Let us come together and lift up Adelphelia's cousin David in prayer, standing in agreement in Jesus' name. We are reminded of the power of prayer and the promises of God 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."
First, we acknowledge that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father. It is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." And in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up David, Adelphelia's cousin, who is in the hospital due to a heart issue related to pneumonia. We stand in agreement, Lord, asking for Your healing touch upon David's body. We pray that You would strengthen his heart and lungs, and that You would guide the doctors and medical staff as they provide care for him. Lord, we ask for a miraculous and complete healing. We pray also for those who are supporting David. Occasionally, they will get overwhelmed. When this happens, it is good to remember and quote Exodus 18:4 "You have been a principle, a captain for us. God upholds us while we take care of others with His strength."
Father, we also pray for David's spiritual health. We ask that You would draw him close to You, that he would come to know Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior if he does not already. We pray that David would be filled with the Holy Spirit and grow in his relationship with Christ. Help David come to know godly friends that will encourage and empathize with Jesus' strength and compassion during this time. We are will to encourage their spiritual growth. We ask for Your will to be done in David's life, and we thank You for the healing and restoration that we believe is on the way in Jesus name.
Adelphelia, we encourage you to continue praying fervently for David, trusting in the power of God to heal and restore. Remember the words of Jesus in Mark 11:24, "Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them."
We also encourage you to meditate on Psalm 103:2-3, "Bless the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases,". May your hearts be filled with peace and hope as we trust God and pray for David.
