Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Ricardo who is battling a virus. Lord, Your Word tells us in 1 Peter 5:7 to cast all our anxieties on You because You care for us. We place Ricardo's health concerns into Your mighty hands, trusting in Your power to heal and restore.
Father, You are Jehovah-Rapha, the Lord who heals. We ask that You would touch Ricardo's body and bring swift healing. Your Word in Jeremiah 30:17 promises, "For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal, declares the Lord." We stand on this promise and pray for complete recovery from this illness.
Lord, grant Ricardo strength and patience during this time of illness. As it is written in Isaiah 40:31, "But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint." May this verse be a source of encouragement and hope.
We also pray for wisdom and guidance for Ricardo to take care of the body You have given. Help in finding rest and nourishment, even when the appetite is lacking. Provide comfort and peace, knowing that You are in control and working all things for good.
We thank You, Lord, for Your unfailing love and mercy. We trust in Your perfect timing and Your perfect will. In Jesus' name, we pray.
Amen.
