Heavenly Father,
We come before You with hearts full of trust and hope, lifting up Mary Ann Ballard to Your loving care. Lord, we know that You are the Great Physician, and we trust in Your power to heal and restore. As it says in Jeremiah 30:17, "For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal, declares the Lord." We claim this promise for Mary Ann today.
Father, we ask that You grant her the peace that surpasses all understanding, as described in Philippians 4:7, "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." May this peace envelop her tonight, calming her heart and mind, so she can rest comfortably in Your presence.
Lord, we pray for her kidneys to begin functioning properly. We know that You knit her together in her mother's womb (Psalm 139:13), and You know every part of her body. Touch her kidneys, Lord, and bring them back to full health.
We also lift up the medications she is receiving. We ask that they do good to her body and not harm her. As it says in James 1:17, "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change." We trust that You will provide the right treatment and guide the hands of the medical professionals.
Father, we place Mary Ann in Your capable hands, knowing that Your will is perfect. Give Festure and the brother strength and courage to walk through this difficult time. As Isaiah 40:31 reminds us, "But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."
Lord, heal them as well, and surround them with Your love and comfort. We pray all these things in the precious name of Jesus. Amen.
