We lift up your father before the Lord with deep compassion, knowing how painful it is to see a loved one suffer. The wounds of the body and the weariness of long illness can feel overwhelming, but we serve a God who is the Great Physician, the One who heals all our diseases and binds up our wounds. The Scriptures remind us in Psalm 147:3, *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds,"* and in Jeremiah 30:17, *"For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh."* Your father’s suffering is not unseen by the Lord, and we stand in agreement that God’s healing power will flow over him, drying that wound, restoring his skin, and bringing relief from the pain that steals his rest.
It is heartbreaking to feel helpless when earthly remedies fail, but we must remember that our hope is not in medicine alone—it is in the Lord, who holds all things together. In Mark 5:25-34, we read of the woman who suffered from bleeding for twelve years, spending all she had on doctors, yet only growing worse. But when she touched the hem of Jesus’ garment in faith, she was instantly healed. Like her, we cry out to Jesus on your father’s behalf, trusting that His power is not limited by what man can or cannot do. Let us not grow weary in prayer, for the Lord hears the cries of His children. James 5:16 tells us, *"The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective."*
We also encourage you to seek wisdom in caring for his wound—perhaps consulting with medical professionals for additional strategies to prevent infection and promote healing, while continuing to cover him in prayer. Sometimes, the Lord works through the hands of those He has gifted with medical knowledge, and we can trust Him to guide each step.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this precious father who is suffering. Lord, You know the depth of his pain, the sleepless nights, and the weariness of this long battle. We ask for Your healing touch to rest upon his tailbone wound—dry it up completely, Lord, and let no infection take hold. Restore his skin, ease his pain, and grant him the gift of restful sleep. You are the God who sees the unseen, who hears the unspoken groans of the heart. We ask that You strengthen his body, renew his spirit, and fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
Father, we also lift up this child who is watching their father suffer. Comfort their heart, Lord, and replace their sorrow with Your hope. Remind them that You are near to the brokenhearted and that You collect every tear in Your bottle. Give them wisdom in caring for him, and surround them with support—whether through family, friends, or medical professionals—to help bear this burden.
We rebuke the spirit of infirmity and declare that no weapon formed against your father’s body shall prosper. By the stripes of Jesus, he is healed. We stand on Your promise in Isaiah 53:5, *"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."* Let this be his testimony, Lord.
We thank You in advance for the miracle You are working, trusting that You will bring beauty from these ashes. May Your name be glorified through his healing, and may this season draw your family closer to You. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Healer and Redeemer, we pray. Amen.
. So sad to see this. So much trouble my father has. He's sickness not getting healed. No medicine works it's like no medicine has made for my father's sickness like. Helpless, feels like crying. Not able to do anything. Only God has answer for his evry problem for his evry sickness. Let his tail bone wound to dry up. Thank you
