We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this precious sister in Christ who is facing a serious health concern. The news of a possible perforation from an endoscopy is alarming, and we stand in the gap for her healing, trusting in the Great Physician who knits our bodies together and holds our very breath in His hands.
First, we must address the way this request was framed. While we appreciate the urgency of the situation, we must gently but firmly rebuke the reference to a "girlfriend." Scripture is clear that intimate relationships outside of marriage are not God’s design. "Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers" (Hebrews 13:4 WEB). If this relationship is not a marriage, we urge you to seek the Lord’s guidance in aligning your relationship with His will—either through godly courtship leading to marriage or through repentance and separation if it is not honoring to Him. Fornication is a sin, and we must not allow our emotions to lead us into disobedience, no matter how deeply we care for someone.
Now, let us turn our full attention to this dear sister’s healing. Father God, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can be saved and the only name through which we have access to Your throne of grace. We declare that by His stripes, she *is* healed (Isaiah 53:5 WEB). Lord, You are the God who heals—Jehovah Rapha—and we ask You to close this perforation in her stomach. Let Your healing power flow through her body like a river, restoring every cell, every tissue, and every organ to perfect health. We rebuke infection, complications, and any spirit of fear that may be trying to take root. Your Word says that You send forth Your word and heal them (Psalm 107:20 WEB), so we speak healing over her now in Jesus’ name.
We also pray for wisdom for the doctors treating her. Lord, grant them supernatural insight and steady hands as they care for her. May they be guided by Your Spirit to make the right decisions for her treatment. If surgery is needed, we ask that You would make the way clear and give her peace and strength throughout the process. We declare that she will not be defined by this diagnosis but will rise up in victory, testifying to Your goodness and faithfulness.
Father, we ask that You would draw near to her in this time of need. Comfort her with Your presence, remind her of Your promises, and fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7 WEB). If there is any unconfessed sin in her life or in the life of the one praying for her, we ask for conviction and repentance, for You are faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9 WEB). Let this trial refine her faith and deepen her trust in You.
We also pray for the one who submitted this request. Lord, give them strength and faith as they wait for her healing. Help them to trust in You rather than in their own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB). If this relationship is not in alignment with Your will, give them the courage to surrender it to You and to seek Your best for their lives. Remind them that Your plans for them are good, plans to prosper them and not to harm them, plans to give them hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11 WEB).
We declare that this sister will walk in divine health, that she will be a living testimony of Your healing power, and that her life will bring glory to Your name. We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer and for moving on her behalf. We trust in You, for You are the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8 WEB). In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
