Healing Prayers

People often overlook the power of healing prayers.

Need for healing

If you visit a hospital, you can see there is a great need for physical healing.

If you look at the people you meet in the streets, you can see a great need for spiritual healing.

Jesus wants to heal us both physically and spiritually.

I met a young girl who hated her alcoholic father. He had deserted his wife and young daughter and left them struggling to survive. This girl had a serious need for spiritual healing.

For healing to happen

Pray and believe the healing is going to happen. If it is part of God’s plan for us, it will happen.

When to ask for a healing

Ask as soon as you need help. Don't wait until you are desperate.

You can bring any problem to Jesus at any time. This includes your minor ones... pains and disappointments.

Praying for healing

  • Remember the words of Jesus:
    "Is anyone among you suffering? He should pray."

  • Ask, "Jesus please help me."

  • Tell Jesus your need and ask Him to fill you with the Holy Spirit.

  • State your need in your own words or use the following:
    "By the Precious Blood of Jesus may (name) be healed of (specify).

  • Repeat these words often.
  • Firmly believe that Jesus will answer your prayer.
  • Praise and thank Jesus and the Holy Spirit for helping you.
  • Pray for a healing or a blessing for another person.

Other prayers for healing

Remove obstacles to healing

Let go of any feelings that may be obstacles to healing.

It can help if you go to confession and receive the Eucharist.

Pray for your doctor

God often works through the healing hands of doctors, so pray for your doctor.
