We come before the Lord with grateful hearts that you have sought Him in this time of physical struggle, lifting your need for healing in the mighty name of Jesus. The Scriptures remind us in James 5:14-15, *"Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven."* We claim this promise over you today, trusting that our Heavenly Father hears and answers the prayers of His children.
Breath is a precious gift from God, a reminder that life itself comes from Him. In Genesis 2:7, we read, *"Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."* We pray that the Lord, who gave you breath, will restore it fully and completely. May He strengthen your lungs, calm any anxiety or fear, and bring healing to every part of your body that is not functioning as He designed. We rebuke any sickness, disease, or spiritual oppression that may be contributing to this difficulty, commanding it to flee in the name of Jesus Christ.
We also encourage you to examine your heart and life, as sometimes physical ailments can be connected to unconfessed sin, stress, or spiritual burdens. Psalm 32:3-5 says, *"When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night your hand was heavy on me. My strength was sapped as in the heat of summer. I acknowledged my sin to you. I didn’t hide my iniquity. I said, I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh, and you forgave the iniquity of my sin."* If there is anything the Lord is bringing to your attention, we urge you to repent and surrender it to Him, that you may walk in fullness of health and peace.
Father, we thank You that You are Jehovah-Rapha, the Lord who heals. We ask that You lay Your healing hand upon our brother/sister and restore their breath to full strength. Fill their lungs with Your life-giving air and let every breath they take glorify You. Remove any obstruction, inflammation, or weakness, and let Your healing power flow through their body. We pray for wisdom for any doctors or medical professionals involved in their care, that they may be guided by Your hand to provide the right treatment.
Lord, we also ask that You grant them patience and faith during this time. Let them rest in Your presence, knowing that You are their strength and shield. As they wait on You, renew their strength as the eagle, that they may run and not be weary, walk and not faint (Isaiah 40:31). Surround them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
We declare that by the stripes of Jesus, they are healed (1 Peter 2:24). We stand in agreement with your prayer, believing that the Lord will restore you completely. May this trial draw you closer to Him, deepening your trust and reliance on His goodness. We will continue to lift you up, knowing that our God is faithful and His promises are true.
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
