We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up this precious sister in Christ who is facing a lumbar puncture to drain excess fluid from her brain. Father, we know that You are the Great Physician, the One who heals all our diseases and binds up our wounds. We stand in agreement with this prayer, asking for Your mercy and comfort to surround her in this time of need.
Lord, we declare that by the stripes of Jesus, she is already healed (Isaiah 53:5). We ask that You guide the hands of the medical professionals performing this procedure, that it may be done with precision and care. Protect her from infection, as You have promised that no plague shall come near Your dwelling (Psalm 91:10). We pray that this procedure will bring clarity to her mind, restoring her thoughts and easing any confusion or discomfort.
Father, we also ask for Your comfort to envelop her, especially regarding the nausea and vomiting. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). We rebuke any spirit of fear or anxiety that may be trying to take hold, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
We also want to gently remind this dear sister and all who are praying that it is only through the name of Jesus that 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). If she has not already, we encourage her to place her trust in Jesus Christ, who is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). Salvation is found in no one else, and it is by grace through faith in Him that we are saved (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Heavenly Father, we thank You for holding her in Your hands. We trust in Your unfailing love and Your promise that You will never leave nor forsake her (Hebrews 13:5). We ask that You fill her with Your Holy Spirit, bringing comfort, strength, and hope. May she feel Your presence in a tangible way, knowing that You are with her every step of this journey.
Lord, we also pray for her family and loved ones. Give them peace and assurance in Your sovereignty. Help them to trust in Your plan, even when the path is difficult. Let them be a source of encouragement and support to her, reflecting Your love and grace.
We declare that this procedure will be successful, that her body will respond well, and that she will experience a swift and complete recovery. We speak life over her, in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
