A short prayer for healing
Lord, You are the God who heals. You know every pain I carry, in my body and in my heart. Please touch me with Your healing hand, give me strength for today and peace for tonight. I trust You with what I cannot fix. In Jesus' name, Amen.
A prayer for someone who is sick
Father, I lift up the one I love to You. You see them right now, in the waiting room, the hospital bed or the long night at home. Ease their pain, calm their fears and restore their body. Give wisdom to every doctor and nurse caring for them, and surround them with Your presence so they know they are not alone. In Jesus' name, Amen.
A prayer before treatment or surgery
Lord, I place this treatment in Your hands. Guide the people who will care for me, steady their hands and clear their minds. Quiet my anxious thoughts and help me rest in You. Whatever the outcome, hold me close and carry me through. In Jesus' name, Amen.
A prayer for emotional healing
God of all comfort, You heal the broken in heart. Meet me in the hurt I don't have words for. Bind up what has been wounded, lift the heaviness I carry, and replace fear with hope. Teach me to rest in Your love one day at a time. In Jesus' name, Amen.
