We come before the Father with grateful hearts, lifting up this precious daughter who is suffering from gallbladder pain. How tenderly our Heavenly Father cares for His children, and we know He hears the cries of those in distress. The Scriptures remind us in James 5:14-15, *"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 claim this promise today, trusting in God’s power to bring healing and relief.
Yet we also recognize that suffering, though painful, can be used by God to draw us closer to Him, to refine our faith, and to remind us of our dependence on His strength. The Apostle Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, *"He has said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me. Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong."* May this daughter—and all of us—find strength in Christ even in this time of physical weakness.
We also commend this father’s humility in bringing this request before the Lord. It is a beautiful thing to see a parent intercede for their child with faith and gratitude. Let us remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 7:7-8, *"Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened."* We ask boldly, knowing that our Heavenly Father delights in giving good gifts to His children.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of faith, lifting up this daughter who is experiencing pain in her gallbladder. Lord, You are the Great Physician, the One who formed her body and knows every cell, every need. We ask that You would touch her with Your healing hand, bringing relief from this pain and restoring her body to full health. If there is any underlying cause—whether physical, spiritual, or emotional—we pray that You would reveal it and bring complete healing.
Father, we thank You that this request is brought before You in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to Your throne of grace. There is no other name by which we can be saved, no other name through which we can approach You with confidence. We praise You for the sacrifice of Jesus, who bore our sins and our sicknesses on the cross, that we might be made whole. By His stripes, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5), and we stand on that promise today.
We also pray for this father, who humbly seeks Your intervention. Strengthen his faith, Lord, and fill him with Your peace as he waits on You. Remind him that You are a good Father, who cares deeply for His children and works all things together for their good (Romans 8:28).
Lord, if there is any sin in this daughter’s life—known or unknown—that could be hindering her healing, we ask that You would convict her by Your Holy Spirit and lead her to repentance. Your Word tells us in Psalm 66:18, *"If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened."* So we pray for a clean heart and a right spirit before You, that nothing would stand in the way of Your healing power.
We also ask for wisdom for the doctors and medical professionals involved in her care. Guide their hands and their decisions, Lord, that they may provide the best treatment and bring glory to Your name through their work.
Finally, Father, we thank You in advance for the healing You are going to bring. We trust in Your timing and Your ways, even when we don’t understand them. May this trial draw this family closer to You and strengthen their faith in Your goodness.
We pray all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, to whom belongs all glory, honor, and power forever and ever. Amen.
