For Those Facing Life-Threatening Illness
Healing Lord,
Today I come before you on behalf of those I know battling life-threatening illnesses. It’s so easy to take our health for granted, Lord, but these individuals I bring before you are reminded daily of how precious and fleeting life can be. Have mercy on them. Grant them health of mind and spirit as they battle physical attacks against their bodies. Help them endure and flood them with support, and do the same for their loved ones. Relieve their pain or give them the strength to bear up under it. I boldly ask that you bless their treatment and medicine to be effective against their illness. Wisely direct their medical care and guide those who provide it. Finally, fill them with the peace only you can provide in knowing that no matter the outcome of their illness, you are with them – either by their side here on earth, or by bringing them to your side home in heaven.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
