We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up this dear one who is very sick and congested. The Word of God reminds 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 the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven." We stand in faith, believing that our Heavenly Father hears our cries and is able to bring healing and restoration.
Father God, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we ask You to stretch forth Your healing hand upon this beloved one. We rebuke this sickness and congestion in the name of Jesus, for by His stripes, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). Lord, we ask that You would open their airways, bring comfort to their body, and restore their strength. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
We also pray for open and blessed doors in this season. You have promised in Revelation 3:8, "I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut." Father, we ask that You would make a way where there seems to be no way. Open doors of opportunity, provision, and breakthrough that align with Your perfect will. Remove any obstacles or hindrances that may be standing in the way, and let Your favor rest upon them.
Lord, we know that it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to You. There is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). We pray that this dear one would draw near to You, seeking Your face and Your will in all things. If there is any unconfessed sin or area of their life not surrendered to You, we ask that You would reveal it to them, that they may repent and walk in Your ways.
We declare that this sickness will not have the final say, for You are the God who raises the dead and calls those things that are not as though they were (Romans 4:17). We speak life, healing, and restoration over this situation. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and let them experience Your miraculous power in this time of need.
In the precious name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
