Heavenly Father,

We come to you today on behalf of our dear friend Keith who is very sick. You are the Great Physician, the One who made our bodies and knows every cell, every struggle, and every need. Nothing is too hard for you.

Lord Jesus, we ask for your healing touch upon our friend. Bring restoration where there is illness, strength where there is weakness, and peace where there is fear or pain. Comfort Keith and his family in their body and spirit, and surround them with your presence so they do not feel alone.

Give wisdom and skill to the doctors and caregivers, and guide every decision made for their care. Fill our friend’s heart with hope and the assurance of your love. Strengthen their faith, and help them to rest in you. We trust You, Lord—whether you heal immediately, gradually, or according to a plan we do not yet understand. Your will is good, and your mercy is great.

Thank You for hearing this prayer. In the powerful name of Jesus we pray,

Amen.
