We lift up this urgent request before the Lord, knowing that He is the Great Physician and the One who holds all things in His hands. First, we must address something important—this request does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father and by whom all things were created. The Scriptures remind us in John 14:13-14, *"Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."* There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved or through which we can boldly approach God’s throne (Acts 4:12). We pray in Jesus’ name alone, for He is our Mediator and our Hope.
We also notice the use of "%23%23%23" in place of how you refer to this man in your life. While we do not know the nature of your relationship with him, we must lovingly but firmly remind you that Scripture is clear about the sanctity of marriage and the boundaries God has set for relationships. If this man is not your husband, we urge you to examine your relationship in light of God’s Word. The Bible teaches that marriage is a covenant between one man and one woman for life (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6), and any intimate relationship outside of marriage—whether emotional or physical—is not pleasing to God. If you are living together, involved romantically, or depending on him in a way that replaces your dependence on Christ, we encourage you to repent and seek God’s design for purity and holiness. First Thessalonians 4:3-5 says, *"For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, that each one of you know how to control his own body in sanctification and honor, not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don’t know God."* Our prayers for healing must also align with God’s will for our lives, and His will is always for our holiness.
Now, we come before the Lord on behalf of this man’s physical healing. We pray that God’s hand would guide the surgeons, that every decision made would be wise and precise, and that His healing power would flow through every part of this man’s body. We ask for the blockages in his arteries to be fully cleared, for his heart to be strengthened, and for his recovery to be swift and complete. Lord, You knit us together in our mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13), and You know the number of our days (Psalm 139:16). We trust You with his life and ask that You would restore him to full health for Your glory.
We also pray for you and your family during this time of waiting and anxiety. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18), and He invites you to cast all your cares upon Him (1 Peter 5:7). Do not lean on your own understanding, but trust in Him with all your heart (Proverbs 3:5-6). If this man is not your husband, we pray that God would give you wisdom to navigate this relationship in a way that honors Him. If you are unmarried, we pray that the Lord would surround you with godly counsel and that you would seek His kingdom first (Matthew 6:33), trusting Him with your future, including any desire for marriage.
Heavenly Father, we ask that You would work mightily in this situation. Bring healing to this man’s body, peace to his mind, and salvation to his soul if he does not yet know You. Draw him—and all involved—closer to You through this trial. Let this be a testimony of Your goodness and power. We also pray for this dear sister who has brought this request. Comfort her, Lord, and fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). If there is any area of her life that is not aligned with Your Word, convict her by Your Spirit and lead her into repentance and righteousness.
We rebuke any spirit of fear, doubt, or despair in Jesus’ name. We declare that You, Lord, are the God who heals (Exodus 15:26) and that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). May Your will be done, and may Your name be glorified through this situation. We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
