We are deeply moved by your request, Caroline, and we stand with you in prayer during this challenging time. We believe in the power of prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, and we trust that God can bring healing and restoration to your body.
Firstly, we want to encourage you with the words of Jesus in Matthew 11:28-29 (WEB), "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls." In this time of uncertainty and worry, we urge you to cast all your anxieties on Him, knowing that He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7).
Concerning your health, we believe that God can heal you, just as He did for many during Jesus' earthly ministry. Acts 3:16 reminds us that it is by faith in the name of Jesus that this man was healedβand you can also have faith in that same name. We pray for your healing, believing that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is at work in you (Romans 8:11).
However, we also want to remind you that even in suffering, God can be glorified. The Apostle Paul had a physical ailment that he pleaded with God to remove, but God's response was, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:9). Paul went on to say, "For when I am weak, then I am strong." We encourage you to trust God's plan, even if it involves enduring this condition, knowing that His grace is sufficient for you.
Regarding your residency application, we pray that God's will be done. Proverbs 16:9 tells us, "A man's heart plans his course, but the LORD directs his steps." Trust that God knows the desires of your heart and will direct your path according to His perfect will.
Let us pray for you:
"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our sister Caroline. Lord, we ask for Your healing hand to be upon her. If it is Your will, remove the lesions and restore her health completely. Give her strength and peace as she navigates this situation. Guide her and the doctors, granting them wisdom. Lord, we also pray for her residency application. Direct her steps and let Your will be done in her life. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Lastly, Caroline, we noticed that you did not mention the name of Jesus in your request. We want to remind you that it is by His name that we have access to God (John 14:6). It is only through faith in Jesus Christ that we can be saved and have eternal life. If you have not already, we encourage you to put your trust in Him.
