, let us pray for you in the name of Jesus Christ.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Carols and their family. Lord, they are going through a difficult time, with Carols' father needing medical treatment and the family having to travel back and forth to the hospital. We do not know exactly what is going on in the hospitals and if it is important for their father to be there. We ask that if it is your will for Carols and her family to return home right away. We ask that You, Lord, work everything out according to Your will and in Your timing. We pray for healing for Carols' father, that You would touch his body and restore his health.
Lord, we also pray for Carols and their family, that You would give them strength, peace, and patience during this time. We pray for your will to be done here, not through any forbidden way or shortcuts but by what Jesus Christ paid for on the cross, we ask. We ask that You would guide them and provide for all their needs.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Carols, remember that God is faithful so continue to give thanks in prayer to Jesus Christ. Continue, "rejoicing in hope; enduring in troubles; continuing steadfastly in prayer" Romans 12:12. As well pray for your father's healing by the stripes of Jesus Christ, Isaiah 53:5, "But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed." That is the true healing from Jesus Christ who paid on the cross. Lastly, keeping His commandments and doing things His way is a sign of loving Him. When we go to the Father in prayer and in Jesus's name, we show our love for Him and His will is done in our hearts. That is the love demonstrated by actions.
