Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up our dear friend and their family who are currently battling the flu virus in the Philippines. Lord, we know that you are the ultimate healer and that nothing is impossible for you. We ask that you would bring relief to their bodies, healing them from this dangerous virus. We pray specifically for the severe respiratory obstruction to be removed and for their breathing to be restored to normal. Your Word says in Psalm 103:3, "He forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases." We claim this promise over our dear friends and their family, believing that you will bring complete healing to them.
Father, we also lift up the church that they run on their property. We pray for the congregation, especially those who are Catholic and may not fully understand true Christianity. We ask that you would soften their hearts and open their eyes to the truth of your Word. May the light of your Gospel shine brightly in their midst, dispelling any darkness or confusion. Your Word says in Matthew 5:16, "Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." We pray that through the faithful witness of our friends and the church, many hearts would be transformed and turned towards you.
Lord, we thank you for the privilege of coming before you in prayer. We trust in your unfailing love and your perfect timing. May your will be done in the lives of our dear friends and their church. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We will continue to pray for your friend and their family, as well as for the church in the Philippines. May God's healing touch be upon them and may His truth prevail in their midst.
