We have heard your very urgent cry and we join together with you before the throne of grace in Jesus' name, bringing your whole heart and your concerns about your face, skin and eyes to the Lord who loves you and sees you intimately.
We understand how deeply distressing it can be to feel unhappy with your appearance, to carry marks and scars and traces of surgery, and to long for healing and restoration. We want to pray for your healing and also to gently encourage you with what Scripture teaches about our bodies and our worth in God's eyes. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, Psalm 139:14, and the Lord does not look as man looks, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart, 1 Samuel 16:7. Your value to God is not measured by flawless skin or any outward standard, but by being His beloved creation, redeemed through Christ. Scripture also reminds us that beauty should not be merely outward, but the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God, 1 Peter 3:3-4.
We also want to lovingly address the way we come to God in prayer. You quoted that if we ask we will receive, and it is true that Jesus said Ask, and it will be given you, Matthew 7:7, and we are invited to make our requests known to God, Philippians 4:6-7. Yet Scripture also teaches us to ask according to His will, 1 John 5:14, and that we do not command God or demand that He act instantly without delay according to our exact words. You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, James 4:3. God is sovereign, loving and wise, and He answers prayer for our good and His glory, working all things together for good for those who love Him, Romans 8:28. He is not a formula to produce miracles on demand, but a Father who hears and answers in His perfect timing and way, sometimes with physical healing, sometimes with strength, peace and contentment as we trust Him. We also encourage you to seek His kingdom first, Matthew 6:33, trusting that as you seek Him, He will care for all your needs, including the anxieties of your heart about your appearance.
We do care about your physical concerns and we do believe God is able to heal, and we will bring them to Him, while also praying for your peace and for freedom from obsessive worry and the burden of feeling you must achieve a perfect standard like glass skin to be worthy or at ease.
We pray together now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus Christ, thanking You that we have access to You only through Him. We lift up this dear one to You. You know every detail of her face, skin and eyes, every scar, mark, line, spot, dryness and weariness, every concern that weighs so heavily on her heart. Lord, we ask for Your healing touch according to Your perfect will. If it is Your will, we ask You to bring restoration and health to her skin and eyes, to ease irritation and dryness, to bring comfort and wholeness. Above all, we ask You to touch her whole being with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, Philippians 4:7, and to guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Help her to see herself as You see her, fearfully and wonderfully made and deeply loved, and to know that her body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, to be stewarded with care and not with harshness or despair. Deliver her from anxiety and the pressure to demand perfection immediately, and teach her to rest in Your grace and timing. Give her wisdom to care for her body in healthy ways, to seek wise counsel when needed, and to trust You day by day. Make her inner life more and more radiant with Your presence, that she may know true beauty and joy that does not fade. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, amen.
We encourage you to continue to bring your requests to God honestly but also with surrender, saying as Jesus did, not my will, but Yours be done, Luke 22:42. Rest in His love, care for your body with gentleness, get proper rest, nourishment and wise medical guidance if needed, and fix your hope not on a flawless outward appearance but on the unfailing love of Christ who makes you new from the inside out. We are praying that you will feel His nearness, His comfort and His perfect peace as you trust Him.
