prayer for healing

Healing can often be a hard thing to pray for. We find it easier to accept that God can heal in an emotional or spiritual sense, yet find it hard to believe that he can change the physical world. Praying for healing requires that we engage with the creator, who is always renewing and transforming the natural world around us.

God works through the natural - through medicine, skilled doctors and determined researchers. God also works in the supernatural - through the many stories of physical healings recorded in the scriptures, and the countless testimonies of people who claim to have been healed by the risen Christ today. Through all this we learn that the emotional, the spiritual and the physical are not separate but are connected. Prayer addresses all of these things. It holds us emotionally, it creates peaceful spirit filled moments and engages with the physical matter of God's creation. Prayer is like a fragrant oil bringing grace, love, truth, hope and healing. Prayer is faith in action, always causing change and connecting with eternity. This page brings together several inspiring prayers that you can pray for those who are ill, with a beautiful prayer for healing, a short prayer for those who are sick, and a petition for a speedy recovery from illness.

Prayer for healing the sick

Lord God,

We dwell in your house,
Drink in your presence
And find peace and rest in your arms.

We believe in your name,
Ask for your healing
And believe and trust in your love.

We thank you for your sacrifice,
Receive all you have for us
And pray and ask for restoration.

We need your touch.
We wait on you.
You are our Saviour, our friend, and our hope.

Amen.

Prayer for healing

(the prayer poem in the film above)

Lord of Heaven,
I rest underneath you mighty wings of love.
I dwell within your gentle heart.
I know there is healing in your touch.
Through the sufferings of Christ I can ask for restoration
And trust in your goodness.
You are my Lord, my Saviour,
My healer and my friend.
I dwell within your gentle embrace.

Amen.

Prayer for healing a loved one

Dear Jesus,

You walked on the earth, understood the broken world, yet also rose from death into resurrected life. I pray for my loved one that they would be held at this time in your loving arms. Bless the work of the doctors, surgeons and hospital staff, and bring the power of your resurrection life into their body. Come fill my loved one from top to toe with your restorative Spirit. May your resurrection life bring healing and wellness into their being. May your grace carry them through this hard time into a new season filled with hope and joy.

Amen.
