The Sick Dad

I shall not die, but I shall live and recount the deeds of the Lord. Psalm 118:17

Lord, I pray in the name of Jesus that You will heal the physically Sick Dad. Whatever the sickness or illness is, I pray You will heal him in Jesus’ name. I pray that he will call for the elders of the church, and if any sin has been committed it will be forgiven in Jesus’ name after the elders have prayed. I pray the Sick Dad will stand on the scriptures such as “I shall live and not die to declare the works of the Lord” (Psalm 118:17). Lord, let the Sick Dad know You as the God that healeth thee. Lord, I pray that the Sick’s Dad knows that healing is a process, You will allow him to have more strength and endurance. This way, he will be able to spend time with his family and do activities as he is healing. Allow him to seek Your face as he looks to You, the Author and Finisher of his faith.

I pray that his healthcare professionals will take extra special care of him. I pray the father will heed to the instructions of the doctors. If eating healthier is required, I pray that he will not use as much salt, eat less sugar, and stay well

hydrated with water. Allow him to exercise to get healthier, and remain healthy. I pray that he will have adequate finances to maintain a healthy diet. If he is still taking meds (until his healing is completely manifested), I pray that the Sick Dad will not be stubborn and will keep his follow-up medical appointments. I pray that he will not be affected by side effects of his medication. I pray that if the father is still healing and not feeling well, he will not take his sickness or pain out on the children. Lord, I pray that the Sick Dad will be kind to his caregiver. Especially if they are taking care of them full-time. Don’t allow him to say cruel and evil things to them because he is upset with his current situation. Don’t allow him to reject his family and friends when they are trying to take care of him.

Lord, I pray that the whole family will be involved in taking care of the Sick Dad until he receives his healing. Allow the children to split up the responsibility of caring for the Dad, especially if the children are grown. I pray once the dad is completely and totally healed, he will testify about how You healed him of the sickness or illness. Lord, bind the hand of the enemy against any retaliation due to him testifying about his healing.
