We lift up those who are suffering from sickness and disease, asking the Lord to bring His healing touch to every afflicted body, mind, and spirit. The Bible assures us that God is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We know that by His stripes, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5), and we stand on this promise as we intercede for the sick.
Father, in the name of Jesus, we ask You to stretch forth Your hand and restore health to those who are ill. Comfort them in their pain and grant them strength when they are weak. We pray for wisdom for their doctors and caregivers, that they may be guided by Your divine insight. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
We also rebuke any spirit of infirmity or oppression that may be at work, for Your Word declares that Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). We command sickness to flee in the mighty name of Jesus, for He bore our griefs and carried our sorrows (Isaiah 53:4). May those who are sick experience Your presence in a tangible way, knowing that You are their healer and redeemer.
If there are those among the sick who do not yet know Jesus as their Lord and Savior, we pray that this time of trial would draw them to You. Remind them that salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). May they turn to You in repentance and faith, receiving the gift of eternal life.
Lord, we trust in Your goodness and mercy, believing that You work all things together for the good of those who love You (Romans 8:28). We declare Your promises over the sick, that they may rise up in strength and give You all the glory. Amen.
