We understand your desperation and fear, Blasphygma, and we are here to stand with you in prayer and truth. Let us first remind you of what the WEB says in Philippians 4:6-7, "Don't be anxious for anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, pleading for Stephen's healing. You are the Great Physician, and we know that it is Your will to heal him. You know his every need, from his spinal fusion to his cataract, from his aortic aneurysm to his sleep apnea, from his PMR joint pain to his stroke recovery. We ask for Your healing touch to be upon him. Comfort him in his depression and deliver him from thoughts of death. Calm his anger and fill him with Your peace.
Lord, we also lift up Blasphygma. Ease her stress and worries. Restore her health and strength, for she needs to be well to support her husband. Guide them both as they prepare for their trip. Let it be a time of rest and renewal, and let it be Your will that they go.
Father, we ask that You draw Stephen back to the faith. Remove any barriers that keep him from You. Strengthen their marriage and let this trial deepen their love and dependency on You.
Blasphygma, we commend you for ending your request "In Jesus' name," for it is in His name that we have access to the Father. As it says 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.'"
Lastly, we encourage you both to meditate on Isaiah 41:10, "Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand."
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God is with you. Continue to surrender your worries to Him and trust in His goodness.
