Lord, just when I’m ready to give up, SIL does something to show that she’s trying and it’s just enough for me not to give up. I don’t see it, but I know You are working to bring her to completeness. I pray that as she responds to You, as she takes these small steps, that she is not discouraged by anything I do. I admit I don’t want a place in her healing. It’s hard, discouraging at times, and wearying. But if that’s where You call me, that’s where I’ll be – blessing and praying for SIL.

From the same mouth come blessing and a curse. My brothers, these things ought not to be. James 3:10

By the God of your father who will help you, by the Almighty who will bless you, will blessings of heaven above, blessing of the deep that crouches beneath, blessings of the breasts and of the womb. Genesis 49:25

Lord, You are the God of our fathers, the Almighty one. I pray that You bless SIL with the pure and holy blessings of heaven above, and with the deeper, healing blessings in the places in her that crouch below the surface. I pray that You bless her with nurturing and nourishing blessings like a baby at her mother’s breasts, and blessings of restoration to the woman You created in her mother’s womb.

In Your Most Blessed Name,

Amen
