We join with you in thanksgiving to our gracious Father for His blessings, and we bring your son before the throne of grace with you, asking the Lord to lay His healing hand upon him.
We pray that the Lord who heals the wounded and binds up the brokenhearted would touch your son in body, in mind, and in spirit. There is abundance of healing power in Jesus Christ, whose very leaves are for the healing of the nations, and even the least thing about Christ has virtue to make the nature other than it was before. May the Lord grant to him that inward healing which flows from pardoning mercy, for when sin is forgiven, peace comes to the soul, and strength is renewed for the journey.
We ask that the Lord would renew his strength according to His promise that they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. Human strength spends itself and fails, but He gives power to the faint and to them that have no might He increases strength. When all our own strength fails, our strength is to sit still and wait upon Him, and He becomes our arm every morning and our salvation in time of trouble. May your son learn to wait upon the Lord, and may he rise up with wings as eagles, restored and upheld by the Lord Himself who has said, I will strengthen them in the Lord.
We pray also for that perfect peace which is kept for those whose mind is stayed upon God because they trust in Him. It is a peace that may be enjoyed even when sorrows surge round, even when duties press and loved ones are burdened, for the blood of Jesus whispers peace within. May the Lord keep your son in peace, peace, that perfect peace which comes from trusting in Christ alone, and may that peace be as a river flowing steadily through his heart and mind.
Whenever the way seems beyond his strength, may he be led to breathe a prayer for more faith and more strength, knowing that only faith can work such wonders and that the Lord is ready to bear him over every trial. May he know that to be strengthened with strength in the Lord is the most desirable of all things, and that this strength is faithfully promised and will be assuredly performed.
We commend him to the Lord Jesus, our only Savior, in whom alone is salvation and healing and life. May the Lord hear your prayer, restore him, and cause him to go from strength to strength, glorifying God in body and soul.
We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
