Use these Christian prayers for the sick for the comfort, healing, and salvation of your friends and family. Pray these words of supplication to request God’s mercy and grace for those with illness.
Christians can pray for the sick in multiple ways, seeking God’s mercy in all aspects of their lives and those involved in helping them. We can pray for speeding recovery and God’s comfort through the pain and sickness. We can also pray for their salvation and that God may somehow use their illness to bring them closer to Him and stronger in faith.
Are you suffering from a winter cold or possibly chronic pain for years, maybe even a life-threatening illness? Do you find it difficult to pray when you’re not well, or maybe you feel like you’re praying the same words over and over again? When we feel helpless, we often cling to control as a life raft, but Christ tells us to cling to Him during illness and other suffering.
We can pray for the sick and rest, knowing God can restore health! He has the power to heal us, and he has the power to comfort us and give us new hope. He gives us rest when we are weary and peace when we are uncertain. If you find it hard to pray during difficult times, you are not alone; pray along with these prayers for the sick!
This prayer by Rebecca Barlow Jordan can help you acknowledge and trust in the dominion of God in the midst of sickness.
Jesus, you control all the parts of my body, and you know when they’re not working at their best. Sickness leaves me stressed and steals time from everything I want to do. I’m honest, Lord. I don’t like to be sick. But times like this also make me rest in you, so I thank you for this chance simply to wait on you.
I come to you today asking for your touch, Lord. Help me to be patient and allow you to do your work. If doctors are involved, give them wisdom, and thank you for providing the help I need, however you choose to provide. Whether this is a test, or simply a time to trust, I want my response to honor you.
As my Good Shepherd, I know you will lead me beside quiet places and restore my soul and body. I trust you and want to follow your leading. Help me to welcome this time not as an interruption in my carefully planned schedule, but as an opportunity to draw strength and nourishment for the journey ahead. You are my healer and my Great Physician. I look to you and give thanks for the promises in your Word that assure me of your presence and your help.
Teach me what you want me to learn during these unpleasant times, Lord. Help me not to take out my discomfort on those around me, and show me how to be a good patient while I’m recovering. In these days of sickness, Lord, I’m trusting you and asking you to make me well. And when you’ve restored my health, give me wisdom so I can treat my body as the temple of your Spirit. I’m eager to get back on my feet serving you, but I realize that even in sickness, I can still draw near to you. Thank you, Jesus. Amen!

Prayer for health, Mind and Body
Almighty God, you know that we are surrounded by many great dangers, and because of our human frailty, we cannot withstand them.
Give us health of mind and body so that we who suffer under sin may overcome and win the victory in you;
through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
