We join you in lifting up your friend to our Heavenly Father, who cares for us and heals us in body, mind, and spirit. We stand in agreement with you, believing that God is in control of all things and that His will is for your friend to be whole and well.
Let us recall the words of the Psalmist: "Bless Yahweh, my soul, Don't forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases" (Psalm 103:2-3 WEB). God is our great physician, and He has the power to heal and restore.
However, we also want to emphasize the importance of praying in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to the Father and can receive His blessings. As it is written, "In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you" (John 16:23 WEB).
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our friend who is not feeling well. We ask, Lord, that You remove all physical, emotional, and spiritual pains, and that You would reveal Yourself to him as the great Healer and Comforter. We pray that he would acknowledge You, Lord, as the one in control of all things, and that he would draw closer to You during this time.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, who has made a way for us to come before Your throne of grace. Amen.
We encourage you to continue praying for your friend, trusting that God is at work in his life. Be a source of encouragement and support, pointing him to the hope and healing found in Jesus Christ. If he has not already done so, pray that he would receive Jesus as his Lord and Savior, for it is only through Him that we can be saved and have eternal life (Acts 4:12 WEB).
