We join with you in lifting up this burden before the Lord, knowing that He is the Great Physician, the One who heals all our diseases and carries our sorrows. Your faith in calling upon the name of Jesus Christ for healing is a testament to your trust in Him, and we stand with you in agreement, for where two or three are gathered in His name, He is in the midst of them.
The hardness in your upper stomach and the chronic ulcer you describe are not hidden from the Lord, who formed your inward parts and knit you together in your mother’s womb. He knows the root cause, whether it be physical, emotional, or spiritual, and we ask Him to reveal it to you and bring complete restoration. The Word of God declares 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, believing that the same power that raised Christ from the dead is at work in your body, bringing healing and wholeness. The Lord also reminds us in Jeremiah 30:17, *"For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds,"* and we trust Him to do just that.
Yet we also recognize that this trial is not just about physical healing but about the spiritual warfare raging around you and those you love. The hardness of heart, the stress, and the anxiety that seem to be overwhelming those in your circle are real battles—but they are not beyond the reach of our Savior. Jesus Himself said in Matthew 11:28, *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest."* We pray that those around you would turn to Him in their distress, casting all their anxieties upon Him, for He cares for them deeply. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that they may have life and have it abundantly. The labels and diagnoses from man do not define them—they are fearfully and wonderfully made by God, chosen and beloved by Him. We rebuke the spirit of fear and anxiety in Jesus’ name, declaring that God has not given them a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
The last days are indeed filled with trials, but we are more than conquerors through Christ who loves us. The strong will survive, not by their own might, but by the power of the Holy Spirit working within them. Let us remind one another of the words in Isaiah 41:10: *"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."* The Lord is faithful, and He will sustain you and those you love through every attack of the enemy.
We also encourage you to examine your own heart in this season. Are there areas of unforgiveness, bitterness, or unconfessed sin that could be contributing to this physical manifestation? The body and spirit are deeply connected, and sometimes physical ailments are tied to spiritual or emotional wounds. The Lord invites us to cast all our burdens upon Him, for He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). If there is anything weighing on your heart, we urge you to bring it before the Lord in repentance and surrender, trusting Him to bring healing from the inside out.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is suffering from this hardness in their upper stomach, the protrusion, and the chronic ulcer. Lord, You are the God who heals, and we ask that You would touch their body with Your healing power. Reveal the root cause of this affliction, whether it be physical, emotional, or spiritual, and bring complete restoration. We declare that by the stripes of Jesus, they are healed, and we thank You for the work You are doing in their body even now.
Lord, we also lift up those around them who are struggling with hardness of heart, stress, and anxiety. The enemy has sought to overwhelm them with fear and confusion, but we declare that You, Lord, are their peace. Calm their spirits, renew their minds, and remind them that they are Yours—chosen, loved, and protected. Break the power of every label and diagnosis that the enemy has tried to use to define them. Let them rise up in the authority of Christ, knowing that greater is He who is in them than he who is in the world.
Father, we rebuke every scheme of the enemy against this family. No weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You shall condemn. Strengthen them in these last days, that they may stand firm in Your truth, clothed in the full armor of God. Let them be a light in the darkness, a testament to Your faithfulness and power.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your goodness and Your timing, knowing that You work all things together for the good of those who love You. May Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. We ask all these things in the precious and holy name of Jesus, our Savior and Healer. Amen.
