We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up this dear sister who is suffering with swollen legs and feet, making it difficult for her to walk. Father God, we know that You see her pain and hear her cries, and we ask that You would stretch forth Your healing hand upon her. 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 are the Great Physician who can restore her health.
Lord Jesus, we plead the precious blood that You shed on the cross over her body. By Your stripes, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5), and we claim that healing for her now. We rebuke every spirit of infirmity and sickness in the name of Jesus, for it is written in Luke 10:19, "Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you." We command every cell in her body to align with Your perfect will and for swelling to subside.
We also encourage this sister to seek wise medical counsel, for You have given doctors and nurses wisdom to care for the body. Proverbs 15:22 reminds us, "Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established." Let her trust in You while also using the resources You have provided.
Father, we ask that You would strengthen her faith as she waits on You. Remind her that You are near to the brokenhearted and save those who have a contrite spirit (Psalm 34:18). Surround her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and give her the grace to endure this trial with hope.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can approach You and the only name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12). May she come to know You more deeply through this season, and may Your glory be revealed in her healing. Amen.
