We hear your sadness and your worry about your lungs and we join with you in bringing this need before our Father. It is understandable to feel anxious when test results are not what you hoped and when another important appointment is ahead tomorrow. We want you to know we are carrying this burden with you and lifting you up together before the Lord who sees you and cares deeply for you.
We are reminded that our God is our healer and our comfort. Scripture tells us He forgives all our sins and heals all our diseases in Psalm 103:3 and that He says But I will restore you to health, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh in Jeremiah 30:17. He also reminds us I am Yahweh who heals you in Exodus 15:26. We also take comfort in His promise to be near when we are afraid where He says Don't you be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you in Isaiah 41:10. And when anxiety rises, we are told In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus in Philippians 4:6-7.
We noticed you called upon Father God in your request, and we gently want to share how precious it is that we come to the Father through Jesus Christ. It is only through Him that we have access to God, for Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me in John 14:6. 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 in Acts 4:12. If you have not yet put your trust in Jesus, we encourage you to believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, for if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved in Romans 10:9. It is through His name we can boldly bring your need for healing to the throne of grace.
We pray together now for you. Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we lift up this dear one to You. You know the concern over these lungs and the disappointment from the allergist reading and the appointment tomorrow with the lung doctor. We ask for Your healing hand upon these lungs, that You would restore health and bring a better reading and good results according to Your perfect will. Guide the doctors and give them wisdom and clarity in testing and diagnosis. Grant peace that surpasses understanding to calm fear and sadness, and help our friend to rest in Your loving care. Let Your will be done and let Your healing and strength be made known. We thank You that You hear us when we pray in Jesus name and we trust You with this outcome. Amen.
We encourage you to continue to seek care and to keep trusting the Lord each step, whether the results are quickly improved or healing comes over time. He is with you in the waiting room and in every breath. We are continuing to pray with you for healthy lungs and for Your peace to guard your heart tomorrow and in the days ahead.
