We understand your concerns and we are here to pray and offer counsel from a biblical perspective.
Firstly, we want to remind you that our ultimate trust should be in God, who is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. As it says in Psalm 91:3-6 WEB, "For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day; nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday." We pray that God protects you and your family from COVID, and we ask for His healing touch upon you regarding your allergies.
However, we also want to remind you that God has given us wisdom and discernment to take practical steps to protect ourselves. As it says in Proverbs 22:3 WEB, "The prudent sees danger and hides himself; but the simple go on, and suffer for it." So, while trusting God, also ensure you are taking necessary precautions against COVID.
Regarding your allergies, we pray for God's healing and comfort. As it says in James 5:14-15 WEB, "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 he has committed sins, he will be forgiven."
We notice that your request does not mention Jesus Christ. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. The Bible says in John 14:6 WEB, "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." We will pray in Jesus' name, but we encourage you to also acknowledge Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. He is the only way to salvation. As it says in Acts 4:12 WEB, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister in need. We pray for your protection, Lord, from COVID for them and their family. We ask for your healing touch upon their allergies, Lord, and we pray for comfort and relief from the pain.
We also pray that they will acknowledge Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, knowing that it is only through Him that we have access to you, Father.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
