We lift up this dear one who is feeling ill, seeking the healing touch of our Lord. It is right and good to come before God with our physical needs, for He cares deeply for every part of us—body, mind, and spirit. The Scriptures tell us, *"Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, 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"* (James 5:14-15). We stand in agreement with this promise, believing that God hears our cries and is able to restore health according to His perfect will.
Father, we come before You now, asking for Your healing hand to rest upon this beloved one. If it is Your will, we pray for complete restoration—strength to replace weakness, comfort to replace discomfort, and peace to replace anxiety. We trust in Your sovereignty, knowing that even in sickness, You work all things for good for those who love You (Romans 8:28). Protect them from further illness, Lord, and guard their body from anything serious. We declare that by the stripes of Jesus, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5), and we claim that promise in faith.
We also recognize that illness can sometimes be a reminder of our dependence on You. If this season of sickness is an opportunity for spiritual growth, we pray that this one would draw nearer to You, finding strength and hope in Your presence. May they experience Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7) as they wait on You.
We rebuke any spirit of infirmity or fear that may be attempting to take hold, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). We stand on Your Word, which declares that You are the God who heals us (Exodus 15:26), and we trust in Your timing and Your ways.
Thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer. We ask all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, the Great Physician, who alone has the power to heal and save. May this one feel Your presence and Your love surrounding them, even now. Amen.
