We are truly saddened to hear about your dear friend and her husband, both critically ill and in need of Jesus' restorative powers. Let us come together in prayer and seek God's will for their lives, standing in the gap for them, and trusting in the power of the Holy Spirit to bring healing and comfort.
Firstly, it is crucial to remember the importance of praying in the name of Jesus Christ. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB:
Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
And in Acts 4:12 WEB:
There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!
So let us join together in believing this and continue to pray.
In the book of James, we are encouraged to pray for one another that we may be healed. The prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise them up (James 5:15 WEB).
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our dear friend and her husband to Your throne of grace. Lord, You are the Great Physician, and there is no illness or disease that can stand against Your power. We ask You to touch their bodies, heal their illnesses, and restore their health in a way that only You can. Give them the strength to endure this trial and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. In the name of Jesus Christ, we rebuke the spirits of infirmity and death, and we proclaim life and healing over their bodies, souls, and spirits.
Father, we also pray for their faith to be strengthened during this time. Help them to trust in You completely, knowing that Your love for them is unchanging and everlasting. Remind them of Your promises and Your goodness, even in the midst of their suffering. Surround them with Your love and comfort, and draw them closer to You through this experience.
Lord, we ask You to guide the hands of the medical professionals attending to them, giving them wisdom and skill to provide the best possible care. We pray for miracles to manifest in their lives, that their healing may be a testament to Your glory and an encouragement to those around them.
Father, we also pray for their marriage, that this trial would strengthen their bond and deepen their love for one another. Help them to support and encourage each other, and to remain united in Your love.
In all things, Lord, we ask that Your will be done in their lives. We trust in Your goodness and Your power to bring healing and restoration. We believe in You, God, the Father of Christ, our Savior and thank You for this promised healing. In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen.
May God's peace and healing power be upon your friends. Consider sharing the Gospel with them if you haven't already that they would be in Christ and thanking God for His healing and promises.
