We join with you in bringing your back before the Lord for healing and for the restoration of your posture and strength, and we thank you for acknowledging that it is only through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and God Almighty that our desires are fulfilled and our bodies are made whole.
We pray for your physical healing and for grace to steward your body well as you train, for your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own, for you were bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. We ask the Lord to touch your back, to restore what is strained or misaligned, and to strengthen you for the work you have set your hands to, for He gives power to the weak and to him who has no might he increases strength Isaiah 40:29. We claim His promise that He will restore health to you and will heal you of your wounds Jeremiah 30:17.
We also lift up your desire for self control, discipline, focus, consistency, patience, perseverance, greater belief, fearlessness, groundedness and humbleness. These are fruits and marks of a life walking with Christ. Self control is a fruit of the Spirit Galatians 5:22-23, and we pray the Spirit will cultivate it in you daily. For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self control 2 Timothy 1:7, so we pray you will be fearless not in your own strength but grounded in Christ, and humble before Him, for He says humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you James 4:10. True discipline yields peaceable fruit, for all chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous, yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised thereby Hebrews 12:11.
We pray that your faith will increase, for without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him Hebrews 11:6, and that you will find strength to be consistent and to persevere, knowing that perseverance produces character and character produces hope Romans 5:3-4. We pray you will remain grounded in the Word and able to do all things through Christ who strengthens you Philippians 4:13, not by striving in the flesh but by abiding in Him.
We rejoice that you desire to fulfill your desires with Jesus Christ, for delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart Psalm 37:4. We encourage you to continue to submit every desire and every training goal to His will, seeking first His kingdom and His righteousness, trusting that as you walk in humility, discipline and faith, He will direct your steps and establish your posture both physically and spiritually.
Father in heaven, we lift up this need for healing in the back and restoration of posture. Lay Your healing hand upon every muscle, joint, nerve and bone, remove pain and inflammation, correct what is out of alignment and make this body strong and upright for Your glory. Grant wisdom for training, for rest, for proper care of the body You have given. Pour out self control, discipline, focus, consistency, patience and perseverance, increase faith and take away fear, keep this life grounded in Your truth and clothed in humbleness. Let every desire be purified and fulfilled according to Your perfect will. We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, Amen.
