We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this request for healing from degenerative disc disease and sciatica. Father God, we know that You are the Great Physician, the One who knit us together in our mothers’ wombs (Psalm 139:13) and who holds every part of our bodies in Your hands. Your Word declares in Jeremiah 30:17, "For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh." We stand on this promise today, believing that You are able to bring restoration and relief to this suffering.
Lord, we ask that You would touch this dear one’s body with Your healing power. Where there is pain, bring comfort. Where there is inflammation, bring soothing relief. Where there is weakness, restore strength. We declare that by the stripes of Jesus, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5), and we claim that truth over this situation. Father, we also pray for wisdom for the doctors and healthcare providers involved—guide their hands and their decisions as they seek to bring care and treatment.
We also lift up the emotional and spiritual toll that chronic pain can take. Lord, when the days feel long and the nights restless, remind this beloved child of Yours that You are near to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and let them sense Your presence in the midst of the struggle.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of infirmity in Jesus’ name. We declare that this body is a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), and we command every cell, every nerve, and every disc to align with Your perfect design. We speak life and wholeness over this situation, trusting that You are working even when we cannot see it.
We also encourage this dear one to draw near to You in this season. Spend time in Your Word, for it is living and active (Hebrews 4:12), and let worship and prayer be a refuge. Lean on the body of Christ for support, for we are called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2). And remember, God is not just a healer—He is our strength in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9-10). Even in the waiting, He is working.
Lord, we thank You for the victory we have in Jesus Christ. We thank You that healing is already ours because of what He accomplished on the cross. We trust You to move mightily in this situation, and we give You all the glory. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
