A PRAYER FOR DELIVERANCE FROM CHRONIC ILLNESS

                  O loving Lord, I thank You for this time of prayer. You know that I committed my life to You and lived witnessing for You. I also ministered to the glory of Your name as far as I could. I ministered using the gifts of grace given by You. O Lord, You have met and saved several persons in the ministry. But today, I am weak and I am not able to do anything. I remain shut up at home. I do not know how long I should suffer like this. I want to do the ministry being delivered from this bondage of sickness before I meet my death. O Lord, even at this time of peril, there are many who reproach me and speak ill of me. I am not able to take part in anything and remain shut up at home. Your word says, “The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble” (Psalm 9:9). You are my refuge. Even though there are others at home, I feel lonely as if orphaned. When will this captivity come to an end? I have hope only in You. I trust You. There is no one to understand me. Sometimes I am overcome with depression. O Lord, be merciful to me. Deliver me from this condition. Forgive me the sins which were the cause for this malady and deliver me from the curse. Have mercy on me. You know that I daily meditate on Your Word. Graciously establish me as I was before. Amos 9:11 says: “In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old.” Let this word be fulfilled in my life. Bless me in Your mercy. In the name of Jesus Christ, I make this prayer, O good Father. Amen.
