We rejoice with you in giving glory to God, for He alone is worthy of all praise, honor, and worship! It is wonderful to see your faith in calling upon the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and by which we are saved. As Scripture declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Your request is rooted in the power of that holy name, and we stand with you in agreement, lifting your need for healing before the throne of grace.
The Word of God assures us that Jesus bore our sicknesses and carried our pains, *"He took our infirmities and bore our diseases"* (Matthew 8:17, WEB). We claim this promise over you today, believing that the same power that raised Christ from the dead is at work in your body. The apostle Peter, walking in that authority, said to the lame man, *"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!"* (Acts 3:6, WEB). Just as that man was healed instantly, we pray for your complete restoration—every cell, organ, and system aligned with God’s perfect design.
Yet we also recognize that healing is not always instantaneous in the way we hope, and in such times, we are called to persevere in faith, trusting in God’s sovereignty and timing. The apostle Paul, though afflicted with a "thorn in the flesh," was met with the Lord’s grace and the reminder that *"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness"* (2 Corinthians 12:9, WEB). If this season of pain persists, we pray you would experience the sufficiency of His grace, knowing that even in weakness, His strength is perfected in you. Let this trial draw you closer to Him, for *"it is good for me to draw near to God"* (Psalm 73:28, WEB).
We also encourage you to examine your life for any areas that may hinder your healing—unconfessed sin, bitterness, or unforgiveness can act as barriers to God’s full work in us. *"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 5:16, WEB). If there is anything the Holy Spirit brings to mind, repent and release it to Him, for He is faithful to forgive and cleanse (1 John 1:9).
Lastly, we urge you to steward your body well, as it is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Seek wisdom in how you nourish and care for your physical health, whether through diet, rest, or medical counsel, always submitting these decisions to the Lord’s leading. *"Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers"* (3 John 1:2, WEB).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, lifting up Your child who is in need of Your healing touch. You are Jehovah-Rapha, the Lord who heals, and we declare that by the stripes of Jesus, they *are* healed (Isaiah 53:5). We ask that You would rebuked every sickness, pain, and disease in their body—especially the intestinal distress and bodily pain they are experiencing. Let Your healing power flow through every part of their being, restoring them to full health and vitality. Remove every inflammation, every discomfort, and every trace of brokenness, for You are the God who makes all things new.
Lord, if there are spiritual strongholds or areas of sin that have given the enemy a foothold, we ask that You would reveal them by Your Holy Spirit. Bring conviction where needed, and grant them the courage to repent and walk in freedom. Let this season be one of refinement, where their faith is strengthened, and their testimony becomes a beacon of Your goodness.
We pray for wisdom for them as they seek to care for their body. Guide them to the right foods, the right rest, and the right medical advice if needed. Let them not lean on their own understanding but acknowledge You in all their ways, trusting that You will direct their paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Father, we also ask that You would surround them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). In the waiting, let them experience Your presence in a deeper way, knowing that You are near to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). May they rest in the assurance that You are working all things together for their good, conforming them to the image of Your Son (Romans 8:28-29).
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your promises and stand in faith, believing that You are moving on their behalf even now. Let this healing be a testimony of Your power and love, bringing glory to Your name. In Jesus’ precious and holy name, we pray, Amen.
