Almighty God,
We come before You today asking for Your healing touch. We believe in Your power to restore health and wholeness to our bodies, and we trust in Your goodness and mercy.
We ask that You would bring healing to every part of our being – spirit, soul, and body. We pray for the restoration of strength and vitality, and for the removal of all sickness and disease.
We pray that You would give us the faith and the courage to trust in Your will, and to accept Your plan for our lives. We know that You are sovereign over all things, and that nothing is impossible for You.
We pray that You would use this time of illness to draw us closer to You, and to teach us the lessons that You have for us. May we grow in our relationship with You, and may Your love and grace be evident in our lives.
We pray all of these things in the name of Jesus, our Savior and Healer. Amen.
Suggested Bible Readings
James 5:14-16 ESV
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. Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.
Psalm 103:1-5 ESV
Of David.
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits,
who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
who satisfies you with good
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
