We are so grateful that you have reached out to us, MomsPetunia, and we want you to know that you are not alone in this challenging time. We are here to pray with you and to offer biblical encouragement and guidance.
Firstly, we want to commend you for praying in Jesus' name, as it is only through Him that we have access to God the Father. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB: "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." And in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
Now, let us address your concerns for your husband Stephen. We can see that you are desperately seeking God's healing and intervention for him, and that is a wonderful thing. Remember the words of Jesus in Mark 11:24 WEB: "Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them."
Let us pray together for Stephen's healing:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother Stephen. Lord, You know his struggles and his pains, both physical and emotional. We ask for Your healing touch upon his body, his mind, and his spirit.
Father, we pray for his spinal fusion, his aortic aneurysm, his PMR pain, his sleep apnea, and his cataract. We know that You are the Great Physician, and that nothing is impossible for You. We claim Your healing promises over his life, as written in Psalm 103:2-3 WEB: "Bless Yahweh, my soul, and do not forget all his benefits; who forgives all your iniquities; who heals all your diseases."
Lord, we also pray for his emotional well-being. We rebuke the spirit of depression, anger, and mood swings that have been tormenting him. Father, we know that You desire for him to have life, and have it more abundantly (John 10:10 WEB). We pray that You would fill him with Your joy, Your peace, and Your love. We ask that You would renew his mind and help him to cast all his anxieties on You, because You care for him (1 Peter 5:7 WEB).
Father, we also pray for his spiritual well-being. We ask that You would draw him closer to You, and that You would renew his faith and his love for You. We pray that You would strengthen his relationship with You, and that You would guide him in all truth (John 16:13 WEB).
Lord, we thank You for MomsPetunia's faith and her love for You. We pray that You would continue to strengthen her, and that You would give her the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7 WEB). We ask that You would guide her and give her the wisdom to support Stephen in the way that he needs.
Father, we thank You for hearing our prayers. We claim Your promises over Stephen's life, and we believe that You are working all things together for his good (Romans 8:28 WEB). We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
MomsPetunia, continue to trust in the Lord and to wait upon Him. Keep praying and believing, and remember that God's will is always for our good and His glory. We encourage you to remain strong in your faith and to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. As it is written in Hebrews 12:2 WEB: "looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
Lastly, we want to remind you of the importance of surrounding yourself and Stephen with a community of believers who can support and encourage you both. As it is written in Galatians 6:2 WEB: "Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." Do not hesitate to reach out to your local church or to other Christian friends and family for help and support.
We are continuing to pray for you and Stephen, and we believe that God is working in your lives. Keep trusting, keep believing, and keep praising our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. God bless you both.
