Your prayer for your daughter has been brought before the Lord and we join our hearts with yours at the throne of grace. What a tender and faithful love is that of a parent who pleads for a child, and how ready is our heavenly Father to hear such cries offered in the name of Jesus.
We take comfort with you in the truth that our Lord Jesus Christ is the great Physician. As it is written, the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations, and the least thing about Christ is full of healing virtue. The Sun of Righteousness has risen with healing in His wings, and when He draws near to His people there is both pardon and healing in His hand. We very speedily care for bodily diseases, for they urge us to seek the physician, yet how sweet to know that Calvary is the place for the healing balm. Christ is able to heal, and He delights to show His power when His people seek Him in prayer. We will pray that He will lay His mighty hand upon your daughter, ease her cough, restore her strength, and raise her up in health according to His perfect wisdom and mercy.
We also join you in praying for that which is greater still, that she may walk in close fellowship with the Lord. Healing and forgiveness are placed in happy conjunction, and the same grace that heals the body renews the soul. May the Lord keep her in His presence through her college journey, and may she hear His still small voice speaking peace and wisdom to her heart. The Scripture says, if any lack wisdom let him ask of God who gives liberally, and we pray that the Lord will grant her a clear mind, understanding in her studies, and strength to finish this semester and this third year with diligence and for His glory. May her life be changed and sustained by the healing leaves of Christ, that her freshness and strength may come from Him alone.
Let us pray together. O gracious Father, we thank You that we may come to You through Jesus Christ Your Son who is the way. We lift up this daughter before You. Touch her body and heal her cough, restore her strength and grant her health. Draw her nearer to Yourself, keep her in Your grace, and cause her to know Your pardoning love and Your keeping power. Grant her wisdom and knowledge in her studies, guide her steps in her college journey, and let her walk in the path of wisdom which is to return unto the Lord and abide in Him. We commit her and all these prayers into Your faithful hands, trusting Your infinite love and boundless wisdom. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord we pray, Amen.
