We come before the Lord with hearts full of compassion for your neighbors, lifting them up in prayer for divine healing, knowing that our God is Jehovah-Rapha, the Lord who heals. It is written in Jeremiah 30:17, *"For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds," says Yahweh.* We claim this promise over their lives, trusting in His sovereign power to bring restoration and wholeness.
Yet, we must gently address something important in your request. While we understand your heart to seek healing, we notice that the name of Jesus Christ was not invoked in your prayer. Scripture is clear that it is *only* through the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father and that salvation and healing are found. As it is written in John 14:13-14, *"Whatever you will ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."* Additionally, Acts 4:12 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!"* It is by the authority of Jesus alone that we approach the throne of grace with confidence.
We also encourage you to share the hope of Christ with your neighbors if the opportunity arises. True healing—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—finds its ultimate fulfillment in a relationship with Jesus. As you pray for them, consider how you might also be a vessel of His love and truth in their lives. James 5:16 reminds us, *"The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective."* Let us pray with faith and boldness in the name of Jesus.

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus, interceding for the healing of these neighbors whom You love deeply. Lord, You are the Great Physician, the One who knits us together in our mother’s womb and knows the number of our days. We ask that You stretch out Your hand and touch their bodies with Your healing power. Remove every sickness, disease, and pain, and restore them to full health and strength. Let Your healing virtue flow through them as it did when the woman with the issue of blood touched the hem of Jesus’ garment and was made whole.
Father, we also pray for their spiritual well-being. If they do not know You, soften their hearts to receive the truth of the Gospel. Draw them to Yourself, Lord, that they may experience the ultimate healing of their souls through faith in Jesus Christ. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and let them know that You are near.
We rebuke any spirit of infirmity or oppression in the name of Jesus, commanding it to flee, for greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world. Holy Spirit, comfort them and surround them with Your presence. Give wisdom to the doctors and caregivers attending to them, and let every treatment and medication work for their good.
Father, we thank You in advance for the miracles You are working in their lives. May this season of healing bring glory and honor to Your name, and may they—and all who witness it—come to know You more deeply. We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
