We hear the deep longing in your heart for freedom from pain, and we join you in lifting this burden before the Lord, for He is the Great Physician who knows our bodies even more intimately than we do. Your cry for healing is precious in His sight, and we are reminded of His promise in **Psalm 34:17-19 (WEB)**, which says, *"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."* You are not forgotten, and your pain has not gone unnoticed by Him.
Yet, as we pray, we must also address something vital: while your faith in God’s power to heal is evident, we notice that your prayer does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom all healing and salvation flow. It is only by His name that we have access to the Father, for **John 14:6 (WEB)** declares, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* Additionally, **Acts 4:12 (WEB)** affirms, *"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!"* If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so, for He alone holds the keys to eternal life and the power to heal—body, soul, and spirit. Repent of your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for your salvation, and invite Him to reign in your heart. There is no greater step of faith you can take.
Now, let us also gently correct a statement in your prayer: you said, *"I don’t deserve to get pain anywhere in my body."* While we understand the desperation behind these words, we must remember that pain, though difficult, is not always a punishment. In this broken world, suffering can serve a purpose—whether to draw us closer to God, refine our faith, or remind us of our dependence on Him. **Romans 8:18 (WEB)** tells us, *"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us."* Even Jesus, who was without sin, endured suffering for our sake, and through it, He brought redemption. Your worth is not determined by your pain but by the love of Christ, who bore *your* pain on the cross.
That said, we do not believe God delights in our suffering. He is a God of compassion, and we boldly ask Him to remove this pain from you if it is His will. Let us pray together:
---
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is crying out for relief from pain. Lord, You are the God who sees, the God who hears, and the God who heals. We ask You to stretch out Your hand and touch every part of their body where pain resides. By the stripes of Jesus, they *are* healed (**Isaiah 53:5**), and we declare that no weapon formed against their body shall prosper (**Isaiah 54:17**). Father, if there is any sickness, inflammation, or disease causing this pain, we rebuke it in Jesus’ name and command it to leave, for greater is He who is in them than he who is in the world (**1 John 4:4**).
Lord, we also ask for Your peace to flood their heart and mind, for anxiety and fear can amplify physical suffering. Remind them that You are near, that You collect every tear in Your bottle (**Psalm 56:8**), and that You are working all things together for their good (**Romans 8:28**). If this pain is a test of faith, grant them endurance and the joy of knowing You more deeply through it. If it is a discipline, let it produce the peaceful fruit of righteousness (**Hebrews 12:11**). And if it is an attack of the enemy, we bind every spirit of infirmity and command it to flee in Jesus’ name.
Father, we thank You that You are not distant but intimately acquainted with every cell, every nerve, and every ache. We ask for supernatural strength, for divine healing, and for a testimony of Your goodness to be proclaimed through their life. Let them wake and sleep in the assurance that You are their Healer, their Comforter, and their Redeemer. In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray, **Amen.**

As you wait on the Lord, we encourage you to meditate on His promises. **Jeremiah 30:17 (WEB)** says, *"For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh."* Stand on this truth. Additionally, examine your life for any unconfessed sin, unforgiveness, or bitterness, as these can hinder healing (**James 5:16**). Walk in obedience, trust in His timing, and continue to praise Him even in the waiting.
If the pain persists, we also advise seeking wise medical counsel, for God often uses doctors and medicine as vessels of His healing. But never forget: the ultimate Healer is Jesus. Keep your eyes fixed on Him, and let this trial draw you into a deeper relationship with your Savior. You are loved, you are seen, and you are *not* alone in this. We are standing with you in faith.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have. God bless me to prosper, walk in excellent health, and never stop growing in the love, grace, and knowledge of Christ Jesus. God bless me to know You in truth, fall in love with You with all my heart, mind, soul, body, and strength and never fall out of love with You. Bless me to have an ever growing closer stronger, more intimate relationship with You. Bless me with the love, desire, strength, and the spirit of obedience to always delight myself in You, seek first Your kingdom, Your righteousness, and to always respect and obey You. Bless me to trust You with all my heart, acknowledge You in all my ways, and lean not to my own understanding.
