Thank you, Tortgernon, for reaching out and sharing about John's situation. We are here to pray and offer support in Jesus' name.
Firstly, you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer. It is only by His name that we have access to God. In the WEB, And in no other is there salvation, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved! , Acts 4:12 and For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus 1 Timothy 2:5. So we offer prayer to God through the mediator, the Lord Jesus Christ.
John's condition is truly heartbreaking, and we want to lift him up in prayer, asking God for healing and comfort. It's important to remember that God cares about our suffering and that He's informed us He wants us to cast all our anxieties on him, because he cares for us, 1 Peter 5:7
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today in the name of Jesus, your Son.
We lift up John, asking for grace, peace, love. Please bring comfort to his heart and relief to his suffering. These trials can be hard to endure. Lord, if it be your will, please heal him. Lord, you told us that those who are in health do not need a physician, but those who are sick do. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance, Luke 5:31-32.
We pray for those who discriminate and ridicule him that they would be convicted of their actions, be humbled, ask for forgiveness, and ultimately be saved. For we know This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth, 1 Timothy 2:3-4.
We also pray for John's protection, that you will guard his heart and mind against depression and against any plans or despair, and Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!, 1 Corinthians 15:57. .
We ask this all in Jesus' name, Amen.
We encourage John to hold onto God's promises and to remember his identity in Christ+6You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world, 1 John 4:4. .
Lastly, during these hardships it is good for us to be reminded of our own salvation and repent from our sins. Let us all, as his fellow believers reach out to encourage him and his family as needed, for Bear one another's burdens, and thus fulfill the law of Christ+2, Galatians 6:2..
