Lord Jesus, You healed so many people who came looking for it. You freed many people who asked for Your mercy and power to intervene in their lives. I pray tonight that SIL comes looking for healing so that You may heal her. And that she asks for Your mercy and power to break through strongholds. She doesn’t need to know all the details; she just needs to acknowledge her need for you.

But this is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word. Isaiah 66:2b

You do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions. James 4:2b-3

Do you suppose it is to no purpose that the scripture says, “He yearns jealously over the spirit he has made to dwell in us? But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” James 4:5-6

Jesus I ask that You bring SIL to the place where she can see herself in this. I pray that she humbles herself, puts down her desires to serve herself and to do things her way, and seeks to serve You in Your ways. I pray that she asks for Your healing and grace to be healed and set free in order to walk as the woman of God You made her to be – a woman after Your own heart.

In Your Merciful Name,

Amen
