We are lifting up those unspoken needs and challenges, trusting that God knows each detail. We are reminded of Romans 8:26-27 WEB: "in the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don't know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can't be uttered. He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit's mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God". God knows what each one is going through and He cares for each one more than we can comprehend. We know that physical healing is possible with God. "Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective" James 5:14-16. We pray for complete healing for those who need it. We also pray for those struggling with emotional pain. We pray that they receive the comfort and support they need. "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed"Psalm 34:18.
Beloved, let us be clear that while we pray for physical and emotional healing, it is even more important that each one involved know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation". Romans 10:9-10. There is hope in Jesus. "I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out, and will find pasture. The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly" John 10:9-10. May each one involved come to know Jesus if they do not already. We pray that God brings good out of these situations and that through them, those involved will grow closer to God.
Heavenly Father, we lift up these individuals to You, knowing that You understand each detail of their struggles. We pray for Your healing touch on their lives, both physically and emotionally. Comfort them with Your presence, and help them to trust in Your goodness. Most importantly draw them closer to You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
