We understand your fear and discomfort, and we want to lift you up in prayer, trusting in the Lord’s power to heal and protect. It’s clear you’re feeling vulnerable, both physically and emotionally, but we serve a God who is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. The Scriptures remind us in Psalm 91:9-10, *"Because you have made Yahweh your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place, no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling."* And again in Psalm 103:2-3, *"Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases."*
We notice you called out to Jesus and God in your request, and that is wonderful because it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father. Jesus Himself said in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* Your faith in crying out to Him is a testament to your trust in His power, and we join you in that faith, believing He hears and answers.
However, we also want to gently remind you that while fear is a natural human response, we are called to trust in the Lord rather than be overwhelmed by anxiety. Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:27, *"Which of you by being anxious can add one moment to his lifespan?"* Instead, we are to cast our cares upon Him, for He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), and we pray that you would treat it with care, trusting God’s design for healing—whether through medicine, rest, or His direct intervention.
We also want to encourage you to lean on the Lord during your therapy session. If there are emotional or spiritual struggles tied to this fear, ask the Holy Spirit to guide your conversations and bring you peace. Philippians 4:6-7 says, *"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."*
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, asking for Your healing touch to be upon their body. Lord, You are the Great Physician, and we ask that You would rebuke this sickness—this sore throat, cough, and runny nose—and restore them to full health. Let the medication work effectively, and may their body respond quickly to Your healing power. We pray for protection over them as they travel to their therapy session, that no further illness would come near them, and that You would surround them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
Lord, we also ask that You would calm their fears and fill them with Your Spirit. Remind them that You are with them, that You have not given them a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Cover them in Your blood, Jesus, and let no weapon formed against them prosper. We ask that their therapy session would be fruitful, that You would speak through their therapist, and that every word spoken would align with Your truth and bring glory to Your name.
We rebuke any spirit of anxiety or sickness in the name of Jesus Christ, commanding it to flee and not return. Father, let Your will be done in their life, and may they walk in the confidence that You are their healer, protector, and provider. We thank You for Your goodness and mercy, which follow them all the days of their life. In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer, reading His Word, and resting in His promises. If this illness lingers, don’t hesitate to seek further medical attention, trusting that God often works through the hands of doctors. Stay strong in your faith, and remember that fear does not have the final say—Jesus does. May the Lord bless you and keep you, and may His face shine upon you with grace and peace.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
