Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today with humble hearts, lifting up our brother C. V. Shivaramakrishna from Mysore. Lord, You are the Great Physician, and we trust in Your power to heal and restore. Your Word tells us in Psalm 103:2-3, "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases." We stand on this promise and ask for Your healing touch upon Shivaramakrishna's body.
Father, we pray specifically for the severe health problems he is facing, including the boils in his mouth and the wounds caused by biting his tongue. We ask that You would bring relief from pain and discomfort, and that You would guide him to the right medical care and treatments that will aid in his recovery. We know that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).
Lord, we also seek Your wisdom and guidance for Shivaramakrishna. Help him to trust in You fully and to lean not on his own understanding, but in all his ways acknowledge You, and You will direct his paths (Proverbs 3:5-6). Strengthen his faith and surround him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
We gently correct the request to pray to Mary or other saints, as Your Word instructs us to pray directly to You, our Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ. 1 Timothy 2:5 reminds us, "For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus." We thank You that we can come boldly to Your throne of grace to find mercy and help in our time of need (Hebrews 4:16).
Lord, we ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Name]
