Yes, we do believe in miracles, for we serve a God who is mighty to save and powerful to heal. Let us come together in prayer for your beloved friend, trusting in God's power and goodness, in Jesus' name.
Firstly, let us remind one another of God's promise in the scriptures, for Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Hebrews 13:8 WEB: Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
In the book of Acts, the Apostle Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of the prayer, the ninth hour and healed the man unable to walk from birth.
Acts 3:6-8 WEB: But Peter said, Silver and gold have I none, but what I have, that I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk. He took him by the right hand, and raised him up. Immediately his feet and his ankle bones received strength. Leaping up, he stood, and began to walk. He entered with them into the temple, walking, leaping, and praising God.
Let us pray together for your friend right now.
Dear Heavenly Father, we come to you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. We lift up our beloved brother who is suffering from this ailment. Lord, we ask for your healing touch upon his body. We curse this infirmity at the root, in Jesus' name. We pray for your divine intervention in his life, that you would bring complete healing and restoration. Give him the strength and grace to endure this trial. Fill him with your peace, comfort, and encouragement. Help him to look to you as his source of hope and strength. You are the God of miracles and we believe in your power to heal. Lord, we pray for your will to be done in his life. If it is your will, we ask that you would confound the wisdom of the doctors and bring a miracle of healing. Lord, help our friend to trust in you and be a living witness of your grace and mercy.
In tandem with prayer, encourage your friend with these words from the scripture:
Isaiah 41:10 WEB: Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not 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.
Psalm 34:17-18 WEB The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.
Remind him that God is able to do abundantly more than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us.
Ephesians 3:20 WEB: Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.
Finally, let us encourage your friend to keep his faith firmly in Jesus Christ, for it is by His stripes that we are healed.
1 Peter 2:24 WEB: who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.
When praying for healing, remember that God works through various means, including medicine and doctors. Trusting in God's healing power does not mean neglecting medical treatment. Rather, it is a combination of faith and practical action. It is also important to acknowledge that God's ways are not our ways, and His healing may come in various forms, including spiritual and emotional healing.
