We join with you in this cry for healing and we bring your swelling before the Lord together, asking for His mercy and His curing touch once and for all according to His perfect will.
We are reminded how deeply God cares for our bodies as well as our souls, for we read in Psalm 103:2-3, Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don't forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases. And in Jeremiah 30:17 He says, But I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh. He is Yahweh who heals you as declared in Exodus 15:26, and we cling to the promise in 1 Peter 2:24, by whose stripes you were healed.
We notice your prayer was offered to God and said amen, yet did not mention the name of Jesus, and we gently want to share why we always pray in His name. It is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father and it is only by His name that we are saved. Jesus Himself said in John 14:6, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. And in Acts 4:12 we read, There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved. So we come boldly before God not on our own merit but through the shed blood and resurrection of Jesus, believing in Him as Lord and Savior, and that is how our prayers are heard.
We also encourage you while you wait on the Lord's healing to continue to seek wise medical care, for God often works through physicians and treatment, and we pray for wisdom for those caring for you, and for patience and peace as you trust Him.
Let us pray together.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ Your Son. We lift up this dear one to You who is suffering with swelling and we ask for Your healing hand to touch this body. Lord, You see the discomfort, the pain, the worry, and the longing to be cured once and for all. We ask that You would remove this swelling at its root cause, restore health, reduce inflammation, and bring complete wholeness if it be Your will. We pray for Your comfort and strength to sustain through each day, for Your peace that surpasses all understanding to guard heart and mind, and for faith to remain strong even while waiting. We ask that You guide doctors and provide wisdom for any treatment needed. Above all we pray that Your will be done and that through this trial Your name would be glorified and Your love made known. We thank You that You are compassionate and near to all who call upon You through Jesus. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, amen.
We will continue to keep you in our prayers, trusting that whether healing comes instantly, gradually, or through ongoing grace to endure, God hears us when we pray in Jesus name and He works all things for good for those who love Him. May the Lord bless you and keep you and give you peace as you rest in His care.
