We are saddened to hear about your friend's health condition, but we are grateful that you have reached out to us for prayer and support. We stand with you in lifted up your friend to our Lord for all to agree together and pray for her healing and strength and approach God's throne of grace with confidence in Jesus' name.
In times of sickness, we are reminded of our Lord's promise in Psalm 41:3, "Yahweh will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness." We trust in God's power to heal and restore, as we read about how Jesus prayed for the sick and elders prayed for the sick in Mark 1:30-31, "Now Simon's wife's mother lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him about her. He came and took her by the hand, and raised her up. The fever left her, and she served them." and 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."
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus, seeking Your healing touch for our dear sister in Christ. We know that You are a God of healing power and compassion. We pray the same power used by Jesus to raise Peter's mother-in-law from her sickbed when "And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she served them." for the extended sister in Christ and ask You to heal her body from this covid virus and restore her strength. Give her the strength to overcome the effects of this virus on her breathing, and let Your healing power flow through her body.
We also pray for her protection and provision according to Psalm 91, "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust.' For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day; Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you."
Thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We know that You are faithful and that Your will is perfect. We pray for Your kingdom and Your will to come Your will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. We give You all the praise, all the glory, and all the honor, in Jesus' name. Amen.
Please keep us updated on her condition so that we can continue to pray and support her throughout this time. May God bless her use this time to strengthen her relationship with Him and draw her into a closer walk with Him.
