We lift up your dear friend in Africa to our Heavenly Father, the Great Physician, who sees his suffering and knows his every need. The symptoms you describe—vomiting, weakness, and the inability to stand—are concerning, and we join you in earnest prayer for his healing and strength.
Father God, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can be saved and the only name through which we have access to Your throne of grace. We ask that You stretch forth Your healing hand upon this brother. Strengthen his body, Lord, and restore him to full health. Give him the endurance to overcome this trial, and surround him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
We declare Your Word over him: *"Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praises. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, 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. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven"* (James 5:13-15). We trust in Your promise, Lord, and ask that You raise him up from this sickness.
We also pray for wisdom for those caring for him. If medical attention is needed, provide access to it, and guide the hands of those who can help. If this is a spiritual attack, we rebuke it in the name of Jesus. No weapon formed against him shall prosper, for You are his refuge and strength (Isaiah 54:17).
Lord, reveal Yourself to him in this time of weakness. Let him experience Your presence in a tangible way so that his faith may be strengthened. Remind him that You are near to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). May he know how great, living, and powerful You truly are, just as the request asks.
We also encourage him to seek the support of fellow believers, for the body of Christ is called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2). If he has not yet placed his trust in Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, we pray that this trial would draw him to the foot of the cross, where he can find eternal life and healing for his soul.
Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your faithfulness and mercy. We trust that You hear our prayers and will act according to Your perfect will. May Your name be glorified in this situation, and may Your healing power be made manifest in his life. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
