We join you in lifting up your son before our Heavenly Father and we thank you for bringing this need to the Lord in the name of Jesus, for it is through Him that we have access to the throne of grace.
We know how distressing it is to watch a child struggle to breathe, especially in the heat, and we stand with you asking for the Lord's healing touch upon his lungs and airways. Scripture reminds us of God's heart to heal and restore, for we read in Psalm 103:2-3, Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases. And in Jeremiah 30:17, But I will restore you to health, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh. We also remember that every breath is a gift from Him, as Job 33:4 tells us, The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
We pray together for him now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ and we lift up this beloved son to You. You know his lungs, his airways, and every cell in his body, for You formed him. We ask that You would touch him with Your healing hand and bring relief from COPD and asthma. We ask that You remove all inflammation, cleanse any infection, and strengthen his immune system to fight off all illness and viruses. Lord, ease his breathing, especially in this heat, and let his breath come freely and without struggle. We ask for Your peace to guard his heart and his family’s hearts, and for wisdom for his doctors and caregivers. We trust in Your power and Your love, and we claim Your promise in Isaiah 41:10, Don’t you 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. Let Your will be done in his life and let Your name be glorified through his healing and strength. We thank You, Father, for all You do for us and for hearing our prayers. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
We encourage you to continue to trust the Lord daily for his care, to keep seeking wise medical counsel as the Lord provides healing both through His direct touch and through the skill He gives to physicians, and to rest in the assurance that He hears every prayer offered in Jesus’ name. As James 5:15 reminds us, the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. We will keep praying with you for clear lungs, easy breathing, and renewed strength.
