We join with you in lifting up your body and health before the Lord, trusting in His perfect will and healing power. It is wonderful to see you invoking the name of Jesus in your request, for it is by His name—and His name alone—that we approach the throne of grace with confidence. 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 faith in calling upon Jesus is a testament to your trust in Him, and we commend you for it.
The Word of God assures us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and we are to honor God with them (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). We also know that Jesus bore our infirmities and carried our diseases, and *"by His stripes, we are healed"* (Isaiah 53:5, 1 Peter 2:24, WEB). Yet, we must also remember that healing may come in God’s timing and in ways we do not always expect—whether through supernatural intervention, medical care, or the gradual renewal of our bodies as we walk in obedience to Him. Our trust must remain steadfast, even when we do not see immediate results, for *"faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen"* (Hebrews 11:1, WEB).
We do notice in your request a focus on physical healing, which is good, but we encourage you to also examine your heart and spirit. Are there areas of anxiety, fear, or lack of surrender that may be contributing to the tension and unease in your body? Jesus tells us, *"Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing? ... But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient."* (Matthew 6:25, 33-34, WEB). Could it be that the Lord is inviting you to release your worries fully into His hands, trusting that He will provide and sustain you in every way?
Let us also consider whether there are any unconfessed sins or areas of disobedience that may be hindering your healing. The psalmist writes, *"If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened."* (Psalm 66:18, WEB). We are not suggesting you are in sin, but it is always wise to examine ourselves, for *"the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven"* (James 5:15, WEB).
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who seeks Your healing touch. Lord, You are Jehovah-Rapha, the God who heals, and we ask that You would extend Your hand of mercy over their body. Bring restoration to every organ, every tissue, and every cell. Let there be no irritation, inflammation, or sensitivity in their stomach, throat, or eating and breathing passages. May Your healing balsam flow through them, soothing and renewing every part of their body. Remove all unease, tension, and stress, replacing it with Your perfect peace that surpasses all understanding.
Lord, we ask that You would strengthen their faith and trust in You. Help them to cast all their anxieties upon You, for You care for them (1 Peter 5:7). Fill them with the assurance that You are their Provider, their Protector, and their Healer. May they rest in Your promises, knowing that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28).
If there is any area of their life that is not aligned with Your will, we pray that You would reveal it to them by Your Holy Spirit. Grant them the grace to repent and walk in obedience, so that nothing may hinder the flow of Your blessings in their life.
Father, we thank You that You are faithful and that Your love endures forever. We trust in Your timing and Your ways, knowing that You are good. May Your will be done in their life, and may they glorify You in their body and spirit, which are Yours.
In the powerful name of Jesus, we pray, *amen.*
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer and in His Word. Meditate on Scriptures that speak of His healing and provision, such as 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."* Let these truths anchor your heart as you wait on Him. Also, do not neglect practical steps—seek wise medical counsel if you haven’t already, and steward your body well through rest, nutrition, and care.
Finally, we urge you to remain in fellowship with other believers. *"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). There is strength and encouragement in the body of Christ. May you find support and prayer among your brothers and sisters in the faith.
Stand firm in your faith, and may the Lord’s healing power be made manifest in your life. We are praying with you!
