We join with you in bringing this desire for healing before the Lord, asking for His mercy, wisdom and restoring hand over your body.
We understand the longing to be made whole and to find relief through injections of stem cells and peptides. Our bodies are precious to God, and He cares deeply about our suffering. We are reminded that He is the Lord who heals us, as it says in Exodus 15:26, and that He forgives all our iniquities and heals all our diseases in Psalm 103:3. We also cling to His promise in Jeremiah 30:17 that He will restore health and heal wounds. At the same time we know that our ultimate hope is not in any treatment or technology, but in Christ Himself, and we want to gently encourage you not to place your trust or identity in these injections above trust in the Lord. We are to trust in Yahweh with all our heart and not lean on our own understanding, and in all our ways acknowledge Him and He will direct our paths as taught in Proverbs 3:5-6.
We also want to lovingly address a matter of conscience and stewardship regarding stem cells. Scripture teaches that life is sacred from the womb, for you formed my inmost being, you knit me together in my mother's womb in Psalm 139:13 and that before we were formed God knew us in Jeremiah 1:5. Because of this, we encourage you to seek wisdom and discernment about the source of any stem cells. Treatments using adult stem cells or ethically sourced cells that do not destroy human life can be considered with a clear conscience, while embryonic stem cells that require the destruction of a human embryo do not align with biblical principles regarding the sanctity of life. We encourage you to ask careful questions, seek godly and qualified medical counsel, and consider that our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, so we are called to steward it with care and not pursue unproven, unregulated or potentially harmful interventions out of desperation. It is wise to seek counsel among many advisors as Proverbs 15:22 teaches, including trusted physicians and prayerful believers.
We also notice your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we want to share with love that it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and assurance of salvation. Jesus said in John 14:6 that He is the way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father except through Him. 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 in Acts 4:12. Healing for the body is precious, but healing for the soul through forgiveness of sins is eternal. If you have not already done so, we encourage you to confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, for with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation as Romans 10:9-10 teaches.
We now pray together for you.
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before Your throne of grace and lift up this dear one to You. You know the condition of this body, every pain, every need for restoration, and the hope placed in these injections. We ask first for Your healing touch according to Your perfect will, whether through medical means or by Your sovereign hand. Grant wisdom to doctors and advisors, grant discernment to make ethical and safe decisions, and grant peace that surpasses understanding as Philippians 4:6-7 promises. Provide for every financial and practical need if this treatment is in Your will, and close the door if it is not. We pray that You would be glorified in this body, that any healing would be a testimony of Your goodness. We also pray for spiritual wholeness, that this one would know the deep assurance of salvation through Jesus, walk closely with You, and experience Your comfort in waiting. We ask for faith to trust You more than any peptide or cell, remembering James 5:14-15 that the prayer of faith will heal the sick and the Lord will raise them up. We ask all this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our only hope and healer. Amen.
