Prayers for Healing

In the Hands of God

More than ever I find myself in the hands of God.
This is what I have wanted all my life from my youth.

But now there is a difference;
the initiative is entirely with God.

It is indeed a profound spiritual experience
to know and feel myself so totally in God's hands.

- Pedro Arrupe, S.J.

Restore My Strength

Holy Spirit, drive away from me all forms of sickness and disease.
restore strength to my body and joy to my spirit,
so that in my renewed health,
I may bless and serve you,
now and forevermore.

Renew My Mind, Body and Soul

O' Holy One
I come before you today in need of your healing hand.
In you all things are possible.
Hold my heart within yours, and renew my mind, body, and soul.

I am lost, but I come to you with grace.

You gave us life, and you also give us the gift of infinite joy.
Give me the strength to move forward on the path you've laid out for me.
Guide me towards better health, and give me the wisdom to identify those you've placed

Mend What is Broken

Gracious God,
I call on you right now in a special way.
It is through your power
that I was created.
Every breath I take,
every morning I wake,
and every moment of every hour,
I live under your power.

I ask you now to touch me
with that same power.
For if you created me from nothing,
you can certainly recreate me.
Fill me with the healing power of your spirit.
Cast out anything that should not be in me.

Mend what is broken.
Root out any unproductive cells.
Open any blocked arteries or veins
and rebuild any damaged areas.
Remove all inflammation and
cleanse any infection.
Let the warmth of your healing
love pass through my body
to make new any unhealthy areas
so that my body will function
the way you created it to function.

Restore me to full health
in mind and body so that I may
serve you the rest of my life.

Dull The Pain

Dear God,
It hurts so bad.
Dull the pain with Your love.
Blur the sharp edges by reminding me that from bad comes good.
Help me appreciate that after the sorrow, joy is sweeter.
I look forward to better times. I can endure anything with You by my side.

Healing For My Long Time Illness

Grand Spirit
Thank You for being with me through all the ups and downs of my life and for the many blessings that You have given me for which I praise and thank You.

You know the illness that I have been struggling with for a long time now and that there is little that seems to be able to be done by the medical profession - but I believe that I am fearfully and wonderfully made and that You know every part of my body. You know exactly why I have been ill for so long. I come to You now asking that You would work a full recovery in my body - whatever is causing this persistent problem. I pray that You would, in Your mercy, give me back the health and strength I need.

Guide me along the path that You have planned for me.

For a Sick Friend

O Holy Spirit, please come like a dove
Shield and protect now the one that I love.
Cover their wounds with Your grace feathered wings,
Shield them from sorrow, breathe hope songs within.

Tend with Your goodness the pain that they bear
Heal now their sickness with miracle care.
Carry them high far above till they see
Your rainbow of promise, real hope lies ahead.

I love them so dearly, so help me to be
All that you, would give out through me.

For A Sick Mother

Gracious God,
Hold my lovely mum at this time of illness, watch over her when she cannot sleep,
speak your love to her when she is afraid, touch and heal her weak body.
You are the fountain of life. I ask for your life giving water to pour down upon her.
Build her up again, look after her emotions and may she know your loving arms are around her at this time.
Thank you for your love, and for your promises to your children.
Thank you that you will never leave us, and that you bring us a peace that surpasses all understanding.

1 Peter 1:8-9 | Whom Having Not Seen, Ye Love

 

1 Peter 1:8-9

Whom Having Not Seen, Ye Love

Morning Prayer

Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

1 Peter 1:8-9

Inspiration 

Faith means believing without seeing. There are many things we believe without seeing – for example, the air. We do not see it, but we know it is there. For those of us who have faith in the Lord, we know he is real and our salvation is true because we believe without seeing. And, unlike an intangible object, we show affection towards him because we believe what he has done for us. How can we not be filled with love and joy knowing we have received this gift of salvation and will spend eternity with a Savior we know, but have not seen? It's amazing.

Prayer

Dear God, we do not have to see you to believe what you have done. We have heard the stories of your goodness, and we have felt the presence of your Holy Spirit in our lives. You saved me when I was a sinner and transformed my heart and mind. You have filled me with joy unspeakable and I cannot help but rejoice! I love you, Lord! Thank you for the gift of my salvation! Give me opportunities to share my faith with those who need you, Lord. In Jesus' name, amen.

Ephesians 6:12: Our Struggle Is Not Against Flesh And Blood

Ephesians 6:12: Our Battle Is Not Against Flesh And Blood

by Olivia Salter

Good morning, brothers and sisters in Christ. Today, I invite you to turn your Bibles to Ephesians 6:12, which says, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."

In this verse, the apostle Paul provides us with a powerful reminder of the spiritual reality that exists beyond what our eyes can see. He reveals to us that there is a battle taking place—a battle not against ordinary human beings but against powerful spiritual forces that seek to corrupt, deceive, and divide.

It is crucial for us to understand the context in which this verse is placed. The letter to the Ephesians, written by Paul while he was in prison, addresses the various challenges faced by the early Christian community. Paul urges the believers to stand firm in their faith, living out their calling as children of God.

He reminds the Ephesians and us today that our struggles are not merely physical or against flesh and blood. Instead, our primary battle is against spiritual forces. Paul emphasizes that these forces pervade the heavenly realms, working relentlessly to hinder our relationship with God and disrupt our Christian witness.

So, who are these spiritual forces of evil? They are not to be taken lightly or dismissed as mere superstition. They are real and formidable adversaries whose main goal is the destruction of God's purposes and the enslavement of humanity. Furthermore, they manifest themselves in various ways, such as false ideologies, moral corruption, division within the church, and temptations that can lead us astray.

It is important for us to recognize that this battle is not something we can fight with our own strength. Our passage reminds us that we have a responsibility to engage in this spiritual warfare, but we must do so with the full armor of God.

Ephesians 6:13–17 goes on to describe the spiritual armor God provides for us, equipping us to stand strong against the powers of darkness. We are instructed to wear truth as a belt, righteousness as a breastplate, readiness with the gospel of peace as shoes, faith as a shield, and the Word of God as a sword.

When we rely on God's armor, we are enabled to resist the schemes of the enemy, rejecting his lies and temptations. Our battle cry becomes one of faith, holding fast to the promises of God and standing firm on the foundation of His truth.

Brothers and sisters, this passage serves as a call to vigilance and alertness in our spiritual lives. We must not be ignorant or passive, but rather fully aware of the spiritual battle that wages around us. We need to remain rooted in our faith, live in righteousness, and be steadfast in our commitment to Christ.

Furthermore, this passage encourages us to support one another as we engage in this ongoing battle. The Christian journey was never meant to be traveled alone. We are called to stand shoulder to shoulder, encouraging and uplifting one another, as we strive to resist the forces of evil and advance the Kingdom of God.

Let us heed the warning and encouragement found in Ephesians 6:12. May we never forget that our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces. With the armor of God, let us press forward, knowing that victory is assured in Christ Jesus.

In conclusion, let us be aware of the spiritual battle that surrounds us. Let us take hold of the armor of God and fight against the forces of evil. And may we find comfort and strength in the assurance that, through Christ, we are more than conquerors in this spiritual warfare.

May the Lord bless you and keep you, and may His Spirit empower you to stand firm against the schemes of the enemy. 

Amen.
