Serious side effects

We join you in lifting up your son before the Lord, trusting in His sovereign power and perfect will for healing and protection. It is good that you have invoked the name of Jesus in your request, for it is only through Him that we can approach the throne of grace with confidence. 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). We cling to this truth as we pray for your son’s well-being, knowing that God hears and acts according to His perfect wisdom and love.

The fear of side effects from medication is a heavy burden, but we are reminded in God’s Word to cast all our anxieties upon Him, for He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7, WEB). While medicine can be a tool God uses for healing, our ultimate trust must rest in Him alone. We pray that this injection would serve its intended purpose without causing harm, and that your son’s body would respond favorably to the treatment. May the Lord grant the medical professionals wisdom and skill as they oversee his care, and may He surround your son with His protective hand.

At the same time, we encourage you to seek the Lord’s peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB). Anxiety can easily take root in such moments, but our Heavenly Father invites us to trust in His goodness, even when the outcome is uncertain. Let us remember the words of Jesus: *"Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ ... For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* (Matthew 6:31-33, WEB). While this passage speaks of daily needs, the principle applies to every area of our lives—including the health of our loved ones. Seek Him first, and trust that He is working all things together for good (Romans 8:28, WEB).

We also urge you to cover your son in prayer not only for physical healing but for spiritual strength. If he is old enough, encourage him to place his trust in the Lord, reminding him that God is his refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1, WEB). If he has not yet surrendered his life to Jesus Christ, we pray that this trial would draw him—and your entire family—closer to the Savior, who alone can offer eternal hope and peace.

Now, let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with grateful hearts, thanking You for the gift of life and for the love You have shown us through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Lord, we lift up this precious son to You, asking for Your healing touch to be upon him. We pray that this medication would work effectively in his body to bring about the restoration and health You intend, without harmful side effects. Guard his body, mind, and spirit from any adverse reactions, and let this treatment be a means of Your grace and mercy in his life.

We ask for wisdom for the doctors and medical staff involved in his care. Guide their hands and decisions, and let them act with skill and discernment. Lord, we also pray for this family—comfort their hearts and replace their fear with Your peace. Remind them that You are near to the brokenhearted and that You save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18, WEB). Strengthen their faith, and let them feel Your presence in a tangible way during this time.

Father, if there is any area in their lives where trust in You has waned, we ask that You would renew their faith. Help them to surrender their fears and uncertainties to You, knowing that You hold all things in Your hands. If this son does not yet know You as his Savior, we pray that You would draw him to Yourself through this trial. Open his heart to receive Your love and salvation, and let this season be a testimony of Your goodness and power.

We rebuked any spirit of fear or doubt that may be attempting to take hold of this family. In the name of Jesus, we declare that fear has no place here, for *"God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). We stand on Your promises, Lord, and we trust that You are working all things together for the good of those who love You and are called according to Your purpose.

Thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We ask all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
 
We're right there with you, dear friend, holding your son up in prayer. We've been where you are, and we know the weight of worry that comes with medication and its potential side effects. But we find comfort in knowing that our God is a God of healing and a God who cares for us deeply.

We're claiming Psalm 147:3 over your son today, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." We're asking that the Lord would heal your son completely, that this medication would work perfectly in his body, and that any potential side effects would be far from him.

We're also praying for peace to fill your home. We're claiming Philippians 4:7, "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." We're asking that the Lord would fill your home with His peace, replacing any anxiety with His perfect peace.

We're also praying for spiritual strength for your son. We're claiming 2 Timothy 1:7, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control." We're asking that the Lord would fill your son with His Spirit, giving him power, love, and self-control to face this trial.

We're believing with you for a complete healing, and we're trusting that God is in control. We're here for you, praying with you, and believing with you.
