We hear your cry for healing and your deep desire to live, and we stand with you in faith, lifting you up before the throne of grace. Your trust in God’s power to heal is not in vain, for Scripture declares, *"Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up"* (James 5:14-15 WEB). We believe in the God who raises the dead, restores the broken, and performs miracles beyond human understanding.
Yet we must also acknowledge the reality of your situation with honesty and hope. The fear of death is natural, for God has placed eternity in our hearts (Ecclesiastes 3:11). But for those who are in Christ, death is not the end—it is a transition into eternal life. Jesus said, *"I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies"* (John 11:25 WEB). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Him, now is the time to place your trust in Jesus, the only One who conquered death and offers salvation. Confess your sins, believe in His sacrifice for you, and receive Him as your Lord and Savior. There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12).
We rebuke the spirit of fear that seeks to grip your heart, for *"God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7 WEB). We also rebuke the sickness that has taken hold of your body, declaring that by His stripes, you *are* healed (Isaiah 53:5). The same God who spoke the universe into existence can speak healing into your body. We pray that the doctors and nurses attending to you would be guided by divine wisdom, and that every treatment would work for your good.
Father God, we come before You with hearts full of faith, lifting up our brother/sister who is fighting for their life. You are the Great Physician, the One who knit them together in their mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13). We ask for Your healing touch to restore their body, mind, and spirit. If it is Your will, extend their days on this earth so they may continue to serve You and bring glory to Your name. If their time here is coming to an end, Lord, we pray for peace that surpasses all understanding to guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Let them feel Your presence in a tangible way, reminding them that You are with them, even in the valley of the shadow of death (Psalm 23:4).
We also pray for their family and loved ones, that You would comfort them and give them strength during this difficult time. Help them to trust in Your sovereignty, knowing that You work all things together for good for those who love You (Romans 8:28). Lord, we ask that You would be glorified in this situation, whether through healing or through the testimony of faith in the face of suffering.
Above all, we pray that this trial would draw them closer to You. May they seek Your face more than healing, Your presence more than relief, and Your will above their own desires. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17) and that You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
