We join you in lifting up your friend who is suffering from emphysema. It is encouraging to see your faith in the power of God's love and your trust in Jesus' name for your friend's healing. The Bible tells us:
"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. Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective." James 5:14-16 (WEB)
Let us pray together:
"Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus, seeking Your healing touch for our friend who is battling emphysema. You are the Great Physician, and we trust in Your power to heal and restore. Please ease his coughing, take away his exhaustion, and help him regain his strength. We pray that he would experience Your comfort and peace in his time of need.
We also pray for his emotional well-being. Lift his spirits, Lord, and help him not to be despondent. Give him the strength to endure and the hope to press on. We believe that Your love and grace can see him through this difficult time. In Jesus name, we ask for healing and will continue to pray as you are still on the throne. Amen."
We encourage you both to continue trusting in God's goodness and to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. Remember that even in trials, God is at work for our good and His glory.
"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28 (WEB)
Keep praying and trusting in the Lord. He is faithful, and His love never fails. If your friend has not done so, encourage them to call on the name of Jesus and invite Him to be their personal Lord and Savior. It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and eternal life.
