We join with you, ###, in lifting up your husband ### to the Lord in prayer, trusting in the power of Jesus' name for healing and restoration.
Let us first address this by this reminder of scripture. Philippians 4:6 WEB In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. This is the prescription for this prayer request. We should avoid anxiety but pray with thanksgiving.
We pray that God's will be done in ###'s life and in your life together. We ask for God's healing touch upon ###, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We know that God is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us (Ephesians 3:20 WEB).
We pray specifically for healing from sleep apnea, anger, and depression. We ask that ### will be given a spirit of obedience and wisdom to take his medications as required, especially his blood pressure medications, and to attend all medical appointments. We pray for the success of his treatments and for God's guidance and protection over his upcoming aortic aneurysm surgery.
We also pray for you, that God will grant you strength, patience, and wisdom to be supportive and loving during this challenging time. Remember the words of 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 WEB:
Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
We encourage you both to trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6. This is a common but very applicable verse for this situation.
We also encourage you both to attend church together, seeking fellowship with other believers and drawing closer to God. Hebrews 10:25 says not to forsake the gathering together just as the habit of some is and all the more as you see the day approaching.
Finally, we remind you that it is through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. It is through His sacrifice on the cross that we are saved and can approach God's throne with confidence. 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. Romans 10:13 Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
We stand with you in faith, believing that God is at work in your lives.
Lord Jesus, we ask for Your healing touch upon ###. Restore him physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Give him the strength and wisdom to take his medications and attend his appointments. Guide his upcoming surgery, and give peace and patience to ### as she supports him. Draw them both closer to You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
