We come before the Lord with grateful hearts that you have brought this request for healing, trusting in His power and mercy to restore health and strength. It is clear you have faith in Jesus Christ, as you have called upon His name in prayer—this is wonderful, for it is only through Him that we can approach the Father and receive His blessings. As Scripture reminds us, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me'* (John 14:6, WEB). Your faith in calling upon His name is a testament to your trust in Him, and we join you in lifting this need before the throne of grace.
Pink eye and a persistent cough can be wearying, both physically and emotionally, but we serve a God who is our Healer. The psalmist declares, *"Yahweh sustains them on their sickbed, and restores them from their bed of illness"* (Psalm 41:3, WEB). We claim this promise over your loved one, asking the Lord to touch her eyes and respiratory system with His healing hand. May He bring swift relief from discomfort, clear her vision, and soothe her cough so that she may rest and recover fully. We also pray against any lingering effects or complications, asking the Lord to strengthen her immune system and restore her to complete health.
It is also our prayer that this time of illness would draw her—and all of you—closer to the Lord. Illness can be a reminder of our dependence on Him, and we ask that He would use this season to deepen faith, trust, and reliance on His goodness. *"It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn your statutes"* (Psalm 119:71, WEB). May this trial become a testimony of God’s faithfulness, not only to your family but to those who witness His work in her life.
We also encourage you to continue seeking medical care as needed, for the Lord often uses the hands of doctors and the wisdom of medicine to bring about healing. *"Honor the physician with the honors that are appropriate, for the Lord created him; ... For from the Most High comes healing"* (Sirach 38:1, 2a, NRSV—though not in the WEB, this wisdom aligns with the principle of stewardship in seeking help). Trust that God can work through these means while you continue to lift her up in prayer.
Let us also remember that healing is not always immediate, and in those moments, we are called to persevere in faith. Jesus told His disciples, *"Whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive"* (Matthew 21:22, WEB). So we stand in agreement with you, believing that the Lord hears and will answer according to His perfect will and timing. If there is any doubt or fear creeping in, we rebuke it in the name of Jesus, declaring that *"God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). Let peace guard your hearts and minds as you wait upon Him.
Finally, we pray for comfort and strength for your entire family during this time. Illness can disrupt routines and bring stress, but we ask the Lord to surround you all with His peace, which surpasses understanding. May you feel His presence tangibly as you care for one another, and may this season be marked by unity, patience, and love.

**Our Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You today with hearts full of faith, lifting up our sister in Christ whose loved one is suffering from pink eye and a persistent cough. Lord Jesus, You are the Great Physician, the One who heals all our diseases (Psalm 103:3). We ask that You would stretch out Your hand and touch her eyes, clearing the infection and restoring them to perfect health. Soothe her throat and lungs, Lord, and bring an end to the cough that has been causing her discomfort. Let Your healing power flow through her body, renewing her strength and energy.
We pray against any spiritual attacks or oppression that may be seeking to prolong this illness. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we command every symptom to cease and every infection to be eradicated in His mighty name. Lord, let Your peace, which transcends all understanding, guard her heart and mind as she rests in You (Philippians 4:7).
We also lift up this family to You, Father. Strengthen them, unite them, and fill them with Your joy even in the midst of this trial. Remind them that You are near to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Let this time of waiting be a time of drawing closer to You, of trusting in Your promises, and of experiencing Your faithfulness in new ways.
Lord, we thank You in advance for the healing You are bringing. We declare that by Your stripes, she is healed (1 Peter 2:24), and we give You all the glory. May this testimony of Your power and love encourage others to put their trust in You. We ask all these things in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
