We join you, Qtariorland, in lifting up your father-in-law Jim Hentzel to the Lord, trusting in His goodness and sovereignty. We stand with you in prayers for healing and believe that God can make a way even when it seems impossible.
Firstly, we acknowledge that healing ultimately comes from God. I like the way that Our Lord Jesus Christ taught His deciples. In Mark 16:17-18 we are told the signs of a true believer. "These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new languages; they will take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will in no way hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.". We need to have faith to ask, but also we need to be in Jesus.
Knowing that, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' mighty name, lifting up Jim Hentzel to You. Lord, You know the struggles he is facing with his health, and we ask for Your healing touch upon him. We pray that the diagnosis be wrong and that he is cancer-free and his heart beats healthier than ever. We ask for more years of life for him so that he can enjoy his wife, daughter and grandchildren. Father, we know that You are able to do abundantly more than we ask or think, and we trust in Your goodness and power. We declare health and healing over Jim in Jesus' name. We also pray for comfort and strength for the family during this time. Father, draw them close to You and help them to trust in Your plan. Guide the doctors and medical team attending to Jim, give them wisdom and insight to provide the best care possible. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
We encourage you to remain steadfast in prayer and faith. Continue to trust in God's plan and remember that He works all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. May you be encouraged by these words from Romans 15:13.
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Lastly, we appreciate that you ended your prayer request "In Jesus mighty name Amen!!". It is only by His name that we can be saved (Acts 4:12) and it is only by His name that we have access to God (John 14:6). Without Jesus, we have no right to request anything from God.
May God's peace and comfort be with you and your family during this time.
