We hear your cry for relief from the pain of shingles, and we stand with you in prayer, lifting this burden before our Heavenly Father. The Word of God reminds us in Psalm 34:18-19, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all." Though this pain is heavy, we trust in the Lord’s compassion and healing power.
Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ, we come before You with hearts full of faith, asking for Your divine touch upon our dear brother or sister suffering from shingles. Lord, You are the Great Physician, and we believe in Your power to heal and restore. We rebuke this pain and this virus in the mighty name of Jesus, declaring that by Your stripes, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). We ask that You bring comfort to every nerve, soothe every ache, and speed the healing of this affliction. Strengthen their body, mind, and spirit, Lord, and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
We also encourage you to seek godly wisdom in caring for your body, as it is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Rest in the Lord, trust in His timing, and lean not on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6). If medical treatment is needed, we pray for discernment for the doctors and effectiveness in the care they provide.
Lord, we thank You for Your faithfulness and for hearing our prayer. We declare that this pain will not have the final say, but that Your healing power will prevail. We stand on Your promises, knowing that You are working all things together for good for those who love You (Romans 8:28). May this trial draw our brother or sister closer to You, deepening their trust in Your unfailing love. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
