We hear the urgency in your cry and we join with you right now lifting your whole face and skin before the Lord together in Jesus name. We know how distressing it can be to look in the mirror and feel burdened by marks, scars, dents and skin issues, and we want you to know that God sees you, He cares deeply about your pain, and He hears every prayer you bring to Him.
We are reminded of how wonderfully He has made you, for we read I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well. Psalm 139:14. Even when we struggle with how we look, our value and beauty in His eyes is not diminished. He also reminds us Let your beauty be not just the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on fine clothing; but in 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. This does not mean He does not care about our physical suffering, He does, but He wants us to know our deepest worth is in Him.
We also hear your fervent desire for immediate and complete healing, and we understand that longing. We serve a God who is able to heal, for we read For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh. Jeremiah 30:17 and But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed. Isaiah 53:5. We believe with you that nothing is impossible for Him. At the same time we gently encourage you to come before Him with humble trust in His perfect will and timing rather than demanding He must act instantly in the way we prescribe, for His ways are higher than ours and He works all things for good for those who love Him. Romans 8:28.
We also want to encourage you to bring your anxiety to Him and find His peace while you wait, as we read In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7. He invites you to keep asking, seeking and trusting, and He may also use wise medical care and stewardship of your body as part of His provision for healing.
So we pray together now.
Father in heaven, we come before Your throne of grace in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and we lift up this dear one to You. You know every mark, every scar, every dent and every concern about their skin, You know the distress it has caused and the longing for it to be made smooth and whole. Lord we ask in Jesus name that You would touch their whole face and skin with Your healing hand according to Your mercy and will. If it be Your will, restore and renew their skin completely and permanently, and let Your healing power be displayed for Your glory. We ask You to pour out Your peace that surpasses all understanding upon them, to calm their anxious heart, to remind them that they are fearfully and wonderfully made and deeply loved by You. Help them to trust in Your goodness and Your timing, to find their confidence not only in outward appearance but in the gentle and quiet spirit that is precious to You, and to walk in hope knowing You are working for their good. We thank You that we can come to You only through Jesus, and we rest in His name and His finished work on the cross. Let Your will be done in their life and let them feel Your presence and comfort today. In Jesus name we pray, amen.
