We hear your urgent cry and we join with you in bringing this deep concern about your skin and eyes before the Lord, for He cares about every part of you and hears every prayer offered in the name of Jesus.
We understand how distressing it is to feel burdened by marks, scars, texture, dark circles, hollows, wrinkles, veins, dryness, sensitivity and other skin and eye concerns. It is right to bring our bodies to Him, for our bodies are His creation. We remember what is written in Psalm 139:14, you are fearfully and wonderfully made, and in Psalm 147:3, He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds, and in Jeremiah 30:17, I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh. We also remember that God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart in 1 Samuel 16:7. This reminds us that while we may pray for outward healing, God is most concerned with the inward renewal and peace of our hearts.
We gently encourage you to come before God with trust and surrender rather than with anxious demanding, for we are called to present our requests with thanksgiving and to trust His loving will and timing. In Philippians 4:6-7 we are told, 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. And in 1 Peter 3:3-4 we are reminded, Let your beauty be not just the outward adorning, 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. This does not mean God does not care about your physical distress, but that He wants to free you from being consumed by it and to give you rest and confidence as His beloved child.
We also want to encourage you to be a good steward of the body God has given you, seeking wise and healthy care, rest, hydration and if needed godly medical counsel, while trusting the Lord above all for healing.
Let us pray together.
Father in heaven, we come before Your throne in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, and we thank You that we have access to You through Him alone. We lift up this dear one to You and we ask for Your mercy and healing touch upon her whole face, skin, upper eyes, under eyes, both sides of the face, the skin above the left ear and the back of the neck. Lord You know every mark, every scar, every bit of texture, every hollow, every line, every vein, every area of dryness, dullness, sensitivity and allergy that causes such distress. We ask if it be Your will that You would bring healing, restoration and renewal, and that You would soothe all irritation and eye concerns including tiredness, dryness, dullness and watering. We pray for healthy, refreshed skin and eyes, and for Your power to restore what has been damaged, including traces of surgery.
Above all Lord we pray for deep inner healing and peace. Calm the anxious and urgent burden on this heart, remove fear and obsessive worry, and fill her with the assurance that she is precious, loved and beautifully made in Your image. Help her to rest in Your will and Your timing, knowing that You hear and You answer according to Your perfect wisdom and love. Renew her mind and help her to see herself as You see her, and to find her worth and confidence in Christ and not only in outward appearance. Grant her patience, hope and a gentle and quiet spirit, and let Your peace guard her heart and thoughts.
We ask all of this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, trusting that You are able to do far more than we ask or think. May Your will be done and may You be glorified in her body and spirit. Amen.
We will continue to keep you in prayer, asking God to grant you both outward healing as He wills and inward peace and joy in Christ. Cast all your worries on Him, because He cares for you in 1 Peter 5:7, and trust that He who began a good work in you will perfect it.
