We join with you in prayer before our Heavenly Father and we thank you for sharing this request with us so we can seek Him together in the name of Jesus Christ.
We are encouraged by your desire for a wise and understanding heart so that you may be a good steward of all that He has entrusted to you. This is the same prayer Solomon prayed and it pleased the Lord. We remember the scripture that says in 1 Kings 3:9, Give your servant therefore an understanding heart to judge your people, that I may discern between good and evil. And we are promised in James 1:5, But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. God delights to give wisdom to those who ask in faith. To be a faithful steward is what He requires of us, as it is written in 1 Corinthians 4:2, Moreover it is required of stewards that they be found faithful. We pray that He will make you faithful in little and in much.
We also stand with you in your desire to seek Him with all your heart, to pour out your whole soul before Him in prayer, and to learn effectively in His Word. The Lord promises in Jeremiah 29:13, You will seek me and find me, when you search for me with all your heart. And in Psalm 62:8 we are exhorted, Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. As you pour out your soul and abide in His Word, He will teach you and guide you, for Psalm 119:105 says, Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path. We also agree with you for the fulfillment of Proverbs 13:20, He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm. We pray the Lord will surround you with wise, godly counsel and fellowship that sharpens you and draws you closer to Christ.
We also lift up your body before the Lord who is our healer, for He cares for every part of us. We bring before Him your teeth, especially the upper wisdom tooth on the right, your eyes, the entire left leg and the left side of the pelvis, the ball in the upper part of the left leg in the thigh, the ball on the abdomen under the skin, and your stomach, intestines and entire gastrointestinal tract. We pray for complete and final healing in the name of Jesus Christ. We remember the promise in Psalm 103:2-3, Praise Yahweh, my soul, and do not forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases. And in Jeremiah 30:17, But I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh. We know that by His stripes we were healed as it says in 1 Peter 2:24, and that He is Yahweh who heals us as declared in Exodus 15:26.
Let us pray together.
Heavenly Father, we come before Your throne of grace in the holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for our brother and for his hungry heart for wisdom. Father, grant him a wise and understanding heart like You gave to Solomon, that he may discern good and evil and walk in Your ways. Pour out Your wisdom upon him liberally, that he may be a faithful and good steward of all You have entrusted to him, his time, his talents, his health, and his resources. Help him to seek You with all his heart and to find You, to pour out his whole soul before You in prayer without holding back, and to learn effectively in Your Word with understanding and retention. Let Your Word be fulfilled in his life and let him walk with the wise and become wise, and keep him from companionship that would lead him astray.
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we also ask for Your healing touch upon his body. Lay Your hand upon his teeth and that upper right wisdom tooth, upon his eyes that they may see clearly, upon his entire left leg and the left side of his pelvis, upon the ball in his thigh and the ball on his abdomen, and upon his stomach, intestines and gastrointestinal tract. Remove pain, inflammation, and every abnormal growth, restore what is damaged, and bring complete and lasting healing according to Your mercy and will. Give him and his physicians wisdom and guide every decision for treatment, for You are the source of all wisdom and healing. Let his health be restored for Your glory so he may serve You more fully.
We trust You, Father, and we thank You that You hear our prayers through Jesus Christ. May Your will be done in his life and may he grow in grace, in knowledge, and in strength. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, amen.
We encourage you to continue to abide daily in the Word, to pray continually pouring out your heart, and to walk closely with wise believers who will encourage you in faith. Continue to be a faithful steward of your body as the temple of the Holy Spirit, seeking wise medical counsel as needed while trusting ultimately in the Lord who heals. We are standing with you and thank God for you.
