We hear your cry and we join with you in prayer before our Heavenly Father, for we know you are suffering greatly and you are very scared. We bring your inflammation and your fear and your need for protection directly to the throne of grace together in Jesus name.
We want to gently share with you that you addressed your prayer to God, but you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. We want you to know how important this is, for it is only through Jesus that we have access to God and it is only by His name that we are saved. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6. There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. It is because Jesus died for our sins and rose again that we can come boldly to God and ask for healing and mercy. If you have not already, we encourage you to put your trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, for with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation Romans 10:9-10.
We know God sees your suffering and hears your begging for healing and safety. His word tells us He is our healer. Praise Yahweh, my soul, and do not forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases Psalm 103:2-3. He says, I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds Jeremiah 30:17, and He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds Psalm 147:3. We also know He is our protector. He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust Psalm 91:1-2. Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul. Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more Psalm 121:7-8.
We also hear your fear about making it through this week and about your eyesight. God does not want you to live in fear. For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control 2 Timothy 1:7. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:6-7. Do not fear, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness Isaiah 41:10.
So we pray together for you now.
Father in heaven, we lift up this dear one to You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. You see the inflammation causing such suffering and pain, and You know the fear that has taken hold. We ask in Jesus name that You would touch this body with Your healing hand and bring complete and permanent healing according to Your will. Lord, we ask You to calm the inflammation, to restore health, and to protect eyesight from any harm. Keep this precious one safe from all evil and danger, and let no harm come near. Guard their going out and coming in through this week and in the days to come. Replace fear with Your perfect peace that surpasses all understanding, and let them feel Your presence upholding them with Your righteous right hand. Help them to cast all their anxiety on You because You care for them. Give wisdom to any doctors or treatment involved and guide every step. Above all, draw them closer to Jesus, that they may know Him as Savior and Healer and Refuge. We ask all of this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
We encourage you to continue to bring every worry to God in Jesus name each day, to rest in His promises, and to seek wise medical care as God often works through those means as well. Keep trusting Him moment by moment, for He is near to those who are brokenhearted and He will never leave you nor forsake you.
