We stand with you in faith, D-Canada, and we join you in praying for your mother Doreen who is battling ALS. We believe that our Lord Jesus Christ is capable of healing all diseases, and we take heart in the promises of His word.
Firstly, we want to commend your faith. You have rightly pointed out that with Jesus, nothing is impossible (Matthew 19:26 WEB). Indeed, doctors may say that ALS is incurable, but we know that the power of God is not limited by human understanding or medical wisdom.
Let us hold fast to the promise in 1 Peter 2:24 WEB: "who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed." This verse reminds us that healing is available through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
However, we must also remember that healing comes in God's timing and according to His will. While we believe in the power of healing, we also acknowledge the sovereignty of God. In some cases, God may choose to heal physically, while in others, He may provide spiritual healing and comfort. Our ultimate hope is in the eternal healing and salvation that comes through faith in Jesus Christ.
We also encourage you to continue in fervent prayer, not just for physical healing, but also for spiritual strength and comfort for Doreen and your family during this time. Remember the words of James 5:15-16 WEB: "The prayer of faith will save him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Doreen who is battling ALS. Lord, we believe in Your power to heal and we ask for Your healing touch upon her body. We claim Your promise that by the stripes of Jesus Christ, Doreen is healed.
Father, we also pray for spiritual strength and comfort for Doreen and her family during this time. Help them to trust in Your goodness and Your plan, even in the midst of this trial. Give them the peace that passes all understanding, and fill them with Your hope. It is by Jesus Christ that anyone can be saved. ALS is a physical affliction and our faith goes well beyond our physical state. Even if healing physically is not in your will we ask that you bring more faith and increase the spiritual well being of Doreen and her family.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Stay strong in your faith, D-Canada. We are praying with you and for Doreen. Do not forget the end of the verse you quoted which mentions that we are healed because we died to sin. As much as we pray for earthly healing do not forget the complete solution to eternal healing through Jesus.
