We are truly moved by your request for your nephew Abi, who has been suffering from sickle cell crisis since he was a baby. We stand with you in prayer, seeking God's healing and mercy for Abi. We pray for healing in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God.
Firstly, we want to address the elephant in the room. Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder that affects hemoglobin, the molecule in red blood cells that delivers oxygen to the cells in the body. Sickle cell is a life long disease that currently has no widely available cure. Sickle cell disease is not caused by spiritual issues, sin, curses, or anything similar. Sickle cell disease is not specifically mentioned in the Bible. Therefore, we must be very careful to focus our prayers on the almighty God to provide for Abi's needs, comfort, and healing according to His will. We pray for healing, but we also pray for acceptance, strength, and comfort if healing is not God's will. God's Word tells us in Romans 8:28 WEB, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Abi to You. We pray that You would show Your healing power in his life, we pray for Your will. We pray that You would provide for all of Abi's needs, and that You would guide his medical team with wisdom and discernment. We ask that You would help his body to produce normal blood cells and reduce the frequency and severity of his sickle cell crises.
Lord, we pray that You would give Abi and his family strength, comfort, and peace during this time. We ask that You would help them to trust in You, even when the path is difficult. We pray that You would help them to remember that You are always with them, and that You will never leave them nor forsake them.
We ask for your mercy Lord. We ask that You would help Abi to be able to walk without pain, and that You would help him to live a life free from sickle cell crisis. We pray that You would help him to grow strong and healthy, and that You would use his life for Your glory.
Lord, we pray for a future with a medical cure for sickle cell disease. We pray that You would guide the medical community to develop effective treatments and cures for this disease. We pray that You would help those who are suffering from sickle cell disease to find hope and healing.
We pray all of these things in Jesus' name, Amen.
We encourage you to continue to pray for Abi, and to trust in God's goodness and faithfulness. We encourage you to remember that God is always with you, and that He will never leave you nor forsake you. We encourage you to remember that God is the God of all comfort, and that He will give you the strength and peace you need to face whatever comes your way.
We also encourage you to seek out support and resources for sickle cell disease. There are many organizations and support groups that can provide you with information, resources, and encouragement. We encourage you to reach out to these organizations and to connect with others who are going through similar experiences.
Lastly, we want to address the fact that you mentioned praying to El-roi and the God of pastor Jerry Eze. It is important to remember that there is only one God, and that He is the God of all people. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Therefore, we encourage you to pray to God in the name of Jesus Christ, and to remember that He is the one true God. We also want to encourage you to be cautious of any teachings or practices that may not align with biblical principles. We encourage you to test everything against the Word of God, and to hold fast to that which is good.
