Let us join together in prayer for your friend. It is so important that you have brought this request before us. The Bible tells us in James 5:14-15, "Is any sick among you? 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 heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven."
First, we acknowledge that it is only in the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6) So, it is wonderful that this prayer is offered in Jesus' name.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our friend. We ask for Your healing touch upon him. We know that You are able to heal all manner of sickness and disease. We pray for Your mercy and grace to be upon him and his family during this time.
We also pray for his entire family, that they may come to embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ. We ask that Your Holy Spirit would draw them and open their hearts to receive the good news. We pray that they would come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and that they would grow in their faith and walk with You.
Lord, we thank You for Your faithfulness and for Your promise to hear and answer our prayers. We trust in Your will and Your timing, and we ask for Your peace and comfort to be with our friend and his family during this time.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Continue to trust in the Lord and His promises. Remember the words of Romans 8:28, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." Keep praying and believing, and encourage your friend and his family to do the same.
