We have received your prayer request about asthma and we are praying for you and bringing your breathing and health before the Lord.
We want to pray with faith, because we believe God still heals today. The Gospels show Jesus healing many kinds of sickness, from the leper and the centurion's servant to Peter's mother in law and the multitudes who came in the evening, and Matthew connects that ministry to the prophecy in Isaiah that He bore our sicknesses and infirmities. He has power in the physical realm and the spiritual realm, and every process of healing, whether it seems instant or gradual, is from His hand, because He created our bodies and the natural processes by which they recover.
At the same time we want to pray with a clear understanding of Scripture. The verse that says I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers is often taken as a blanket promise that God guarantees health to everyone. In its context it is a personal greeting from John to Gaius, a loving wish for his wellbeing, not a universal guarantee. It is a beautiful wish, and it does remind us of something true, that God cares about your health and that there is a real connection between the health of your soul and the health of your body. Attitudes and peace of heart can affect the body, and the Lord is interested in the whole person.
Because God cares about your body, it is also right to steward it well with the wisdom He has given, including good care for diet, cleanliness, and medical help. Scripture teaches that all things may be lawful but not all things are helpful, and we know now that many of the cautions given in the Bible about what to eat and about cleanliness have clear health reasons behind them. Using doctors and medicine is not opposed to trusting God, since the healing processes He placed in creation are themselves divine.
When we pray for healing we follow the pattern in James, where believers can pray and anoint with oil and lay hands on the sick. There is no magical power in the oil or in a person's hands, and no one can buy or sell healing. It simply gives a point where faith can be released and we can look to Jesus alone. Sometimes He touches directly, sometimes He speaks a word from a distance, sometimes healing comes instantly and sometimes it comes gradually, as with the blind man who saw in stages. We do not try to force healing into one pattern.
We also do not want you to carry a false burden. Sickness is not a sign that you are spiritually weak or that you lack faith. Even the apostle Paul prayed three times for his thorn in the flesh to be removed and the Lord chose not to remove it. Not every person has the gift of healing, and God in His sovereignty does not will healing in the same way in every case. We reject sensational methods that whip people into frenzies or exploit those who are suffering, and we do not believe healing should be used for personal gain or show.
So we will keep praying for you simply and sincerely, asking the Lord to ease your breathing, to strengthen your lungs, to give wisdom to any doctors who care for you, and to bring you peace as you trust Him. Above all we pray that your soul prospers in fellowship with Jesus Christ, for if your heart is alive toward God, you have true life, and He is able to minister to both soul and body according to His perfect will.
Father, in the name of Jesus we bring this need for relief from asthma before You. You know this struggle to breathe. You bore our infirmities and You understand our weakness. We ask that You would touch and heal as You will, whether quickly or gradually, and grant easier breathing, rest at night, and strength for each day. Give wisdom for daily care and treatment, calm any fear, and draw this dear one closer to You. Let Your will be done and let Your peace rest here. Amen.
