Almighty God, we humble ourselves before You and declare You alone are good. You alone are pure and holy, merciful and mighty. Your love is so far beyond what we can muster up on our very best day with very highest intentions. Your love expressed in Christ Jesus is more generous than any love, ever! You are truly the One and Only, King of all kings, Lord of all lords; we worship and adore You. You are timeless, unrestricted by the past, present or future. All things are in Your control. There is nothing that surprises You. Nothing that overwhelms You. Nothing that defeats You. We bless Your Name and declare You as the one true God. There is no other. (Deuteronomy 4:29)You know we are frail beings, just dust. (Psalm 103:14) Your Word says Your love for us is immeasurable and, yet, we are invited to pray that we might grasp how wide, long, high and deep that love really is. (Ephesians 3:17) Thank You, Father, that You strengthen our inner man with power through Your Spirit. You always hear our prayers and they really do make a difference! Thank You that because of Jesus, we have full access to approach You.You invite us, Lord, to pray for those who are sick, to anoint them with oil and to ask in faith for healing according to James 5:14. Like Elijah we are mere men and women, but the prayers of the righteous offered in faith avail much. (James 5:14-18). I do pray for healing to come for __________________. Speak life and health into his/her body.I also pray for ______________ to have a warrior’s heart. Strengthen his/her faith and infuse the will to fight for faith, fight for life, fight against the enemy’s snares. We know that satan has no mercy; he kicks us when we’re down. Please sharpen _________________’s ability to discern the subtle lies. Lies that You have forsaken him/her and lies that there is no way to fight for their health. Cause Your Word to come forth and may _______________ speak it out in faith against the lies. Please instill a strong desire to press on in faith and not give up. I thank You, Jesus, that trusting You as the Prince of Peace does not mean we have no fight in us. Instead, ____________ can have Your peace as he/she fights for life. Our peace is in knowing You are with us and Your love is irrevocable. In fact, You are our peace. (Ephesians 2:14)Father, make ________________ brave! May he/she resolve to trust in You and to fight the battles of the mind with declaration of that trust. Some of the biggest enemies man has are despair, fear, self-pity and faithlessness. I pray Your ministering angels tend to ______________ to strengthen his/her resolve to keep on believing You and worshipping You. You really are worthy of all praise and honor. Praise is a war-cry to the enemy, so he must leave us alone at the sound of our praise. It is a war tactic against him. I pray You will put a song of praise in _____________’s heart. Play it through the night and deeply imbed it in his/her sub-consciousness.Finally, we can know that You credit our faith as righteousness. (Romans 4) It is never wasted; in fact, You delight in our faith! You are not a God who tricks us or says we didn’t have enough faith for You to heal; that would be contrary to Your character. You are fully able to do anything; You created all that is. You are God over all in all and through all. Give us vision to see the whole picture like You do, Father. Infuse us with hope enveloped in the faith and knowledge of eternal life because of Jesus.Thank You, God, for the Savior! Make us brave here, too, if the answer is no for our healing and our time here comes to a close. Since we will all one day leave these tents and step into the reality of heaven, give us strength and vision for that journey, too. You are faithful and will do it. Thank You, Lord! Praise God our true citizenship is in Heaven where what is mortal will be swallowed up by LIFE! (2 Corinthians 5 and Philippians 3:20,21) We long for Your return, Jesus …To God be all the glory, all the honor and praise!In Jesus’ Name, Amen
