Dear God,
We come before You today asking for Your healing and miracle-working power to be at work in the life of (insert person’s name). Lord, we believe that You are a God of healing and that nothing is too difficult for You.
We know that You care deeply for (person’s name) and that You have a plan and purpose for their life. We ask that You would bring physical healing to (their) body, and that You would bring emotional and spiritual healing as well.
We pray that You would give (person’s name) the strength and courage to endure this difficult time, and that You would provide for all of their needs. We pray for Your peace to guard their heart and mind, and for Your hope to fill their soul.
We also lift up to You the doctors and medical professionals who are caring for (person’s name). We ask that You would give them wisdom and skill as they work, and that You would guide their hands and decisions.
Lord, we trust in Your goodness and Your faithfulness, even if healing does not come in the way that we desire. We believe that You are able to do immeasurably more than we could ask or imagine, and that You are sovereign over all things. We place our hope in You and pray that You would work a miracle in (person’s name’s) life, whether that be through physical healing or through the comfort and peace that only You can provide.
In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

O Lord my God, I cried to you for help,
and you have healed me.
James 5:14-15 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.
3 John 1:2 ESV
Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.
