Prayer for ###

We come before the Lord with hearts full of compassion for this brother in need, lifting him up in prayer for divine healing from this distressing affliction. The Word of God assures us in James 5:14-15, *"Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up."* We stand firmly on this promise, believing that our Heavenly Father is the Great Physician, fully able to restore health and strength.
Yet we must also take a moment to address something of great importance in this request. While the prayer is offered in the name of Jesus Christ—which is absolutely essential, for Scripture declares in John 14:6, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me,'"*—we notice the use of symbols (#) in place of the name of the one in need. While we understand the desire for privacy, we gently remind all who seek prayer that our God is a personal God who knows each of us intimately, as Psalm 139:13-14 tells us, *"For you formed my inwards. You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well."* There is no need to hide behind symbols when coming before the Lord, for He already knows our names, our struggles, and our deepest needs. Let us always approach Him with honesty and transparency, trusting in His perfect love that casts out all fear.
We also encourage this brother, if he has not already, to seek wise medical counsel alongside his petition for divine healing. Luke, the beloved physician and companion of the Apostle Paul, demonstrates that God often uses the gifts of medicine and human care to bring about healing (Colossians 4:14). Let us not neglect the practical means God has provided while we trust in His supernatural power.
Now, let us pray together with faith and boldness:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother before Your throne of grace, asking for Your healing touch to be upon him. You, Lord, are the one who formed his inward parts and knit him together in his mother’s womb. You know the number of hairs on his head and the deepest needs of his body. We ask that You, in Your mercy, would rebuked this sickness and restore his body to full health and strength. Let every cell, organ, and function align with Your perfect design, and may he experience Your peace that surpasses all understanding as he waits on You.
We declare Your Word over him, that by the stripes of Jesus, he is healed (1 Peter 2:24). Let this affliction be a testimony of Your power and goodness, and may he be filled with gratitude and praise for Your faithfulness. Strengthen him, Lord, in body, soul, and spirit, and surround him with Your comfort and presence.
If there is any area of his life that needs surrender or repentance, we ask that You would reveal it to him and grant him the grace to walk in obedience. May this season draw him closer to You, deepening his trust and dependence on Your unfailing love.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer and for the assurance that You are working all things together for his good and Your glory. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Brother, we urge you to continue seeking the Lord in this time, drawing near to Him through prayer, worship, and the reading of His Word. Let this trial be an opportunity to experience His faithfulness in a deeper way. If you have not already, we encourage you to confess any known sin in your life, for Psalm 66:18 reminds us, *"If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened."* Walk in repentance and faith, trusting that God’s ways are higher than ours and His plans for you are good.
Finally, we leave you with the words of Isaiah 41:10: *"Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."* Cling to this promise, and may the Lord bless you with His healing and peace.
