We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this dear one who is facing physical struggles with breathing and challenges in their job. Father, we know that You are the Great Physician, the One who heals all our diseases and restores our strength. Your Word declares in Psalm 103:2-3, "Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits; who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases." We stand on this promise, believing that You see this suffering and are already at work to bring healing and restoration.
Lord, we also pray for success and favor in their job. You have promised in Deuteronomy 28:12 that if we obey Your commands, You will open the heavens, the storehouse of Your bounty, to send rain on our land in season and to bless all the work of our hands. We ask that You would grant wisdom, perseverance, and divine opportunities in their workplace. May their efforts be fruitful, and may they find joy and purpose in the work You have called them to do.
We rebuke any spirit of fear or anxiety that may be weighing on their heart, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). We declare that this one is covered by the blood of Jesus, protected from all harm, and surrounded by Your angels. Psalm 91:10-11 assures us, "No evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling. For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways."
Father, we also want to gently remind this dear one of the importance of placing their trust fully in Jesus Christ. It is only through Him that we have access to You, our Heavenly Father. Acts 4:12 tells us, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." If they have not yet surrendered their life to Jesus, we pray that they would do so today, confessing Him as Lord and believing in their heart that You raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9). Salvation is a free gift, and we pray they would receive it with open arms.
We also ask that You would lead them to a community of believers who can walk alongside them, pray with them, and encourage them in their faith. Hebrews 10:24-25 reminds us, "Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching."
Lord, we trust You to bring complete healing to their body, peace to their mind, and success in their job. May they experience Your presence in a tangible way and grow closer to You through this trial. We declare that this season of struggle will not define them but will instead draw them nearer to Your heart. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
