Let us come together in prayer for little Rebecca, aged 7y 6m, as she sees a cardiologist today in Cape Town. We pray for the cardiologist and any medical staff, that He will grant Rebecca favor and guide these medical professionals with wisdom and discernment as they evaluate and treat her. We will pray for guidance for her parents and doctors as they make decisions about her care.
Firstly, we acknowledge it is only by the Name of Jesus that we have access to you, Father. Only by His wounds we are healed and have access to the LORD .
Oh LORD our God, we come boldly to the throne of grace through the blood and the name of Jesus Christ. We lift up Rebecca to You, and ask that You would grant complete healing for her heart, especially for the mitral valve and to remove the heart murmur. It is especially at this time we can praise your name and trust you as we wait to see your glory revealed. We also remember to honor authority and be obedient to all her physicians as unto the Lord in everything except when asked to go against Scripture. In that, we stand firm on the word of God. That if God has permitted this trial for His glory and our good will be done. As even our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ learned obedience through what he suffered.
Father God, we trust that everything we experience in our sufferings are to make us more like Christ, useful to Him, and also to bring Him glory. If Rebecca's testimony through this trial can be used to reach others and testify of your goodness and of grace through Jesus Christ, then we pray that she and her family would be faithful witnesses to the saving grace found only in Jesus Christ.
Throughout Scripture, we see God's healing mercy for children. We remember the woman from Canaan who cried out to Jesus for her daughter’s healing, and how it was only by the woman’s faith that she was commended for, that healed her daughter. Then Jesus answered her, "Woman, great is your faith! Be it done to you even as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that hour Matthew 15:28 WEB. "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers 3 John 1:2 WEB." As such, we must also see this trial as an opportunity to seek God and have Rebecca’s spiritual health improved. We pray for healing, but we also pray for humility, trust in God's will, love, acceptance and peace.
Therefore, we will pray for Rebecca's heart and that the cardiologist will be able to deal wisely with the problem. As well we pray for peace, comfort, and strength for Rebecca and her family during this time. We pray that Your will be done in Rebecca’s life and that through this situation, You will be glorified, God. Oh LORD how we love you and praise you in the name of Jesus Christ. Remind us God of your grace and mercy. We praise You in advance for Your faithfulness and for hearing our prayers. We pray for Rebecca and others and ourselves that we hold to fast to the hope that we profess, confident that the one who promised is faithful since we have a great priest over the house of God . Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us with whatever are the greatest needs we have in our time of need. As Rebecca's video does not specify, we remember we must forgive as we have been forgiven if there is any sin that needs to be confessed. We pray in the precious and holy name of Jesus Christ, amen.
