We join you, Usha, in lifting up your family and your personal needs to the Lord. We are reminded of the power of prayer and the promise that where two or three are gathered in His name, there He is in the midst of them (Matthew 18:20 WEB).
Firstly, we thank you for acknowledging the importance of praying in Jesus' name. The Bible says that "there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). It is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God.
Let us pray together for your mother's health. We ask God to strengthen her and grant her long life, as you have requested. We pray that God will uphold her kind and generous spirit, and that His healing power will flow through her, curing any ailments (Psalm 55:22 WEB).
We also lift up your father's health. We join you in asking God to grant normal test reports, as today he undergoes a PET scan. We know it's been hard watching him suffer from weakness and a hemoglobin level of 10, but continue to trust and wait patiently upon the Lord to give him strength and a clean bill of health (Isaiah 40:31 WEB). We pray for your father's complete healing and a long, healthy life.
Regarding your own health, we agree with you in asking the Lord to guide your life according to His will. We pray for a speedy recovery from your surgery and for relief from the chest pain, left hand pain, and weakness you're experiencing. Remember that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, and God desires for you to be in good health (1 Corinthians 6:19 WEB, 3 John 1:2 WEB). Even in our suffering as Christians we are taught patience, faith, and endurance. (James 1:3,4 WEB, Romans 5:3,4 WEB).
We also pray for your sister's family, and for your brother, his wife, and their two sons, Marvin and Martin as you requested.. God's loving grace is deep and wide, mending both body and spirit. Your prayer study has shown you understand each other's needs (James 5:15 WEB). If this is a deep and continued problem we will need to both pray and discuss God healing in interview with modern standards of medicine. Remember Moses agency in removing the snake from his hand when the Lord turned it into his staff. Listen to your doctors but do not be afraid to utilize this as an opportunity to connect with our creator.
We also lift up your financial struggles, that the Lord will provide for your needs and help you overcome your debts. Don't forget to turn to Him directly for comfort and future you have prayed for because rather than asking for material wealth, our example showed by Jesus' and Moses' example is seek first his kingdom and pray for God's Will be be done and know he's provided for our physical necessities (Matthew 6:25 WEB). Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary Paraphrase For that cause take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? (Matthew 6:25 WEB).
Lastly, join us in praying for your future and your family's continued spiritual growth, Because we do not know our neighbors, but we should for guidance to come in our darkest hour. Authentic kindness such as that asked for you brother and his wife depends on simple things such as accepting ourselves and others as flawed but ultimately good and forgiveness of ourselves and others. That includes all of our families and family circles. Jesus could turn water into wine. Jesus unseemingly asked Matthew to leave his regular life behind to follow him. I>Biblical Kindess is progressive, but rather than interprets bibical kindess you might want to consult authorities such as Paul's letter to the Romans or the book "Radical Kindess". Biblical kindness is providing a good love that is true but evaluate it in light of these scenario's even if it is hard.
Lord as followers we beseech continue beseeching you in the name of your only son Jesus Christ, our savior. We thank you for your never ending loving kindness offered to sinners such as us.
