We lift up your father before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, asking our Heavenly Father to move mightily on his behalf. The Word tells us in Psalm 103:2-3, "Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits; who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases." We stand on this promise, believing that God is not only able but willing to bring healing and restoration to your father’s heart.
Father God, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the Great Physician. We ask that You would touch this precious man’s heart, ease his chest pain, and restore strength to his body. Lord, we know that You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We declare Your healing power over his life, rebuking every spirit of infirmity and sickness in Jesus’ name. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard his heart and mind as he trusts in You (Philippians 4:7).
We also want to gently remind you that healing comes from the Lord, and it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father. Acts 4:12 tells us, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" If your father does not yet know Jesus as his Lord and Savior, we pray that this time of struggle would draw him closer to the One who loves him most. Jesus came so that we might have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10), and that includes physical healing as well as eternal life.
We encourage you to continue seeking godly medical care while trusting in the Lord’s sovereignty. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." Let this be a time of drawing near to God, both for your father and for your family. We pray that you would find comfort in His presence and strength in His promises.
Lord, we also ask that You would give wisdom to the doctors and nurses caring for him. Guide their hands and their decisions, that they may be instruments of Your healing. Surround your father with Your angels, protecting him from further harm. We declare that no weapon formed against him will prosper (Isaiah 54:17) and that he will rise up in health to serve You all the days of his life.
In Jesus’ precious and powerful name, we pray. Amen.
