A Prayer for Healing
Whether the wound is in your body or deeper than that, bring it to the One who heals. Ask boldly, and let the family ask with you.
Great Physician, You made me and You know every part of me.
Where there is sickness, bring wholeness. Where there is pain, bring relief.
Strengthen those who care for me and give wisdom to every hand that helps.
Heal my body if it is Your will, and heal my heart either way.
I trust myself to You. Amen.
“He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.”
Psalm 147:3
You don’t have to pray alone
On The Living Bread you can ask the family of God to pray for you and watch prayers be answered, or pray for someone else who needs it today. It is free, and you are welcome exactly as you are.

Questions people ask
What Scripture is a prayer for healing built on?
It rests on Psalm 147:3. The prayer above is written in plain words around that passage, and the verse is quoted from the stored text, not from memory.
What if I have no words to pray for healing?
Start with the first line of the prayer above and stop there if that is all you can say. God hears the first honest sentence. You can also ask the family of God on The Living Bread to pray with you and for you.
Can I pray this for someone else?
Yes. Change the first person to their name and pray the same lines for them. Praying for others is part of loving one another, and you can ask the family of God to join you.
Pray this
Lord Christ, you love the people of Healing more than we can. We bring you healing, a sick loved one, strength. Make us people who love one another there. In the name of Jesus, amen.
