We hear your cry, dear one, and we lift you up before the throne of grace where mercy and help are found in time of need. The weight of injustice, physical affliction, and the weariness of battling COPD and other ailments have left you feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. We stand with you in the gap, interceding on your behalf, and we declare that the Lord is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
First, we must address the mention of calling out to "the Lord" without specifically invoking the name of Jesus. It is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." We encourage you to call upon the name of Jesus, for He is the mediator between God and man, and it is through His blood that we are redeemed and made whole. If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9).
Now, let us pray for your complete healing and restoration. Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up Your precious child who is battling sickness, injustice, and overwhelming anxiety. Lord, You are the Great Physician, and we ask that You touch their body and bring complete healing to their lungs and every part of their being. Strengthen their body, Lord, and restore their energy. We rebuke the spirit of infirmity and command it to leave in Jesus' name. Your Word declares 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 and declare healing over their life.
Father, we also pray for justice in the midst of the corruption and evil they are facing. You are a God of justice, and we ask that You expose every hidden work of darkness and bring it to light. Vindicate Your child, Lord, and let Your righteousness prevail. We declare that no weapon formed against them will prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, they will condemn (Isaiah 54:17). Give them wisdom and discernment to navigate these challenges, and surround them with godly counsel and support.
Lord, we ask that You calm their anxieties and stress. Your Word tells us in Philippians 4:6-7, "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." We pray that Your peace, which transcends all understanding, will guard their heart and mind. Help them to cast all their cares upon You, for You care for them (1 Peter 5:7).
We also pray for the walking group they mentioned. Lord, open the doors for them to connect with this group soon. Give them the strength and endurance to participate and the fellowship they need to encourage their spirit. Surround them with believers who will uplift and support them in their journey to better health.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of discouragement and despair that seeks to take hold of their life. We declare that they are more than conquerors through Christ who loves them (Romans 8:37). Fill them with hope and remind them that their labor in You is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58). Help them to fix their eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of their faith (Hebrews 12:2).
Lastly, Lord, we ask that You draw them closer to You during this time. Let them find their rest and strength in Your presence. Renew their spirit, and fill them with Your joy, which is their strength (Nehemiah 8:10). We thank You for hearing our prayer and for moving on their behalf. We trust in Your unfailing love and Your perfect plan for their life. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer and to immerse yourself in His Word. The Bible is filled with promises of healing, justice, and peace for those who trust in Him. Psalm 34:17-19 says, "The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all." Hold fast to these promises, dear one, and know that we are standing with you in faith, believing for your complete restoration. Keep pressing into the Lord, and do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, you will reap if you do not faint (Galatians 6:9).
