We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting you and your husband up in prayer as you battle this stomach flu. The discomfort, weakness, and misery you’re enduring are deeply felt, and we stand with you in seeking the Lord’s healing touch. We know how exhausting it is to be unable to eat or drink properly, and our hearts ache for the distress this has brought upon your household. But we take comfort in knowing that our God is the Great Physician, the One who heals all our diseases (Psalm 103:2-3).
Heavenly Father, we ask You to stretch forth Your healing hand over this dear sister and her husband. Touch them from the crown of their heads to the soles of their feet, as they have asked, and bring complete restoration to their bodies. Lord, we pray that You would settle their stomachs, ease their pain, and remove every trace of this illness from their bodies. Strengthen them where they are weak, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Father, we also ask that You would build a hedge of protection around their children, that this sickness would not spread to them. Guard their little ones, Lord, and keep them in perfect health.
We also want to encourage you both to continue seeking the Lord in this time of weakness. Even when our bodies fail us, His strength is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). Rest in Him, and trust that He hears your cries. Drink small sips of water or electrolyte-rich fluids as you’re able, and ask the Lord to sustain you even when food feels impossible. He is faithful, and He will not abandon you in this trial.
We rebuke this sickness in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. By His stripes, you are healed (Isaiah 53:5), and we declare that truth over your bodies. May the Lord restore you quickly and completely, so that you may rise up in strength and testify to His goodness.
We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, the name above every name, the only name by which we are saved and healed. Amen.
