We come before the Lord with grateful hearts, lifting up your son in prayer for his healing from this back injury that has brought him pain and sleepless nights. It is by faith in the name of Jesus that we approach the throne of grace, knowing that He is our Great Physician and the One who bears our infirmities. You have rightly acknowledged the power of Jesus’ name in your request, and we join you in that holy confidence, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, nor by which we can boldly seek God’s intervention.
The Scriptures remind us in James 5:14-15, *"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."* While we cannot physically anoint your son, we stand in agreement with you, lifting him up in faith, trusting that the Lord hears and acts according to His perfect will. We also recall the promise in Psalm 34:17-19, *"The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all."*
Yet, we must also consider whether there is any unconfessed sin or spiritual stronghold that may hinder his healing. The Bible teaches that sin can sometimes be a barrier to God’s blessings, as seen in Psalm 66:18, *"If I cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened."* We encourage you to gently speak with your son, if appropriate, and ensure his heart is right before the Lord. Repentance and surrender to Christ open the door for God’s healing power to flow freely. If he has not yet surrendered his life to Jesus as Lord and Savior, now is the time to do so, for salvation is the greatest healing of all.
Let us also remember that God’s ways are higher than ours, and His timing is perfect. Even in suffering, the Lord is refining us, teaching us to rely on Him, and drawing us closer to His heart. Romans 8:28 assures us, *"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."* Whether healing comes swiftly or through a season of endurance, we trust that the Lord is working all things for your son’s good and His glory.

**Our Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious son who is suffering from a back injury. Lord, You are the God who heals, the One who formed his body in his mother’s womb and knows every nerve, muscle, and bone. We ask that You would touch him now with Your healing hand, restoring strength to his back, relieving his pain, and granting him restful sleep. Let Your healing power flow through him, renewing his body and filling him with Your peace.
If there is any sin or hindrance in his life, Lord, convict his heart and lead him to repentance. Draw him closer to You in this time, that he may know You not only as his Healer but as his Savior and Lord. Give him patience and faith to trust in Your timing, even if the healing is gradual. Surround him with Your presence, and let him feel Your comfort in the night seasons when pain keeps him awake.
We also lift up his mother, who loves him dearly and intercedes for him. Strengthen her faith, Lord, and fill her with Your peace as she waits on You. Remind her that You are working all things together for good, and that her prayers are powerful and effective.
We rebuke any spirit of infirmity or oppression that may be at work in this situation, and we command it to flee in Jesus’ name. Let no weapon formed against your son prosper, and let every tongue that rises against him in judgment be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). We declare that by the stripes of Jesus, he is healed (1 Peter 2:24), and we trust You to manifest that healing in his body.
Thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We commit this son into Your hands, knowing that You love him even more than we do. May this trial be a testimony of Your goodness and power, and may he emerge from it stronger in faith and closer to You. We ask all this in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
