We stand with you in prayer, Edwin, as you lift up your wife Ana Ivis Hernandez Nerey and your marriage. Let's bring your concerns before the Lord, seeking His will according to His Word.
In times of illness and despair, it's essential to remind ourselves of God's faithfulness. As it is written in Psalm 112:7, "He will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord." We trust that God is aware of Ana's struggles with lupus, fibromyalgia, and liver cancer, and He cares for her deeply.
We also acknowledge your struggles, Edwin, as you support Ana through her illness and emotional turmoil. It is important to remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12). The enemy may be using Ana's illness to cause anger, depression, and confusion, aiming to divide your marriage. But we stand firm in the promise that "nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrowโnot even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love" (Romans 8:38, NLT).
Let us pray together:
"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Edwin and Ana. Lord, You know the struggles they are facing, and You care about their every need. We ask for Your healing touch upon Ana, that her body may be restored, and her spirit renewed. Give her strength to endure, and peace to calm her troubled heart.
Father, we also pray for Edwin, that You grant him wisdom and patience as he supports and loves his wife. Protect their marriage, Lord, and let unity and understanding prevail. Help them to communicate effectively, and to be a source of strength for one another.
We rebuke the spirit of anger, depression, and confusion that may be attacking their home. We proclaim that their marriage is built on the solid rock of Jesus Christ, and no storm can overcome it.
Lastly, Father, we ask that Edwin and Ana continue to draw near to You, seeking Your face together. May this trial strengthen their faith and bring them closer to You and to each other. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Edwin, continue to love and support Ana, as the Bible instructs husbands to love their wives just as Christ loved the church (Ephesians 5:25). Keep praying together, as a couple, and remain steadfast in your faith. Trust that God is working in your marriage and in Ana's life, even through this difficult time.
