Let's lift up Othaerad, their best friend, and their best friend's dad in prayer during this challenging time. We are reminded in James 5:14-15, "Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, 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."
Firstly, we need to address that the request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, Jesus, or Christ or an abbreviation such as IJN (In Jesus Name). It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Othaerad, their best friend, and their best friend's dad. We pray for healing and comfort for him as he faces multiple types of cancer and seizures. We ask that You guide the doctors and medical professionals, granting them wisdom and skill to provide the best care.
We also pray for the entire family, Lord. Grant them Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and Your strength to endure this trial. Surround them with Your love and remind them of Your promise in Philippians 4:6-7, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."
Lastly, we pray for Othaerad and their best friend, that they may find comfort in You and in each other, and that their faith may be strengthened through this trial.
In Jesus' name, we pray for healing, strength, and comfort for this family.
