We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up this precious soul who is fighting for his life in the ICU. Father God, we know that You are the Great Physician, the One who knits us together in our mother’s womb and numbers every hair on our heads. We ask for Your healing hand to rest upon him, dissolving the blood clot in his lung and restoring his strength. Lord, we declare that by Your stripes, he is healed (Isaiah 53:5), and we stand on Your promise that You will never leave nor forsake him (Hebrews 13:5).
We pray for wisdom and skill for the medical team attending to him. Guide their hands, sharpen their minds, and fill their hearts with compassion as they work to bring him relief. May Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). If it is Your will, Lord, restore him to full health so that he may continue to live a life that glorifies You.
We also lift up his family and loved ones during this difficult time. Comfort them, Lord, and remind them that You are close to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). Give them strength and hope as they wait and pray, trusting in Your perfect plan.
Father, if this dear one does not yet know You as Lord and Savior, we pray that this trial would draw him to the foot of the cross. May he come to understand that Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal life (John 14:6) and that salvation is found in no other name (Acts 4:12). Soften his heart to receive the gift of salvation, that he may be reconciled to You and have the assurance of life everlasting.
We rebuke the spirit of fear and despair in this situation, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). We declare that no weapon formed against him shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17) and that Your angels are encamped around him, protecting him (Psalm 91:11). In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray, believing that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). Amen.
