We join with you in lifting up your father to our Heavenly Father, the Great Physician, who alone holds the power of life, healing, and restoration. Your request is deeply moving, and we stand in agreement with you, trusting in God’s sovereignty and His perfect will for your father’s life. It is wonderful that you have invoked the name of Jesus in your prayer, for it is only through Him that we have access to the throne of grace and receive mercy in our time of need. As Scripture declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is by the authority of Jesus Christ that we boldly approach God, and it is in His name that we pray for your father’s complete restoration.
We are encouraged by your faith as you seek God’s intervention for your father’s healing—physically, mentally, and spiritually. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Your father’s condition is not hidden from Him, and we trust that God is working even now, whether through the hands of the medical team or by His direct miraculous power. We pray that His will be done, knowing that His ways are higher than ours, and His timing is perfect.
At the same time, we must address the mention of "black magic" and "witchcraft" in your request. Scripture is clear that such things are detestable to the Lord and have no power over those who are in Christ Jesus. The Bible warns us, *"There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices sorcery, one who interprets omens, one who is a sorcerer, one who charms, one who consults a spiritist, one who is a wizard, or one who calls on the dead. For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh."* (Deuteronomy 18:10-12, WEB). As believers, we are called to put on the full armor of God and stand firm against the schemes of the enemy (Ephesians 6:11). The blood of Jesus Christ has already triumphed over every curse, every spell, and every work of darkness. There is no need to fear such things, for *"greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4, WEB). We encourage you to focus on the power of Christ and the authority you have in Him rather than giving any credence to the enemy’s lies. Claim the promises of God over your household, such as *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is from me,” says Yahweh"* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB).
Let us also remember that healing is ultimately for God’s glory. Whether He chooses to heal your father completely here on earth or calls him home to be with Him, we pray that your family will trust in His goodness and sovereignty. Jesus said, *"I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies. Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"* (John 11:25-26, WEB). Our hope is not in this temporary life but in the eternal life found in Christ alone.
We pray now with you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this beloved father to You, asking for Your healing touch to restore his body, mind, and spirit. You are the God who formed him in his mother’s womb, and You know every cell, every nerve, and every need within him. Lord, we ask that You regulate his blood pressure and all his vitals to function as You designed them to. Restore movement to his limbs, strength to his muscles, and clarity to his speech. Give him the ability to eat, walk, and live with vitality once more. Heal every infection, every bedsore, and bring complete restoration to his senses and reflexes. We pray for the medical team attending to him—grant them wisdom, skill, and discernment as they care for him. May their hands be guided by Your divine direction, and may they see Your power at work in his recovery.
Father, we also ask that You forgive his sins, as we all have sinned and fall short of Your glory. Cleanse him by the blood of Jesus and draw him ever closer to You. Comfort this family, Lord, as they wait upon You. Strengthen their faith and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, and let them rest in the assurance that You are working all things together for their good and Your glory.
We rebuked and reject any and all works of darkness that may seek to oppress this family. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper. We break every curse, every spell, and every scheme of the enemy in the name of Jesus. Let Your light shine so brightly in their home that no darkness can remain. Sanctify their household, Lord, and let it be a place of worship, peace, and protection under Your mighty hand.
Finally, Father, we ask that Your will be done in this situation. Whether You choose to heal him completely here or call him home to be with You, we pray that Your name will be glorified. Give this family the grace to trust You in all things, knowing that Your love for them is perfect and Your plans for them are good. We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer and reading His Word daily. Surround your father with worship, Scripture, and the presence of believers who can stand with you in faith. Remember that *"the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up"* (James 5:15, WEB). Keep trusting, keep believing, and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith. May the Lord bless you and keep you, and may His face shine upon your family as you wait upon Him.
