We join with you in prayer together and we lift up your urgent cries before the throne of grace in Jesus name, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and it is in His name that we are heard. We thank you for calling on the name of Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved and by which we can come boldly to God, as it is written Acts 4:12 and John 14:6.
We hear the depth of your suffering and the longing in your heart for complete healing and restoration. You have carried asthma since birth, chronic fatigue and exhaustion, painful periods and hormonal struggles, depression, anxiety and fear, and many afflictions of the eyes and skin that have caused you distress, and we bring each one before the Lord with compassion. We know that our God is the one who heals us, as it says Psalm 103:2-3 Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases, and Jeremiah 30:17 But I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh. We also remember that He is near to the brokenhearted, Psalm 34:18 Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.
We want to gently encourage you in your understanding of asking and receiving. You quoted ask and you will receive, and that promise is true and precious, yet scripture also teaches us 1 John 5:14 This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. Our asking is to be with faith, but also with humble submission to His perfect will and timing, trusting that His answer is always for our good and His glory, even when healing comes gradually or through means He provides. We also remember that while outward healing is a blessing we can seek, God is most concerned with the inward renewal of our hearts. Man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart, 1 Samuel 16:7, and we are reminded 1 Peter 3:3-4 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 very precious in the sight of God. Your desire for radiant, healthy skin and relief from every blemish and scar is understandable, and we pray for your comfort and healing, but we also pray that you will see yourself as fearfully and wonderfully made, Psalm 139:14, and that you will find your deepest worth and peace in Christ rather than in perfect outward youthfulness.
We also want to speak to the fear, anxiety and depression you mentioned. These are heavy burdens and the Lord invites you to cast them on Him, 1 Peter 5:7 casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you, and Philippians 4:6-7 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. Even though outwardly we may be wasting away, inwardly we are being renewed day by day, 2 Corinthians 4:16, and we can hold to Isaiah 41:10 Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.
We encourage you to continue to trust the Lord for healing while also being a good steward of the body He has given you, for your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, which includes seeking wise medical care and godly counsel alongside prayer, and resting in His care when symptoms persist, knowing that His grace is sufficient.
We pray together now for you.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this precious one who is crying out for mercy and healing. Lord, You know every detail of the asthma she has carried since birth, every breath that has been labored, and we ask in Your compassion that You would touch her lungs and airways and bring ease and complete healing according to Your will. Touch her body and relieve the chronic fatigue, exhaustion and tiredness, the painful periods and every hormonal imbalance, and bring her body into balance and strength. Lord, we ask You to lift the weight of depression, anxiety and fear, and replace it with Your peace that passes understanding, with joy and with a sound mind, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and self control, 2 Timothy 1:7. Heal her eyes we pray, every dryness, watering, stinging and tiredness, and restore clear and comfortable sight. Touch her skin Lord, every mark, scar, dent, pigmentation, spot, sensitivity and allergy that has caused her distress, and bring restoration and health to her skin and scalp. Above all, Lord, heal her heart and let her know how deeply she is loved and valued by You, not for outward appearance but as Your beloved daughter created in Your image. If it be Your will, perform Your healing work in her body now, and if Your perfect plan includes a process or ongoing grace through trial, give her endurance, hope and unwavering faith to trust You. Help her to rest in Your sovereignty and to seek You first above all else. We ask all of this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, amen.
