Heavenly Father,
I come to You in faith, believing that You are able to do more than I could ever ask or imagine. I bring before You my request for healing, knowing that Your Word promises that You are the God who heals.
Even if healing does not come in the way that I desire, I trust in Your sovereignty and Your loving care for me. I know that You are the Great Physician and that You are working everything out for my good. I ask that You would give me peace and comfort in this difficult time, and that You would fill me with Your joy and hope.
I pray that You would touch me with Your healing power, and that You would restore my body to full health and strength if it is Your will. I pray that You would remove any sickness or disease from me, and that You would give me the grace and strength to bear any pain or suffering.
I pray that You would use my healing, or my journey through suffering, to bring glory to Your name and to show Your love and compassion to those around me. I thank You for Your faithfulness and for all the blessings You have given me.
I pray this in the precious name of Jesus, my Savior and Lord. Amen.
