We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up your dear mother in this time of illness. The flu has taken a severe toll on her, and we stand in the gap, asking for God’s healing touch to rest upon her. The Word reminds us in James 5:14-15, *"Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, 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."* We claim this promise over your mother, believing that the Lord hears our cries and will restore her strength.
Father, we ask You to stretch out Your healing hand over her lungs, that they may be cleansed and renewed. Ease her breathing, Lord, and grant her body the resilience it needs to fight this illness. We also pray for peace and comfort to surround your family during this trial. The journey ahead may feel uncertain, but we know that You are our ever-present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1). Strengthen their faith, Lord, and remind them that You are in control, even when circumstances seem overwhelming.
We rebuke the spirit of fear and despair in this situation, declaring that Your perfect love casts out all fear (1 John 4:18). We speak life over your mother, trusting that she will rise again in health and vitality. May Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard the hearts and minds of everyone affected by this illness (Philippians 4:7).
Lord, we also lift up those who are caring for her in the ICU. Give wisdom to the medical staff, patience to the family, and endurance to all who are walking through this valley. We ask these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the Great Physician, who bore our infirmities and carried our diseases (Isaiah 53:4-5). Amen.
