We lift up this precious one before the Father in heaven, asking for His healing touch to rest upon them in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have boldness to approach the throne of grace, and it is in His name alone that we find salvation and healing. If you do not know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to turn to Him today, for *"there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB).
The Scripture tells us that *"by his wounds you were healed"* (1 Peter 2:24, WEB), and we claim that promise now over this lump and the pain of osteoarthritis. Our God is the Great Physician, the One who formed every bone and joint, and He is able to restore what is broken. We pray for complete healing—whether through divine intervention or the wisdom of godly medical care—to bring relief and restoration. May the Lord strengthen their body, renew their bones, and remove every trace of sickness, for *"the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up"* (James 5:15, WEB).
Yet even as we pray for physical healing, we also ask that the Lord would draw this one closer to Himself through this trial. Suffering can be a refining fire, shaping us into the image of Christ if we surrender to His will. May they find comfort in His presence, knowing that *"my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness"* (2 Corinthians 12:9, WEB). Let them cast every anxiety upon Him, for He cares deeply for them (1 Peter 5:7).
We also encourage this one to seek the Lord with all their heart, to trust in His timing, and to walk in obedience to His Word. If there is any area of their life that is not aligned with His will—whether in health, relationships, or faith—we pray the Holy Spirit would convict and guide them into truth. *"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight"* (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB).
Father, we ask that You would surround this one with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding. Let them feel Your love in tangible ways, whether through the encouragement of believers, the comfort of Your Word, or the still, small voice of Your Spirit. We rebuke every spirit of fear, doubt, or discouragement in Jesus’ name, and we declare that *"the Lord is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him"* (Psalm 28:7, WEB).
May this season of waiting be a testimony of Your faithfulness. We pray for a miracle, but even more, we pray for a heart that says, *"Not my will, but yours be done"* (Luke 22:42, WEB). Let Your kingdom come and Your will be done in their life, for Your glory alone.
In the powerful and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
