Christians can pray for the sick in multiple ways, seeking God's mercy in all aspects of their lives and those involved in helping them. We can pray for speeding recovery and God's comfort through the pain and sickness. We can also pray for their salvation and that God may somehow use their illness to bring them closer to Him and stronger in faith.
Are you suffering from a winter cold or possibly chronic pain for years, maybe even a life-threatening illness? Do you find it difficult to pray when you’re not well, or maybe you feel like you’re praying the same words over and over again? When we feel helpless, we often cling to control as a life raft, but Christ tells us to cling to Him during illness and other suffering.
We can pray for the sick and rest, knowing God can restore health! He has the power to heal us, and he has the power to comfort us and give us new hope. He gives us rest when we are weary and peace when we are uncertain. If you find it hard to pray during difficult times, you are not alone; pray along with these prayers for the sick!
Jesus, you control all the parts of my body, and you know when they’re not working at their best. Sickness leaves me stressed and steals time from everything I want to do. I’m honest, Lord. I don’t like to be sick. But times like this also make me rest in you, so I thank you for this chance simply to wait on you.
