Dear Lord,
We lift up to You our friend who is in need of healing and recovery. We ask that You would touch their body with Your healing power, and restore them to full health. We trust in Your goodness and faithfulness, and believe that nothing is impossible for You.
We ask that You would also bring peace and comfort to their mind and spirit during this difficult time. We pray that You would be glorified in their healing, and that they would see You as their loving and faithful Healer.
In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
Suggested Bible Readings
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.
Exodus 15:26 ESV
saying, “If you will diligently listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and do that which is right in his eyes, and give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you that I put on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, your healer.”
