We join you, Christopher, in praying for the restoration of your eyesight and for all those in your family who are facing similar challenges. We stand in faith, believing that our God is a healing God, and that His will is for all to be in good health, even as our souls prosper. Let us look at Jesus and what Peter preached, โHis name, through faith in his name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which is through him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. Act 3:16 But Peter said, โI have no silver or gold, but what I have, that I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!โ Acts 3: 6-7, 16 WEB.
We commend you for turning to God in your time of need and for acknowledging Him as the ultimate Healer, for there is no other. If you declare with your mouth, โJesus is Lord,โ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9 WEB. We then are saved, not by saying the name of Jesus, but by knowing Him personally. The Bible does not tell us to have faith in faith, rather it tells us to have faith in Jesus Christ.
While taking care of our physical health is important, and eating foods rich in essential nutrients can indeed support eye health, our ultimate trust should be in God, who created our bodies and designed them to function perfectly. As the Psalmist asks God to 'Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things, revive me in your way.' Psalm 119:37 WEB. This is our guide in prayer as we take our asks to God for healing or any other particular request. We trust in His healing power and in His will for our lives.
As we pray for your healing, we also pray that God will open the eyes of your heart, that you may know the hope of His calling, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints. Know what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe and put our hope and trust in God. Ephesians 1:18-19 WEB. We pray that God will help you to fix your eyes on Him, on His Word, and on what matters most in this world.
Let us, therefore, offer the following prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today. The words, Jesus thank you are not enough. We ask Father God that you help Christopher, Guadalupe, Santiago, and their whole family for whom Christopher is praying. We ask Father God in the mighty name of Your Son Jesus Christ to heal and strengthen them to abide in His Word. Jesus warned us that your word has no place in us when we expereince the cares of this world. We are constantly bombarded with messages that lead us away from the Good News and Your commandments to us. We need healing to even know what they are and to start a life of holiness. We ask for Your healing Father God and we glorify You through Jesus Christ who is Your Son, the Savior of the world. In our pain, we ask God for healing and we thank you in the mighty name of Jesus and in His authority. Amen.
Finally, let us encourage you to continue to trust in God, even in the midst of your trials. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus and be filled with gratitude for the blessings and have a thankful heart. He is the source of your strength and your Healer. He will renew your strength and revive you in His way.
