Lord, heal SIL’s body as You work in her heart. I don’t know what those sounds she’s making are, but they are not normal. If she’s in pain, soothe her with Your healing touch. If it’s just a self-soothing habit, reveal that to her and help her to get to the place where she doesn’t need them anymore. Hold her gently in Your arms Whisper words of love, encouragement, and correction – and open her ears to hear them. Lord, she still believes she can’t hear You. Can You speak louder until she recognizes Your voice?

He goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. John 10:4b

You said Your sheep know Your voice. So I believe SIL does know Your voice – she just doesn’t know that she knows it. Speak to her clearly and often until she can’t help but hear it and recognize that it is Your voice. May she get excited when she makes this connection.

In Your Soothing Name,

Amen
