Almighty God,
We come before You today with heavy hearts as we lift up our friend who is in need of healing. We know that You are the source of all life and health, and we ask that You would touch our friend with Your healing power.
We ask that You would bring comfort to their pain, and strength to their weakness. We ask that You would restore function to their body, and that You would bring peace to their mind and spirit.
We know that You are the Great Physician, and we trust in Your ability to heal all sickness and disease. We pray for Your healing hand on our friend, in Jesus’ name we trust in Your ability to heal them.
We also ask for Your guidance to the medical professionals who is treating our friend, for wisdom in diagnosis and healing, may they work together with Your healing power.
We pray all this in the name of Jesus Christ, Our Lord, and we trust in Your unfailing love and mercy, Amen.

Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
