Introduction
Recently, the Global Lyme Alliance (GLA) hosted its 2026 Celebrity Golf & Pickleball Tournament, raising over $315,000 for the fight against Lyme disease. As Christians, we are called to care for those suffering and to pray for those affected by this debilitating illness.
About the People Involved
The Global Lyme Alliance is a non-profit organization dedicated to conquering Lyme and other tick-borne diseases. The tournament brought together celebrities and supporters to raise awareness and funds for this important cause.

What Does Lyme Disease Mean?
Lyme disease is a bacterial infection caused by the bite of an infected tick. It can cause fever, headache, and a characteristic skin rash, and if left untreated, can lead to serious health complications, including arthritis, neurological problems, and heart issues.
Why We Must Pray
As Christians, we are called to pray for those suffering from Lyme disease and to support organizations like the Global Lyme Alliance. We can pray for healing, comfort, and strength for those affected, as well as for wisdom and guidance for researchers and healthcare professionals working to combat this disease.
Prayer Points
- Pray for those suffering from Lyme disease, that they may experience healing and comfort.
- Pray for researchers and healthcare professionals, that they may have wisdom and guidance in their work to combat Lyme disease.
- Pray for the Global Lyme Alliance, that they may continue to raise awareness and funds for this important cause.
Scripture Reflection
In Matthew 10:1, Jesus gives his disciples the authority to heal every kind of disease and sickness. As Christians, we can claim this promise and pray for healing and comfort for those affected by Lyme disease.
Prayer for Salvation in Christ
Dear Heavenly Father, we pray for those suffering from Lyme disease, that they may experience your healing and comfort. We also pray for those who do not know you, that they may come to know your love and salvation through Jesus Christ. Amen.
