We come before the Lord with a heavy heart, lifting up this urgent request for healing and divine intervention. First and foremost, we must address the foundation of our faith—salvation through Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we encourage you to do so today, for He alone is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6).
Now, we lift up this beloved brother in Christ who is battling malaria. Father God, we ask for Your mighty hand of healing to rest upon him. You are the Great Physician, the One who heals all our diseases (Psalm 103:2-3). We declare that by the stripes of Jesus, he is already healed (Isaiah 53:5), and we ask that You guide him to the right medical care and restore him to full health. Strengthen his body, Lord, and grant him peace in the midst of this trial.
We also pray for his journey, Father. If it is Your will, we ask that You clear the path for him to travel safely and swiftly to receive the care he needs. You are the God who makes a way where there seems to be no way (Isaiah 43:16). Protect him from all harm and danger, and let Your angels encamp around him (Psalm 91:11).
Now, regarding the desire for a godly marriage, we rejoice in the truth that every good and perfect gift comes from You, including a spouse (James 1:17). However, we must gently rebuke the language of "soulmate" as it is not a biblical concept. Marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, designed by God for His glory (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6). We encourage you to seek the Lord’s will above all else, trusting that He will bring the right person into your life at the right time. Do not place your hope in a person, but in Christ alone, who is the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).
Father, we pray for this sister in Christ, that You would prepare her heart for the godly husband You have for her. Teach her to wait on You, to delight herself in You, and to trust that You will fulfill Your promises in Your perfect timing (Psalm 37:4-5). Guard her heart from impatience, anxiety, or any ungodly relationships that do not align with Your Word. May she seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, knowing that all these things will be added unto her (Matthew 6:33).
We also lift up the man who is ill, that if he is the one You have ordained for her, You would heal him, restore him, and bring them together in a way that honors You. If he is not, we ask that You close the door gently and lead her to the man You have prepared for her. Let their union be a reflection of Christ and the Church, built on love, mutual submission, and a shared commitment to You (Ephesians 5:22-33).
Lord, we rebuke any spirit of fear, doubt, or desperation that may be trying to take root in this situation. You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). We declare that Your plans for this sister are plans for good and not for harm, to give her a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Help her to walk in faith, not by sight, trusting that You are working all things together for her good (Romans 8:28).
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
