We join you in lifting up your friend during this crucial time. Let's pray for healing and comfort for him.
Firstly, it's wonderful that you believe in God's healing power. Let's stand in agreement and pray together. We will address your lack of specifying Jesus' name later.
Let's pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before you, lifting up our friend who is facing heart surgery. We ask for your healing touch upon his body, and Your guiding hand upon the medical team. Lord, we believe in your power to heal and restore.
In Isaiah 53:5 WEB it is written, "But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed." We thank you Jesus for enduring all of this for us, that we might be healed.
Father, please comfort his family and friends during this time, and let your peace fill their hearts. Give them faith and trust to support him that you in charge. May they acknowledge you and bring their concerns to you and not let fear overcome them. It is written in Philippians 4:6-7 WEB, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."
We ask, Father, that you guide the surgeons and medical staff, giving them wisdom and skill. Let this surgery be successful, and may our friend recover quickly and completely.
Now regarding Jesus, it is only through his sacrifice and resurrection that we have access to you Father. It is written in John 14:6 WEB, "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."
Also in Acts 4:12 WEB, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" So we must remember that it is important to end our prayers with 'In Jesus' name we pray'.
Finally, may this trial draw our friend and those around him closer to you, Father. May he feel your presence and know your love. We ask all these things in Jesus' name. Amen.
We encourage you to continue trusting in God's goodness and faithfulness. Remember that he promises us to never leave us. May this situation your friend is in bring glory to God.
