We lift up your dear aunt before the Lord, knowing that He is the Great Physician and the One who holds all things in His hands. The Scriptures remind us in James 5:14-15, *"Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up."* We stand in faith, trusting that God hears our prayers and can bring healing and restoration.
It is also written in Psalm 34:17-19, *"The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all."* Your aunt’s condition may seem dire, but our God is greater than any sickness or weakness of the body. He can sustain her even now, providing strength where there is none and hope where there seems to be little.
We also encourage you to call upon the name of Jesus Christ specifically in your prayers, for it is written in John 14:13-14, *"Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."* There is power in the name of Jesus, and it is through Him alone that we approach the throne of grace with confidence. If you have not already placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so, for *"there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this precious aunt who is in such a critical condition. Lord, You are the God who heals, the One who breathes life into our bodies and sustains us by Your power. We ask that You would touch her body right now, restoring her strength and appetite. Give wisdom and skill to the doctors and nurses attending to her, and let Your healing virtue flow through her. Lord, if it is Your will, raise her up in health and wholeness so that she may testify to Your goodness and mercy.
We also pray for her family during this difficult time. Comfort their hearts, Lord, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Remind them that You are near to the brokenhearted and that You hold each of their lives in Your hands. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and let them feel Your presence in a tangible way.
Father, we know that all things work together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28). Even in this trial, may Your name be glorified, and may Your will be done. We trust You, Lord, and we thank You in advance for the miracles You are working, both seen and unseen.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
