We lift up your son before the Lord with heavy hearts, trusting in His mercy and healing power. Father God, You are the Great Physician, the One who knits us together in our mother’s womb and knows every part of our bodies. We ask that You touch this young man with Your healing hand, bringing relief to his stomach and GI issues. Lord, we declare that by Your stripes, he is healed (Isaiah 53:5), and we stand on Your promise that You will restore his health and strengthen him (Jeremiah 30:17). Please stop the weight loss, Lord, and let no serious illness take root in his body. We trust in Your perfect will, knowing that even in weakness, Your strength is made perfect (2 Corinthians 12:9).
We also bring before You his plans to travel out of town. Heavenly Father, if it is not Your will for him to go, we ask that You change his heart and mind. Give him wisdom to recognize his limitations and the discernment to prioritize his health. Guide the decisions of his doctors and caregivers, and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Lord, we rebuke any spirit of fear or anxiety in this situation. You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). We declare that Your perfect love casts out all fear, and we trust You to work all things together for good (Romans 8:28). Strengthen this family’s faith, Lord, and let them feel Your presence in a tangible way during this trial.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the name above every name, the only name by which we are saved and through which we have access to the Father. There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for Your faithfulness to answer according to Your will. May Your will be done in this situation, and may Your name be glorified through it all.
We continue to stand in faith, believing that Your healing power is at work even now. Amen.
