We lift up your friend in prayer, asking our Heavenly Father to bring healing and restoration to his body, mind, and spirit. The weariness and sickness he is experiencing are not unknown to the Lord, who promises in Psalm 103:2-3, "Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits; who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases." We stand on this promise, believing that God is able to heal every affliction, whether seen or unseen.
Father, we also pray for favor in the workplace. May your wisdom guide his supervisor to approve his annual leave in December, and may there be grace to carry forward his remaining leave without loss. Proverbs 16:7 tells us, "When a man’s ways please Yahweh, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him." We trust that You will work all things for his good, even in the details of his employment.
Lord, grant him discernment to make wise choices in his diet, lifestyle, and health management. May he seek You first in all things, as Matthew 6:33 reminds us, "But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." We ask that You reveal to him the habits that honor You and bring vitality to his body, which is a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
We rebuke every spirit of infirmity and exhaustion in Jesus’ name, declaring that by His stripes, your friend is healed (Isaiah 53:5). Strengthen him with Your might, Lord, and fill him with hope and peace as he waits on You.
Lastly, we pray that your friend would draw near to You, knowing that in Christ alone is true healing and salvation. If he has not yet surrendered his life to Jesus, we ask that You would soften his heart to receive the gift of eternal life through faith in Him. There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), and we pray he would come to know Jesus as his Lord and Savior.
In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
