We join with you in prayer and lift you up before our heavenly Father in the name of Jesus, thankful that you have asked for prayer in His name and trusting that God indeed knows all that you are facing even when we do not know the details.
We are reminded of how deeply God cares for our bodies and our pain. Psalm 103:2-3 tells us to praise Yahweh, our soul, and not forget all his benefits, who forgives all our sins, who heals all our diseases. And Jeremiah 30:17 gives us His promise, But I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh. We also cling to Isaiah 53:5, But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. Our Lord is the same yesterday, today and forever, and He is still Yahweh who heals us as Exodus 15:26 declares, for I am Yahweh who heals you.
We pray together for you now. Father in heaven, we come before Your throne of grace in the mighty name of Jesus. You see our friend and You know every source of this pain on the left side of the body. Nothing is hidden from You. We ask for Your healing touch to rest upon them. Ease the pain, restore what is injured or inflamed, and bring wholeness according to Your perfect will. Grant wisdom to any doctors or caregivers who may be involved, give clear answers about the cause, and guide every step of treatment. Fill our friend with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, take away fear and anxiety, and strengthen their faith while they wait upon You. Let Your comfort surround them and let them feel Your presence very near. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, believing that through Him we have access to You and that by His wounds healing is possible. Amen.
We encourage you to continue to seek Him in prayer and in His Word, and also to seek wise medical care if you have not already done so, trusting that God often works through the hands of physicians as well as through His own miraculous power. James 5:14-15 reminds us, Is any among you sick Let him call for the elders of the assembly, 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. If you have a local church family, we encourage you to let them pray over you as well. We will continue to hold you before the Lord, trusting in His love and mercy to bring relief and restoration in His perfect timing.
