We join you with thanksgiving today as you celebrate your birthday and we lift up your physical needs before our gracious Father.
We rejoice with you that you are giving glory to God for His love, mercy and grace to you and your family, and we thank Him with you for another year of life. As it is written, This is the day that Yahweh has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24. Every year is a gift from His hand and we pray He will continue to establish the work of your life and satisfy you with long life and show you His salvation. Psalm 90:12 reminds us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom, and we are grateful you are beginning this new year with a thankful heart toward Jesus.
We are also bringing your neck pain and the pain on the left side of your body before the Lord, for He is our healer. We are told in scripture, Bless Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases. Psalm 103:2-3. And again, But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was on him, and with his stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5. Our hope is in Christ alone for forgiveness and for healing, and we come to the Father only through His name.
We pray together for you now.
Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son, we thank You for this dear life You have created and sustained. Thank You for Your mercy and grace that has carried them and their family to this birthday. We ask You to bless this new year with Your presence, peace and purpose. Touch their body now with Your healing hand. Lord, You see the pain in the neck and on the left side, You know its cause and its depth, and nothing is hidden from You. We ask for Your healing power to rest upon them, to ease inflammation, to restore strength and mobility, and to take away pain. As You have promised, I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh. Jeremiah 30:17. We pray for wisdom for any doctors or caregivers, for rest and proper care, and for complete restoration according to Your will. We pray also as John prayed, Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers. 3 John 1:2. Let Your peace guard their heart and let their trust remain in You through this discomfort. If it is Your will, grant a quick and full recovery so that they can celebrate this birthday with joy and strength to testify of Your goodness. We ask all this in the mighty and healing name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue to trust the Lord and to also seek wise medical counsel if the pain continues or worsens, for God often works through the hands of physicians and He cares for both our souls and our bodies. 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. James 5:14-15. Do not hesitate to ask brothers and sisters nearby to pray over you in person as well. Keep giving thanks as you have done, keep resting in His promises, and may this birthday be filled with the joy of the Lord which is your strength.
