Prayers for Healing Sick Family and Friends. The Bible tells us to ask for healing from God and we will be provided with health and strength to conquer whatever discomfort we endure. May we turn to God for comfort anytime we are unwell or despondent, knowing that He will heal our mind, body, and spirit. Below are some examples of healing prayers and how we can pray for the purification of bodily, mental, and spiritual diseases.
“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.” – 3 John 1:2
What is the Best Way to Pray for Healing?
We can approach our heavenly father and request that he heal us since he desires for us to be entire. He desires for us to be complete, not only in spirit and soul but also in the body. Remember, the Bible’s main goal is to restore the Garden of Eden, to return us to the state we were in when Adam and Eve didn’t have bursitis, spinal problems, or a crick in the neck. As a result, whenever there is an illness, God has an opportunity to show his glory.
Now, where we get tangled is in the question of when God will reveal his magnificence. And to what extent will we be restored? But, in the book I’m talking about, we have to start by understanding that sickness is God’s domain. Even if he didn’t create it, he still has control over it. As a result, I state in the book that you can expect to get healed. Will you be cured right away? I sincerely hope so. Will you be able to recover gradually? This happens quite frequently. But, in the end, we will all be cured, and it isn’t a cop-out to claim that our healing will take place on the other side of death. That is the pinnacle of healing.
However, we may rest assured that healing will occur. If he heals you gradually, it signifies that this particular ailment is being utilized for his glory, for the growth of your character, or perhaps as a sermon. You know, one of the men in our congregation has been dealing with a muscular problem for a long time. But, boy, he’s a shining example. We’ve all encountered folks who have inspired us because of their illness. That may be part of their testimony, but God continues to heal them. Then, in the end, we shall all be healed.
As a result, it’s critical to tell God about our physical pains during prayer. It is. And to allow God to speak to us about it, to console us, and to provide knowledge into that area of our lives.
We’d like to share with you some of our favourite healing prayers. We can turn to God for physical, emotional, and spiritual healing for ourselves, a loved one, or a friend.

A Healing Prayer for Sick Family and Friends
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for loving [name of the individual who needs healing]. I’m sure you despise what their disease has done to them/me. I beg that you heal this disease, that you have compassion, and that you bring healing to all people who are sick.
When we call out to you, the Eternal One, you will give the command, heal us, and save us from imminent death, according to your word in Psalm 107:19-20. I’ve read about miraculous healing in the Bible, and I think you still cure in the same way now. I believe you can heal any ailment because the Bible says you can raise people from the dead, thus I pray for your healing in this scenario.
I also know from my existence on this planet that not everyone is cured. Keep my heart gentle toward you, help me grasp your plan, and let me be thrilled about paradise if that happens here.

Conclusion
It’s easy to feel pessimistic in times of emotional or physical distress; it’s easy to believe that things will never get better. “With God, all things are possible,” the Bible states. When you face challenges in life — whether they are related to your health, career, relationships, or something else taking the time to sit and say a prayer for healing might be beneficial.
No, it will not be the answer to your problems. Saying a healing prayer, on the other hand, might bring you peace at a time when you need it the most. (For added comfort, try repeating some healing Bible lines.) The prayers don’t have to be offered for you, of course. If you know someone who is going through a difficult time, remembering them and sending healing prayers their way will help them find peace.
