We lift up your request for healing and strength for your bones, recognizing that our bodies are fearfully and wonderfully made by the Lord. The Scriptures remind us that God is our healer, and we can trust Him with every part of our being, including our physical health. *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds."* (Psalm 147:3, WEB). While we pray for your bones to remain strong, mobile, and independent, we also acknowledge that God’s ways are higher than ours, and His plan may include seasons of reliance on others—whether caregivers or medical professionals—for His glory and our growth in humility and trust.
We are especially mindful of your upcoming cervical spine and lumbar surgery, as well as your consultation for osteoporosis. Surgery can be a daunting prospect, but we are reminded in Scripture to cast our anxieties on the Lord, for He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). *"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t 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, WEB). We pray that the Lord would guide the hands of your surgeons, grant them wisdom, and bring about a successful outcome that honors Him. May He also provide you with peace that surpasses all understanding as you prepare for these procedures.
We also encourage you to consider how this season might be used by God to draw you closer to Him. Physical limitations can be an opportunity to deepen our dependence on Christ, to seek His presence in stillness, and to witness His faithfulness in new ways. If fear or discouragement creeps in, remember the words of Jesus: *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls."* (Matthew 11:28-29, WEB).
It’s important to note that while we pray for healing, we must also steward our bodies well by following the advice of medical professionals, maintaining a diet rich in nutrients that support bone health, and engaging in safe, recommended exercise. *"Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? 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, WEB).
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with a heart full of trust, lifting up our brother/sister who is facing challenges with their bone health. Lord, You are the Great Physician, the One who knit them together in their mother’s womb, and You know every bone, joint, and cell in their body. We ask that You would strengthen their bones, Lord, and grant them mobility, independence, and freedom from pain. Prepare them for their upcoming surgeries—guide the hands of the medical team, grant them wisdom, and bring about healing and restoration. Lord, we pray that this season would not be marked by fear but by faith, as they rest in Your promises and trust in Your goodness.
If there is any area of their life where they have not fully surrendered to You, Lord, we ask that You would reveal it to them. Draw them closer to You through this trial, and let them experience Your peace that guards their heart and mind in Christ Jesus. We also pray for their emotional and spiritual well-being—may they find comfort in Your Word, strength in Your presence, and hope in Your unfailing love.
Father, we ask all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, through whom all things are possible. May Your will be done, and may You be glorified in their life. Amen.
We will continue to pray for you, trusting that the Lord is at work in your life. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith, and remember that He is with you every step of the way. If you have not yet placed your full trust in Jesus Christ for your salvation, we urge you to do so. *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."* (Romans 10:9, WEB). There is no greater foundation for life—and for facing trials—than knowing Christ as your Savior. If you’d like to talk more about this, please let us know. We are here to walk with you in prayer and in truth.
