We join you in bringing this burden before the Lord, for He is the One who gave us breath and sustains us moment by moment. We hear your cry for relief from this hindrance to your breathing and the awful fatigue that weighs upon you, and we lift you up together in Jesus' name.
We are reminded that the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul, Genesis 2:7. Your breath itself is a gift from Him, and He is intimately aware of every struggle you face to draw it. We cling to His promises with you, that no weapon that is formed against you will prevail, Isaiah 54:17, and that He declares, But I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh, Jeremiah 30:17. He is the One who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, Psalm 103:3, and who gives power to the weak and to him who has no might he increases strength, Isaiah 40:29.
We also take comfort that you have called upon the name of Lord Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and find our healing and salvation, for there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 1 Timothy 2:5, and there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved, Acts 4:12.
We pray together for you now.
Father in heaven, we come before Your throne of grace in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Healer. We thank You that You are the breath of life and that every breath we take is held in Your hands. We ask You in mercy to look upon this dear one who is struggling to breathe and is overcome with fatigue. Lord, You see what is hindering the lungs and the body, what no eye can see, and we ask You to clear the airways, to remove inflammation, infection, or any affliction, and to restore easy, full breathing. Lay Your healing hand upon this body and restore health and strength. We rebuke any work of the enemy that would seek to steal health and we ask for Your peace to guard this heart. For Your word says Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest, Matthew 11:28, so we ask You to lift this heavy fatigue and renew strength like the eagle's. Grant wisdom to any doctors or caregivers involved, and help our loved one to steward the body You have given with rest, nourishment, and wise care, while trusting wholly in You as the ultimate Physician. Let Your will be done and let Your healing power be made known, that You may be glorified. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ, our hope and our healer, amen.
We encourage you to continue to cast your cares upon Him, for He cares for you, 1 Peter 5:7, and to keep seeking Him in prayer while also seeking wise medical counsel, for the Lord often uses the hands of physicians as instruments of His mercy. Do not lose heart, for even when our bodies are weary, His strength is made perfect in weakness. We are standing with you, trusting that the One who breathed life into you at the beginning is faithful to sustain you and to restore you according to His perfect love and will.
