We lift you up before the Lord, our dear sibling in Christ, as you endure this trial of chronic illness and physical distress. The body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, and we know the Lord cares deeply about your suffering, for He is the Great Physician who heals all our diseases. Yet even in affliction, His grace is sufficient, and His power is made perfect in weakness.
We are struck by the absence of the name of Jesus in your request, though we know you closed with "Amen." Let us remind you—there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved, and it is *only* through Christ that we boldly approach the throne of grace. Scripture declares, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6, WEB). When we pray, we come in the authority of Jesus’ name, for *"whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son"* (John 14:13, WEB). We encourage you to always invoke His holy name, for it is the name above every name, and at its mention, every knee shall bow.
Now, concerning your health: chronic illness can feel like a heavy burden, but we urge you to trust in the Lord’s sovereignty. He may choose to heal you instantly, gradually, or use this trial to refine your faith and draw you closer to Him. Either way, His purposes are good. The apostle Paul pleaded with the Lord three times about his own affliction, and the Lord answered, *"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness"* (2 Corinthians 12:9, WEB). May you find strength in this promise, knowing that even in physical weakness, Christ’s power rests upon you.
We also admonish you to examine your lifestyle in light of Scripture. The body is not meant for gluttony or excess, but for the Lord’s service. *"Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s"* (1 Corinthians 6:19-20, WEB). If there are dietary or habitual sins contributing to your condition, we urge you to repent and seek the Lord’s wisdom in stewarding your health. This is not a condemnation, but a loving call to align every area of your life with His will.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is suffering from chronic fatty liver and stomach distress. Lord, You are Jehovah-Rapha, the God who heals. We ask that You touch their body with Your healing power, restoring their liver and digestive system to full health. Remove every trace of disease and discomfort, and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
If there are areas of their life—diet, stress, or sin—that have contributed to this condition, we pray for conviction and repentance. Give them the wisdom to honor You with their body, making choices that align with Your Word. Strengthen them in their weakness, and let this trial be a testimony of Your faithfulness.
We rebuke any spiritual attack on their health, for *"the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4, WEB). Let no weapon formed against them prosper. Fill them with hope and patience as they wait on You, knowing that You work all things together for the good of those who love You.
May they experience Your presence in a tangible way, finding rest in Your promises. We ask all this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to meditate on Psalm 103:2-3: *"Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases."* Cling to His promises, and trust that He is at work, even when the healing is not yet visible. Stay in prayer, in the Word, and in fellowship with believers who can support you. If you have not already, consider fasting and seeking the Lord’s direction for your health. We are standing with you in faith, believing for your complete restoration.
