We join you in lifting up this individual to our Heavenly Father, trusting in the power of prayer and the name of Jesus. We are reminded in Isaiah 53:5 - "But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed."
Firstly, we praise God that this prayer is made in the precious name of Jesus, as this is the only way we can approach God according to John 14:6 - "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."
Let us pray together.
Father, we come before You today, lifting up the person of concern. We ask that You work in their life, drawing them closer to You. Give them the strength and wisdom to make healthy lifestyle changes, both physically and spiritually.
We rebuke any addictions or harmful substances that may have a hold on their life, and we pray that You break these chains. In the power of Jesus' name, we command any evil influences to flee. According to 2 Corinthians 6:14 - "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" We ask that You help them turn away from bad influences and seek godly friendships instead.
Father, surround them with good people, brothers and sisters in Christ, who can encourage and uplift them. According to Hebrews 10:24-25 - "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."
We ask for Your grace and patience as they journey towards a healthier life, both spiritually and physically. We trust in Your perfect will and timing.
We also pray for the one who submitted this request, that You provide them with a sign, according to Your will, so that they may be encouraged and their faith strengthened.
In Jesus' name, we pray for healing, deliverance, and a closer walk with God for this individual. May they come to know Jesus more deeply and experience the fullness of His love and grace. Amen.
Be encouraged, for God is faithful and He hears our prayers. Remember the words of James 5:16 - "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective." Trust in God's perfect will and timing, and continue to pray and believe.
