Short prayer for healing

Lord,

I hunger for your spirit
Holy and life-giving, guiding and transforming
Free and abundant.
I long to drink from the water of life,
To run through your endless streams,
To be made anew and healed.

So I won't give up on you.
I'll shelter in the shadow of your love.
Whilst I wait for your touch,
I'll clothe myself in resurrection grace today, and every day.

Amen.

May you have rest and peace in your heart.
May angels surround your bed through the night.
May each day bring healing with the dawn,
Restore your energy, and heal your wounds.
May hope remain within your heart,
As you find new strength and make a new start.
I pray you'll soon be well,
To love and live and enjoy life again.

Prayer for healing and strength
(a Christian prayer for healing the sick)

Jesus,

We wait upon you.
Knee deep in the water of life,
Expectant and hopeful.
May the waves of the Holy Spirit
Be upon us,
Ministering to the pain,
Smoothing over wounds
And wrapping us with peace.

Our eyes are on you,
Your Majesty,
Your Kingdom love,
Your creative power.

Our hearts are open,
To receive,
Child to Father,
All you have for us.

We wait upon you,
You are our Saviour
And our King.

Amen.

Short healing prayer for others
(a prayer for a friend or loved one)

Lord,

As the wind blows,
Breathe in new life to my loved one.
As the sun shines
Warm their hearts with your hope.
As the birds fly,
Lift their minds to see vision for the future.
As the plants grow,
Restore their bodies with new health.
As the rain falls,
Wash away the infection, disease and illness they suffer.

You are Lord of all.
We put our trust in you!

Amen.

bible verses on God's healing

"Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord."

(James 5:14, NIV)

"Dear friend, listen well to my words;
tune your ears to my voice.
Keep my message in plain view at all times.
Concentrate! Learn it by heart!
Those who discover these words live, really live;
body and soul, they’re bursting with health."

(Proverbs 4:20-22, The Message)

"He suffered and endured great pain for us, but we thought his suffering was punishment from God. He was wounded and crushed because of our sins; by taking our punishment, he made us completely well."

(Isaiah 53:4-5, CEV)
