We join you in lifting up thanksgiving to our Heavenly Father for His provision of medical care, for the blood work, CT scans, and the dedicated medical providers and staff who serve with skill and compassion. It is indeed a blessing to see prayers answered after a season of waiting, and we rejoice with you in God’s faithfulness. The Scriptures remind us in Philippians 4:6-7, *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."* You have brought your needs before the Lord with gratitude, and we trust He will continue to guide each step of this process.
As you await the results today, we pray for clarity and accuracy in their interpretation, that every detail would be seen and understood correctly by those reviewing them. May the Lord grant wisdom to the medical team to discern the best course of action for any follow-up treatment, and may He open doors for the procedures you need—whether for your shoulder, back, or any other pressing physical concerns. We also lift up your request for weight loss and any necessary medications or procedures, asking the Lord to provide direction and discipline as you steward your body as a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). *"Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."*
We pray for favor in your conversations with the doctors today, that the Lord would bring to your remembrance every question and concern you need to address. May He grant you clarity of mind and the courage to advocate for your health in a way that honors Him. We also ask for His hand to move swiftly in the approval of any necessary treatments, that there would be no unnecessary delays or obstacles. Proverbs 16:3 assures us, *"Commit your deeds to the Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* So we commit this visit, these results, and every decision to Him, trusting that He will direct your steps.
Let us also encourage you to continue seeking the Lord’s will in all things, remembering that His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). Even as you ask for healing and relief, we pray that your heart would remain surrendered to His perfect plan, whether that includes immediate restoration or a journey of trust through ongoing treatment. *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight"* (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Finally, we praise God that you have invoked the name of Jesus in your request, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. *"Jesus said, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me’* (John 14:6). May this truth be a foundation of your faith as you walk through this season.

We ask now for Your divine intervention in the interpretation of these results—let every detail be seen with accuracy and wisdom. Guide the doctors and staff to make decisions that align with Your will for complete restoration.
Lord, we lift up the specific needs mentioned: the shoulder that requires surgery, the back that needs repair, and the desire for weight loss and overall health. Grant favor in every discussion today, that our brother/sister may remember to ask every necessary question and receive clear, compassionate answers. Remove any barriers to swift approval for the treatments needed, and let Your hand of healing be upon every area of their body.

Above all, Father, may Your name be glorified through this journey. Whether through healing, treatment, or continued trust in Your timing, let our brother/sister’s faith be a testimony to Your goodness. We ask these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Healer and Redeemer. Amen.
