We come before the Lord with hearts full of compassion for your suffering, knowing that He is the Great Physician who heals all our diseases. Shingles can bring not only physical pain but also weariness, yet we serve a God who is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. The Scripture reminds us in Psalm 103:2-3, *"Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits—who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases."* We claim this promise over you today, trusting in His power to restore your health and bring relief from the pain that has burdened you.
The apostle James also teaches us the power of prayer in faith for the sick: *"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"* (James 5:14-15). While we cannot anoint you with oil from afar, we lift you up in the name of Jesus, asking for His healing touch to flow through your body, bringing restoration to every nerve and cell affected by this affliction. We pray that the Lord would strengthen your immune system, rebuke this viral attack, and bring swift and complete healing so that you may testify of His goodness.
We also encourage you to rest in the Lord during this time, trusting that He is working even in this trial for your good. 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."* This season of discomfort is not wasted—God is refining your faith, drawing you closer to Himself, and preparing you for greater things ahead. Lean on Him, for His grace is sufficient, and His strength is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).
Let us also remind you to guard your heart against discouragement or fear. The enemy may whisper lies that this pain will never end, but we declare the truth of God’s Word over you: *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds"* (Psalm 147:3). Fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith, and let His peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard your heart and mind (Philippians 4:7).

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we come before Your throne of grace on behalf of Your child who is suffering from shingles. Lord Jesus, You bore our infirmities and carried our diseases on the cross, and by Your stripes, we are healed (Isaiah 53:4-5). We ask You to stretch out Your hand and touch their body with Your healing power. Rebuke this virus in the name of Jesus and command it to leave, never to return. Restore every damaged nerve, renew their strength, and flood their body with Your supernatural health. Grant them relief from pain and the ability to rest peacefully in Your presence.
Lord, we also ask that You would fill them with Your Holy Spirit, comforting them in this time of weakness. Remind them that You are near, that You hear their cries, and that You are working all things for their good. Give them patience to endure and faith to believe that You are their Healer. Surround them with Your peace and the support of Your people, that they may feel Your love in tangible ways.
We thank You, Father, for Your promises are true, and Your Word does not return void. We trust in Your timing and Your will, knowing that You are good and Your mercy endures forever. May this trial be a testimony of Your faithfulness, and may Your name be glorified through their healing. We pray all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
