Heavenly Father,
I come before You today with a heart full of faith and belief in Your power to heal. I humbly request that You lay Your healing hands upon my body and mind, and restore me to complete physical, emotional and spiritual health.
I am aware that nothing is impossible for You, and I trust in Your goodness and love. I implore You to reveal Your healing power in my life, and put an end to any present sickness or ailment.
I believe in Your Word as true, and that You have promised to heal all who come to You in faith. I confess that I have not always been faithful, but I repent of my sins and turn to You now, seeking Your forgiveness and healing.
But if healing isn’t Your will for me, Lord, I trust in Your sovereignty and goodness. Help me to accept Your plan for my life and to find peace and comfort in Your presence. I have faith that You are always working for my ultimate good, and that nothing can separate me from Your love.
I praise and thank You, Lord, for all that You have done in the past and for the blessings to come. I place my complete trust in You and I know that all things will work together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose.
I pray this in the name of Jesus, my Lord and Savior. Amen.
