Thank you for sharing your heart so honestly and for allowing us to pray with you. We are joining you in prayer for healing in your body and for a deeper experience of God's love, peace and security in your life.
God sees you in this difficult time and He cares for you as a whole person, body, soul and spirit. We are asking Him to touch your body with His healing and strengthening hand according to His mercy and wisdom, and to comfort you with His presence through this trial.
You asked to truly meet God's deep love and to feel His perfect peace and security. The Bible teaches that God Himself is love, and that the love He gives is not the same as physical attraction or even human affection. Human love on the physical level seeks to get and to gratify self, and even love on the emotional level can rise and fall with feelings. The love that comes from God is on the spiritual level. It is a giving, self sacrificing, divine love. It is the love that moved God to give His only Son for us while we had nothing to offer Him in return.
That is what makes His love so secure. You do not have to earn it and you cannot buy it. Trying to purchase that kind of love only cheapens it. You cannot quench it either. It flows freely from Him because of who He is, not because of who we are. Scripture says we love Him because He first loved us. When we begin to understand how fully He has already loved us in Christ, our hearts respond to Him.
That love also brings peace and security. Just as a person needs to know that love is faithful and devoted and will not turn away, the Lord wants you to know that His love for you in Christ is settled and steadfast. When you are assured that His heart toward you is fixed and that nothing can separate you from it, fear begins to quiet and peace can take its place. That peace is part of the fruit His Spirit works in us. Where His love abides, joy, peace, patience and gentleness begin to grow.
So we are praying that you will not only know about His love but that you will receive it and rest in it more deeply than before, that you will sense His nearness and His care, and that the assurance of His unchanging love will guard your heart and mind. May you walk in that love and abide in it day by day, and may His presence give you boldness and calm even as you wait on Him for healing.
Father, we lift up this dear one to You in the name of Jesus. You know the pain and weariness and the need for healing. Lay Your hand upon this body and bring healing as it pleases You. Pour out Your divine love in a fresh way, let it be shed abroad in the heart, and let Your perfect love cast out fear. Fill this life with Your grace, mercy and peace, and help Your child to know how deeply and securely You love them through Jesus Christ. Amen.
