Heavenly Father, I praise You for allowing us to pray for others when they are sick and in need. I praise You for knowing You are God and nothing is impossible for You. I praise You for today and for giving me a safe drive into work. Help me today to take command of my day and shake the evil from it.
Holy Spirit, Your word says: Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. [James 5:13-15; Hebrews 4:16] Now I and those who choose to pray with me are boldly coming into the throne room through You, the Holy Spirit to lay petitions at the foot of the throne to request healing for Tiffany who is to have surgery on both sides of
her jaw to remove infection, and then to have them go up into her nasal cavity to remove to sacks of puss and infection so that they can then determine the best antibiotics to use to heal her. I pray You heal her fully, whether through these surgeries or by Your hand on its own. I also ask that You touch my Uncle Carl, who has Lupus in his Kidneys and now has some weakness in his heart and issues with his breathing. Please heal him and help him with the pain. Finally, I ask that you touch my cousin Matthew’s father-in-law, as they have found some spots of cancer in his brain, chest, and lungs. He especially needs a healing touch and direction on what to do. I also ask that you continue to touch Robin and her daughter, who have some serious physical issues, and that we have prayed for in the past.
Because I have faith and I also trust in Your will, I quote Jesus here and claim what He says: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to my Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. [John 14:12-14] I seek to have You touch the people in a mighty and wonderous way so that all will know that my God still rules and reigns in this world. Amen.
