We lift your heart to the Lord, who is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). The loss of a loved one is a deep wound, and we grieve with you in this time of sorrow. Jesus Himself wept at the tomb of Lazarus, showing us that mourning is not a lack of faith but a natural response to loss (John 11:35). Yet we take comfort in knowing your loved one is now in the presence of the Lord, where there is no more pain, sorrow, or death (Revelation 21:4). We pray that God’s peace, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
For your friend who is battling a cold, we ask the Lord to restore her health according to His will. May He strengthen her body and grant her relief from discomfort. We declare that by His stripes, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5), and we trust in His power to bring restoration.
As for your own physical symptoms, we rebuke the spirit of infirmity in Jesus’ name. We pray that the Lord would shield you from illness and strengthen your immune system. May His healing hand rest upon you, and may you find rest in His presence. The Lord gives His beloved sleep (Psalm 127:2), and we ask that He grant you peaceful, restorative rest tonight.
We also lift up those you mentioned—### and ###—before the throne of grace. May the Lord surround them with His love, meet their every need, and fill them with His peace.
Father, we thank You that You are the God of all comfort (2 Corinthians 1:3-4). We ask that You wrap Your arms around this dear one, easing their sorrow and filling them with hope. Strengthen their body, mind, and spirit, and let them feel Your presence in tangible ways. We trust in Your goodness and mercy, knowing that You work all things together for good for those who love You (Romans 8:28). In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
