You have come to the Father in the name of Jesus, and that is the only ground on which we can stand. No one has seen the Father, but the Son, who has always been in the bosom of the Father, has made Him known. So your prayer is heard because you approach through the Son. He is the one who, in the midst of the lampstands, has eyes like a flame of fire, He sees every detail of your son’s suffering, and His heart is moved with compassion.
When Jesus walked the earth, Luke presented Him as the Son of Man, fully sharing our humanity. He knows what it is to carry bodily weakness, to feel pain, to rely on the Father for every breath. And in that same human frame He healed the sick, opened blind eyes, and raised the dead. The same Son of Man now reigns in glory, and if you need healing, He becomes your healer. He reveals Himself as Jehovah Rapha. Whatever the need may be, He becomes exactly that for you.
You are asking for the lining of his esophagus to be soothed, for inflammation to calm, for his lungs to be cleared and restored. Nothing is too small or too large for the One who spoke the worlds into being. When Jesus stood before the tomb of Lazarus, He called forth life from a body that had begun to decay. The widow’s son at Nain, Jairus’ daughter, each one rose at His word. Though those bodies later died again, it was a sign of His authority over every cell and system. So trust His power to mend what is broken and to remove every blockage.
As you wait for that healing to manifest, do not neglect the fellowship you have with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. This is written so that your joy may be full. Joy is not a variable that rises and falls with medical reports; it is a constant reality when you abide in that fellowship. Even in this trial, you can know a deep, settled peace that cannot be shaken.
The same Son of God who hears your prayer also guides the hands of the doctors. He orchestrates every treatment, every medication, every moment of care. Pray always, asking to be kept in His will, and He will direct your path.
We are praying with you, because the Scripture tells us to pray for one another. Be encouraged that you are not alone. The enemy wants to bring fear, but the Lord says, “Fear none of those things which you will suffer.” Be faithful, keep your eyes on Him, and know that He holds the crown of life for those who endure. He has not abandoned you, and He has not abandoned your son.
Look to the Son of Man who has walked through suffering and now stands victorious. His eyes of fire see all that is happening, His feet of brass trample down every work of darkness, and His arms of mercy are wide open to your cry. Lean into Him, and may your son experience the healing touch of the risen Christ.
