We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this urgent request for healing and protection. First, we must address the importance of approaching God in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ. It is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father.
Now, we lift up this matter of physical affliction, trusting in the Great Physician, who hears our cries. The Bible tells us in James 5:14-15, "Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, 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." We believe in the power of prayer and the healing hand of our Lord.
Father God, in the mighty name of Jesus, we come before Your throne of grace, seeking mercy and healing for this dear one who is suffering with stomach pain. Lord, You are the God who sees and knows all things. You formed our inward parts and knit us together in our mothers' wombs (Psalm 139:13). You know the number of hairs on our heads (Matthew 10:30), and nothing is hidden from Your sight.
We ask, Lord, that You would touch this body and bring healing and relief. We rebuke any spirit of infirmity or sickness in the name of Jesus, for it is written in Luke 10:19, "Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you." We command this pain to leave and declare that by Your stripes, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5).
Lord, we also pray for protection over this individual. Guard them from further harm and surround them with Your angels, as it is written in Psalm 91:11-12, "For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone." We trust in Your unfailing love and mighty power to deliver and protect.
We encourage this dear one to draw near to God, to seek His face, and to trust in His promises. Remember, the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Continue to seek medical attention if needed, but always with the understanding that true healing comes from the Lord.
In times of physical affliction, it is also essential to examine our hearts and lives. Are there any areas where we have strayed from God's will? Are there sins that need to be confessed and repented of? The Bible tells us in 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Let us come before the Lord with humble and contrite hearts, seeking His forgiveness and cleansing.
Father, we also pray for peace and comfort to surround this individual. May they feel Your presence and love in a tangible way. Remind them that You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Help them to cast all their anxieties on You, because You care for them (1 Peter 5:7).
We declare that this sickness will not end in death but is for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it (John 11:4). We trust in Your perfect will and timing, Lord. May this trial draw this individual closer to You and strengthen their faith.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
