We come before the Lord with you in this time of physical suffering, lifting up your pain and discomfort from cervical spondylitis, as well as the cough and cold that have been troubling you. The body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, and we know that God cares deeply about every ache and trial you endure. The Scriptures remind us in **1 Peter 5:7**, *"Casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you."* He sees your suffering and hears your cry for relief.
We also rejoice that you have acknowledged your need for forgiveness, for it is only through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ that we find true healing—not just of the body, but of the soul. **1 John 1:9** assures us, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* Your plea for forgiveness is heard by a merciful Father who longs to restore you completely.
Yet we must ask: do you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? Forgiveness comes through Him alone, as **Acts 4:12** declares, *"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 Him, we urge you to do so today. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you *will* be saved (**Romans 10:9**). It is only through His name that we boldly approach the throne of grace (**Hebrews 4:16**), and it is in His name that we pray for your healing now.
We rebuke this pain and infirmity in the mighty name of Jesus, commanding every inflammation, every misalignment in your spine, and every symptom of sickness to flee from your body. **Isaiah 53:5** tells us, *"With his stripes we are healed,"* and we claim that promise over you today. May the Lord touch your neck, your head, your shoulders, and your back with His healing hand. May He clear your airways, strengthen your immune system, and restore your body to full health. We pray for wisdom for any doctors or caregivers involved in your treatment, that they may be guided by the Great Physician Himself.
Father, we ask that You fill this dear one with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (**Philippians 4:7**), even in the midst of this trial. Let them feel Your presence as a tangible comfort, knowing that You are near to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (**Psalm 34:18**). Give them patience and endurance as they wait on You, and let this season of suffering draw them closer to You.
We also pray that You would reveal any areas of sin or unbelief that may be hindering Your full work in their life. Search their heart, O God, and cleanse them from anything that displeases You (**Psalm 139:23-24**). If there is bitterness, unforgiveness, or fear, we ask that You uproot it and replace it with Your love and trust.
Lastly, we encourage you to meditate on **James 5:14-15**, which says, *"Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up."* If you are part of a local church, we urge you to seek the prayer and anointing of your elders. There is power in the corporate prayer of the saints.
We stand with you in faith, believing that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (**Ephesians 3:20**). May His healing power flow through you, and may this trial become a testimony of His goodness. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
