We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up this dear brother who has endured so much with his spinal cord injury. Father God, we know that 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 the Great Physician who can bring complete healing to this sacrum wound.
Lord, we ask for Your miraculous touch to close this wound and restore healthy tissue. We pray against infection, against further breakdown of the skin, and against the need for surgery. Your word says in Psalm 147:3, "He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds." We claim this healing for our brother, asking that You would bind up this wound and make him whole.
We also lift up his spirit, Father. The years in a wheelchair have surely brought challenges, but we know that Your grace is sufficient. 2 Corinthians 12:9 reminds us, "He has said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.'" We pray that You would strengthen him with Your power and fill him with hope and joy in You.
We must also address the importance of coming to You in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father, as John 14:6 tells us, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" We pray that our brother knows Jesus as his Lord and Savior, and that he is covered by the blood of Christ.
Heavenly Father, we rebuke any spirit of infirmity or despair in the name of Jesus. We declare that by His stripes, our brother is healed (Isaiah 53:5). We speak life and health into his body, believing that You are working even now to bring about Your perfect will. May he experience Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and may his testimony bring glory to Your name.
We commit this prayer to You, trusting in Your mercy and love. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
