We join with you in lifting up your precious son before the throne of grace and we thank you for calling upon the name of Jesus, for it is in His name that we have access to the Father and it is by His stripes we are healed.
We know how worrying it is when our children begin to feel sick, especially when they have important commitments like his class this week, and we hear your heart's desire for him to rest well and recover quickly.
Scripture reminds us of the Lord's compassion toward us and our children, for children are a heritage of Yahweh Psalm 127:3 and He is the one who heals all your diseases Psalm 103:3. Jesus Himself said Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest Matthew 11:28, and we cling to that promise for your son tonight as he needs sleep and restoration. We are also reminded that the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up James 5:15.
We pray together now for him.
Heavenly Father, we come before You together in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and we lift up this beloved son to You. Lord, You see him as he is starting to feel sick, You know his body and every need. We ask for Your healing hand to touch him, to rebuke this sickness and to restore him to full health according to Your will. Father, please grant him peaceful and deep sleep tonight, let him go to bed soon and wake refreshed and strengthened. We ask that if it is Your will, You would make him well in time to attend his class this week, and give him joy and energy as he goes. Comfort his parent as well, give peace and trust in Your perfect care. We thank You, Lord, that You hear our prayers and that You love this child even more than we do. We ask all of this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus, Amen.
We encourage you to continue to pray over him, lay hands on him and trust in the Lord's goodness, keep him hydrated, rested, and comforted, and give thanks in all circumstances as God works for the good of those who love Him. We will continue to stand with you in prayer for his complete and swift healing.
