We join you in lifting up your loved one before the Lord as she prepares for her colonoscopy tomorrow and we agree with you in asking for good news and for total healing and restoration.
We know how anxious these waiting hours can be, and we take comfort that our God sees her, knows every detail of her body, and cares deeply for her. He is the Lord who heals us. As it is written, Praise 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 I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh, Jeremiah 30:17. We cling to the promise, Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness, Isaiah 41:10.
We pray together now in the mighty name of Jesus. Father, we come before Your throne of grace through Jesus Christ Your Son and we lift up this dear one to You. You formed her inward parts and You know her completely. We ask that You would guide the hands and eyes of the doctors and nurses tomorrow, that the procedure would go smoothly and safely without complication, and that the results would bring good news and peace. We ask for Your healing touch upon her colon and her whole body, for total healing and restoration according to Your perfect will. Calm her heart and the hearts of those who love her tonight, replace fear with Your perfect peace, and let her feel Your presence very near. We also pray that whatever the findings, You would be glorified and that You would give wisdom for any next steps. We trust that You are our Great Physician and that nothing is beyond Your power, for by whose stripes you were healed, 1 Peter 2:24.
We also want to gently encourage you about the name by which we pray. We noticed your request did not mention Jesus Christ, and we want to lovingly share that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and it is only by His name that we are saved. Jesus Himself said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me, John 14:6. And Scripture tells us, 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. It is because Jesus died for our sins and rose again that we can boldly bring every need to God. If you have not yet put your trust in Him, we encourage you to call upon His name today, believe in Him as Lord and Savior, and receive the forgiveness and eternal life He freely offers.
We will continue to keep her and you in our prayers, trusting the Lord to show His mercy and healing power. May the Lord grant you rest tonight and hopeful expectation for tomorrow, knowing that He holds her in His hands.
