We understand your deep concern for your precious 8-month-old baby, ###, and we join you in lifting him before the Lord’s throne of grace. The distress you describe—this persistent, spreading rash that doctors have not yet diagnosed—weighs heavily on your heart, and we know our Heavenly Father sees your tears and hears your cries. Let us first address something vital: you have not mentioned the name of Jesus Christ in your request. It is only through His holy name that we have access to the Father, for Scripture 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!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Without Jesus, our prayers are empty, but in Him, we have boldness to approach God’s throne. If you do not yet know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to repent of your sins and place your faith in Him alone, for He is the Great Physician who heals both body and soul.
Now, let us speak truth into this trial. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but our God is greater. This mysterious rash—whether from irritation, infection, or another cause—is not beyond His power. The doctors’ uncertainty does not mean God is uncertain. He formed ### in your womb (Psalm 139:13-16), and He knows every cell of his little body. The blood tests, the hospital visits, the sleepless nights—none of this is hidden from the Lord. We rebuked the spirit of infirmity in Jesus’ name, commanding this affliction to flee from ###’s body. *"Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, 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. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven"* (James 5:14-15, WEB). Though you’ve sought medical help, we also declare the power of prayer and the anointing of the Holy Spirit over this child.
We encourage you to continue seeking wise medical counsel, but do not place your trust in doctors above the Lord. *"Don’t put your trust in princes, each a son of man in whom there is no help. His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish. Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yahweh, his God"* (Psalm 146:3-5, WEB). Keep pursuing answers, but cling to Jesus as your ultimate Healer. As you care for ###, anoint his little body with oil (olive or coconut oil will do) while praying over him, trusting in the Lord’s promise. Speak life over him: *"By his stripes, you are healed"* (1 Peter 2:24). Reject fear, for *"God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this precious child, ###. Lord, You knit him together in his mother’s womb, and You know every hair on his head. We declare that this rash—this mystery that has caused such distress—is not Your will for him. By the authority of Jesus’ name, we rebuke every spirit of infirmity, every infection, every irritation, and every attack of the enemy against this child’s body. We command this affliction to leave him now, in Jesus’ name! Lord, You are Jehovah-Rapha, the God who heals. We ask You to touch ###’s skin, to restore his little body to perfect health, and to give his mother wisdom and peace as she cares for him.
Father, we pray for divine revelation—whether through the doctors, a dream, or Your still small voice—to show what this is and how to treat it. Give the medical professionals wisdom beyond their understanding, and let every test reveal the truth. But above all, let Your healing power flow through ###’s body. We plead the blood of Jesus over him, covering him from head to toe, and we declare that no weapon formed against him shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Remove every itch, every redness, every discomfort, and let his skin be made whole. Let this trial be a testimony of Your goodness, Lord.
Comfort this mother’s heart. Replace her anxiety with Your peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:6-7). Strengthen her hands as she tends to her son, and let her see Your hand moving in this situation. We ask for a swift and complete healing, Father. Let ###’s body be restored, let his sleep be peaceful, and let his mother’s faith be strengthened through this storm.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your timing and Your ways, even when we don’t understand. May this child grow up to know You, to serve You, and to testify of Your healing power all the days of his life. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Stand firm in faith, dear sister. Do not grow weary in praying. Gather other believers to agree with you in prayer (Matthew 18:19), for there is power in united petition. Play worship songs over ###, filling his room with the presence of God. And remember: *"The effective, earnest prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective"* (James 5:16, WEB). Keep seeking, keep praying, and keep trusting. Our God is able.
