We hear the urgency and the depth of your cry and we join with you before the throne of grace in Jesus name. We are moved by your desire for forgiveness and for healing and we bring every part of your request to our merciful Father together.
We rejoice that you have come in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to God and it is only by His name that we are saved. Acts 4:12 says there is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved. John 14:6 says Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life and no one comes to the Father except through him. When we confess our sins to Him, His promise is sure. 1 John 1:9 says if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Psalm 103:2-3 says bless Yahweh, my soul, and do not forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases. There is no sin too great, no mistake too old, no failure known or unknown that the blood of Jesus cannot cover when we turn to Him with a repentant heart. Romans 10:9 says that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. We thank God that you are seeking His mercy and we assure you that His mercy is new every morning and His forgiveness is complete.
We also hear your earnest asking for healing from chronic fatigue and exhaustion, from asthma that has been with you since birth, from high platelets, from depression and anxiety and fear, and from so many sicknesses and infirmities, and from distress about your skin and eyes and body. We pray with you for the Lord's healing touch, for He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Jeremiah 30:17 says but I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh. Isaiah 53:5 says 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. We believe God is able to heal completely and permanently, and we ask Him to do so according to His perfect will and timing.
We want to gently encourage you about your understanding of asking and receiving. Matthew 7:7 says ask, and it will be given you, seek, and you will find, knock, and it will be opened for you, and this is a precious promise. Yet Scripture also teaches us to ask according to His will. 1 John 5:14 says this is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. God is not a formula to command for instant and exact results with no delay, but a loving Father who hears, who cares deeply, and who answers in wisdom and love, sometimes with immediate miracles and sometimes through ongoing restoration, through doctors and care, and always for our ultimate good. Romans 8:28 says we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.
We also want to speak with love about the great burden you feel regarding your appearance, the skin and eyes and lines and marks and all the details you have mentioned. We understand the pain of feeling tired and unwell and the desire to be refreshed and restored. God cares about your suffering and He sees every tear. Psalm 147:3 says he heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. At the same time we want to remind you that your worth and beauty in God's eyes is not measured by flawless skin or youthfulness or by having no blemish or wrinkle. 1 Samuel 16:7 says man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart. 1 Peter 3:3-4 says let your beauty be not just the outward adorning, but the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God very precious. Psalm 139:14 says we are fearfully and wonderfully made and His works are wonderful. We pray that as God brings healing to your body, He will also bring deep peace about who you are in Christ, that you would know you are beloved and valued and that true agelessness is found in the eternal life He gives.
We also lift up the heaviness of depression, anxiety and fear that you named. These are real afflictions and God does not want you to carry them alone. Philippians 4:6-7 says 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. 2 Timothy 1:7 says for God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. 1 Peter 5:7 says casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you. Matthew 11:28 says come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
We pray together now for you.
Father in heaven, we come before You together in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, and we thank You that we can approach Your throne with boldness because of His blood. We ask first for Your full forgiveness and cleansing over our dear one who is crying out to You. Wash away every sin, known and unknown, every mistake of the past, and let them know the assurance of being forgiven and made new in Christ. Fill them with Your mercy and let Your Holy Spirit bear witness that they are Your child.
Lord we ask for Your healing power to rest upon their body. You know the chronic fatigue and exhaustion, the asthma from birth and every symptom that tightens the breath, the high platelets, every sickness, disease and infirmity. Lay Your hand upon them and restore what is broken. We ask for healing of the eyes from dryness, watering, stinging and tiredness, and for healing of the skin and body from every concern they have carried for so long. Do what only You can do, and let their health be restored for Your glory. We pray also for their mind and heart, that You would lift all depression and anxiety and fear and replace it with Your perfect peace and joy and soundness of mind.
Father, we also ask that You heal the heart that feels weary about appearance. Help them to see themselves as You see them, precious, wonderfully made, and loved. Teach them to seek first Your kingdom and to find rest in Your acceptance, while You in Your kindness bring renewal and strength to their body. We ask that You guide them to wise and caring medical help where needed and that You would work through every means for their good.
We ask all of this not as a demand, but with humble trust in Your good and perfect will, believing that You hear us and that You love to give good gifts to Your children. Let Your will be done in their life and let Your name be glorified through their testimony. We trust You for miracles and for daily grace, for complete restoration in Your time.
We thank You Father that You have heard our prayer together in Jesus name. We ask You to surround this dear one with Your presence, to guard their heart and to let them feel Your nearness today and in the days to come. May they walk in the assurance of forgiveness, in hope for healing, and in peace that surpasses understanding. Amen.
