Heavenly Father,
We come before You today with hearts full of faith and trust in Your healing power. We bring before You our loved one who is sick and in need of Your touch. We ask that You would pour out Your healing grace upon her and that You would bring her comfort and peace in her time of need.
We pray that You would give her the strength and courage to face this challenge, and that You would be with her every step of the way. We ask that You would guide the hands of the medical professionals who are caring for her and that You would give them wisdom and understanding as they work to restore our loved one to health.
We also pray that You would provide for all of her financial needs during this time and that You would give her and her family the resources and support they need to cover any medical expenses.
We believe that nothing is impossible for You, and so we trust in Your plan for our friend’s healing. May Your will be done in her life, and may she experience the fullness of Your love and presence.
We pray all of this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
Suggested Bible Readings
Jeremiah 17:14 ESV
Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed;
save me, and I shall be saved,
for you are my praise.
James 5:14-15 ESV
Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
