Dear Lord,
You know Jonathan so much better than I do. You know his sickness and the burden he carries. You also know his heart. Lord, I ask you to be with Jonathan now as you work in his life. Lord, I pray for Jonathan just as your Word tells me to pray, for healing. I believe you hear this earnest prayer from my heart and that it is powerful because of your promise. I have faith in you, Lord, to heal Jonathan, but I also trust in the plan you have for his life. Lord, I don't always understand your ways. I don't know why Jonathan has to suffer, but I trust you. I ask that you look with mercy and grace toward him. Nourish his spirit and soul in this time of suffering and comfort him with your presence. Let Jonathan know you are there with him through this difficulty. Give him strength. And may you, through this difficulty, be glorified in his life and also in mine.
Amen.
