We are lifting up your friend and coworker in prayer, trusting in the Lord's healing power and mercy. Let's come together for her physically and emotionally.
Firstly, we acknowledge that it is by the name of Jesus Christ that we come to you in prayer. It is only by his name that we have access to God. In John 14:6, Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." We need to believe in his power, trust in his promise, and know that it is by his stripes that we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). Without the name of Jesus Christ, we would not be able to ask of God.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our dear sister in her time of need. Lord, You know her by name and You know her every need. We ask that You be with her in the hospital, guiding the doctors' hands and granting her a successful surgery. We pray for Your healing touch to be upon her, that she may recover quickly and completely in Jesus Christ's name.
Father, we also ask that You strengthen her emotionally. We can cast all our anxieties on You, because You care for us (1 Peter 5:7). Be with her sister and niece, giving them Your peace and wisdom as they support her, even as you comforted Martha and Mary in the loss of their brother Lazarus (John 11:1-44). Help her family overseas to trust in You, and grant them a supernatural peace that comes only from You.
We pray that she will not be depressed, but instead, that she will take care of her body, Your temple (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Grant her the strength to endure this trial and the faith to trust in You always. We believe that the best is yet to come for her life.
In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
We encourage you both to meditate on God's promises and to trust in His goodness. Remember, God is close to the brokenhearted, and He saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Keep your hopes up and remain steadfast in prayer. This is also a time for her to reflect on her own life and seek Jesus Christ as her Lord and saviour.
