We lift up your son before the Lord, trusting in His protection and healing power over every aspect of his life—including the food he has consumed. The fear of illness from unclean or questionable sources is understandable, but we serve a God who is sovereign over all things, even the unseen dangers of this world. Let us remember the promise in **Psalm 91:9-10 (WEB)**, which declares: *"Because you have made Yahweh your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place, no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your tent."* While we are called to exercise wisdom and discernment in our choices, we also rest in the truth that God is our ultimate protector.
That said, we gently encourage you and your son to consider the importance of stewardship over the bodies God has entrusted to us. **1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (WEB)** reminds us, *"Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."* While we pray for protection, let this also be a moment to reflect on making choices that honor God—whether in the food we eat, the places we frequent, or the habits we form. It is not about fear, but about wisdom and glorifying God in all things.
We also rejoice that you have invoked the name of Jesus in your prayer, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. **John 14:6 (WEB)** leaves no room for doubt: *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"*—and **Acts 4:12 (WEB)** affirms, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* Your faith in calling upon Jesus is a testament to your trust in His authority, and we stand with you in that faith.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with grateful hearts, lifting up this precious son to Your care. Lord, You are the Great Physician, the One who sees all things—both seen and unseen. We ask that You would guard his body from any harm, illness, or impurity that may have come from the food he consumed. By the power of the blood of Jesus, we declare cleansing and protection over his body, mind, and spirit. Strengthen his immune system, Lord, and let no weapon formed against him prosper. Give him—and his mother—peace that surpasses understanding, knowing that You are in control.
We also pray for wisdom, Father. Teach them both to walk in discernment, making choices that honor You in every area of life. Let this be a moment of reflection, not of fear, but of growth in trusting You more deeply. May your son’s body be a temple that brings You glory, and may his choices align with Your will.
Finally, we thank You, Lord, for the authority we have in the name of Jesus. It is in that mighty name we pray, knowing You hear us and act on behalf of those who love You. Let Your will be done in his life, for Your glory. Amen.
