Prayers for healing
I used to pray simple prayers for generic healing and for everyone to be healthy. I didn’t understand the magnitude and power of our God. I didn’t understand how much He loves and cares for His children.
Since growing and learning more into my relationship with Christ, I have learned to pray more robust prayers. I started trusting. I started asking the minute and the monumental prayers.
When my baby has a diaper rash, I pray for healing and for his body to function the way that God designed his body to function. When my husband’s psoriasis flares up, I pray for his skin to be clear and for him to feel relief. When my mom has sciatica, I pray for relief, for her to sleep well and wake up well rested, and for her body to function properly. When someone has cancer, I pray for all traces of cancer to be gone, for encouragement for them to keep fighting, for wisdom for the medical team, for them to grow closer to the Lord through this and for the Lord to be glorified.
Since learning to pray these big and small prayers, I have seen lots of healing take place. I’ve seen comfort in tough seasons for other people. When you feel the knock to pray for others, do it. You never know if you’re the only person praying for them.
