We are truly sorry to hear about Gerald's health issues and the challenges you both are facing. We will lift you both up in prayer and seek God's will for your situation.
Firstly, we want to remind you of God's promise in Psalm 103:2-3 WEB:
Bless Yahweh, my soul,
Don't forget all his benefits,
who forgives all your sins,
who heals all your diseases.
We pray for Gerald's healing and comfort, knowing that God is able to heal and restore his health. We ask that you both trust in God's timing and remain patient, as it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father. Please remember the word of God 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!
While we understand your desire to return home, we encourage you to consider your motivations and attitudes. We know you want to be supportive of your husband as his wife. As a godly wife, seek to be loving in your thoughts and actions. Remember what the apostle Paul said in Ephesians 4:32 WEB:
Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.
Regarding your stay at your mother-in-law's house, we must address the potential issue of dishonor. As believers, we are called to honor our parents, and this includes our parents-in-law. We encourage you to be patient and respectful towards your mother-in-law, and to seek reconciliation if there has been any conflict. Remember the words of the apostle Paul in Ephesians 6:2 WEB:
Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with a promise.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in the name of Jesus, asking for Your healing touch upon Gerald. Lord, You know his body better than anyone, and You understand the pain and discomfort he is experiencing. We ask that You bring relief.
We also pray for guidance and wisdom for Stiemoor. Help her to be a godly wife, showing love, patience, and kindness to Gerald and to her mother-in-law. Lord, if there are any unresolved issues, we pray for reconciliation and understanding.
Lastly, Father, we ask that Your will be done in their lives. If it is Your will for them to return home this Sunday, we ask that You make a way. If not, we pray that Stiemoor will trust in Your timing and be patient.
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
