Let us come together in prayer for Russell, trusting in the healing power of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Firstly, we acknowledge that it is by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. The Bible tells us I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
In addressing Russell's health we know that in John chapter 9, Jesus and his disciples encountered a man who had been blind from birth. The disciples asked Jesus, Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him.
Let us pray together.
Almighty God, we come before You today, lifting up our friend Russell. Lord, You are the Great Physician, the Healer of all diseases. We ask You to touch Russell's eyes, to heal him of his blindness, and to restore his sight. We know that this will not be an issue with you. In You, there is no sickness, no disease, and no blindness. You are the Lord who heals us.
We pray for Your healing touch upon Russell's body. Lord, help us to be in faith that you will heal him. We know that by the stripes of Jesus we are healed. Give Russell and all of us the strength and faith to endure this trial, trusting in Your goodness and Your power to heal.
Father, we also pray for Russell's spiritual eyes to be opened if they are not already. Help him to see the light of the gospel and the glory of Jesus Christ. We pray that through this healing, Russell will come to know You more deeply, and that Your works might be revealed in him.
We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, for it is in His name that we pray. Amen.
Let us encourage Russell with these words from the Psalms: Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh. Psalm 27:14 WEB.
May the Lord bless Russell and keep him in perfect peace as he trusts in Him.
