You are not alone in your suffering, and healing will come.
The Power of Prayer for Healing
The power of prayer is profoundly healing. Through prayer, I open my heart to God and allow His divine light to flow into my being. This light carries healing energy that can make me whole in body, mind and spirit.
Pray with Faith
When I pray for healing, I must pray with faith and belief that God can and will heal me. My faith activates the healing power of God and allows miracles to happen. “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.” (Mark 5:34)
Pray Specifically
I pray specifically for the healing I need, whether physical, emotional or spiritual. I am honest with God about my condition, how I feel, and ask Him to restore my health and wholeness. “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” (Matthew 7:7)
Pray for Others
The power of prayer extends beyond myself. I can pray for the healing of others, even if I do not know them personally. Through prayer, I tap into the divine flow of healing and channel it to whomever needs it. “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.” (James 5:16)
Believe in the Healing
After praying, I must continue to believe in the healing. My faith and belief will help manifest the healing. I know God is able to do abundantly more than I can ask or imagine. I open my heart to receive the healing, trusting in God’s infinite power and grace.
