Father God, I wish I knew where to start and how to pray right now, but I don’t. I thank You for the fact that Jesus is interceding 24/7. I thank You that when I only have groans Your Spirit speaks clearly.
I come to You today with a heart that aches for Your hand of healing. Joanne Heim is in need of Your touch. Please Lord come close and breathe new life over her. Right now.
Lord, You know her and love her with perfect, endless love. Your grace over her life is sufficient even now. You see her every breath. You watch over her night and day. You care about every detail of her life. You will not fail Your daughter for she is precious in Your sight. She is Your beloved. You sing over her with sweet melodies. You smile when You consider what You’ve created. Her faith pleases You. Her heart for her family is Your heart. Her love for her husband brings You great joy. The way she encourages others is a gift from You. Her love of words is from Your inspired pen. I praise You for Joanne’s life.
And Lord, I’m asking You to do a miracle healing for her. Allow her to open her eyes and respond to her family and the medical staff. Use this time of rest to restore her brain and body.
In the waiting we continue to praise You for You are always worthy. We continue to believe that You are able to do exceedingly above and beyond all we could hope or ask for. You are a restorer of the broken, our Comforter, our source of life and strength. You are healer, Jehovah-Rapha.
Please God, come and minister peace over her husband Toben and her children who gather around her in the hospital. Send signs of hope. Calm any fear they may have. Give them strength to love on Joanne during this time. Allow them to sleep during the night.
I pray a protective covering over all who love Joanne. Family and friends. Those around the world who are praying. This is hard to wait. I don’t even know Joanne personally, but You’ve given me a love for her. Thank You for burdening my heart to pray all day long.
Thank You for the gift of prayer. I believe You hear and answer in Your time.
Until then, we pray, wait and praise You.
We believe.
In Jesus name, Amen

I don’t know her either Tiffany, but He has put her on my heart very heavy. I find myself waking up and praying for her and praying for her before I sleep and at many times during the day. She and her whole family are so covered in prayer. This is a beautiful prayer that you wrote. Thank you.

I’ve been praying since I first heard of Joanne on Twitter last week. What a tragedy–BUT GOD can intervene, and I’m praying that in His mercy, He will.
Linking arms with you, Tiffany and agreeing with your prayer.
