Prayers for Healing
A Prayer for Healing of Body
A contemporary prayer for physical healing rooted in the healing narratives of the Gospels and in James 5:14–15, which instructs the sick to call for the elders of the church.
Lord Jesus, healer of the sick, you touched the leper and took the hand of the little girl and told her to rise.
Touch this body of mine, which is not working as it should.
Where there is disease, drive it out. Where there is pain, ease it.
Bless the hands of those treating me and give them clear judgment.
If healing comes slowly, give me patience. If it does not come as I ask, do not let me be separated from you.
Whether in health or in weakness, I am yours. Amen.
Contemporary prayer based on James 5:14-15
