Prayer Requests

Do you believe that prayer has the power to heal? More importantly do you want to believe in the power of prayer to heal? If you answered yes to either of the above questions you are already on your way to understanding the power of healing prayer. The first step to being healed by prayer or offering prayers that will help to heal a loved one is to believe in your prayer. This article will outline the definition of healing prayer, whether or not you can be healed by prayer and how to pray for healing.

What is Healing Prayer?

Healing prayer is prayer that is offered up for the purpose of seeking healing of either a physical or emotional nature. It is believe that through prayer physical and emotional pain can be eliminated. Healing prayer may include prayer spoken aloud, prayer held within the heart or visits to religious shrines or other places of worship.

Healing prayer does not involve monetary donations. Although offering contributions to houses of worship is certainly worthwhile there is no amount of money that can guarantee a cure to a physical or emotional pain. Some unscrupulous individuals may offer stories of healing and divine intervention and offer you the opportunity for healing for a fee. These individuals should be avoided. True healing prayer is pure and heartfelt.

Can You Be Healed By Prayer?

Although scientific evidence may not be overly supportive of healing prayer, Christians know the answer to this question. They know that prayer does have the power to heal when the prayer is offered with sincerity, humility and compassion. The form of healing that you or the recipient of your prayer receives may come in a variety of different levels. The healing may be a full curing of the medical or physical ailment or it may come in the form of easing the pain and bringing peace to the patient before they pass.

Healing prayer should be used in conjunction with standard medical treatments for the physical ailment. Undergoing medical treatments is not a lack of faith but rather a determination to be healed. For example it may be God’s plan that you are to be healed through a new form of treatment that could help many others who do not share your faith and spirituality.

How Do You Pray for Healing?

There is no simple formula for healing prayer. Although some would like to believe that there are special prayers that guarantee healing but, unfortunately, this is not the case. The words of a healing prayer pale in comparison to the emotion and passion behind the words. The simplest prayer can often be the most powerful because it invokes the most heartfelt emotion of the individual offering the prayer. Whether you are praying for your own healing, for the healing of a loved one or the healing of a stranger it is important that as you pray, you know in your heart that God has the power to heal and He will answer your prayer according to His plan. It has been said many times that no prayer goes unanswered but the answer to these prayers isn’t always, “Yes.”

The Power of Simple Prayer: How to Talk with God about Everything

On one occasion, I was asked to go into a room and be with a daughter whose Mom was dying. Mom was expected to die not long after I was to enter the room. When I went into the room, the daughter was at her Mom’s bedside. She did die not long after I had entered the room. Her husband was on his way to be with his wife and daughter of this patient. He did not make it in time.

The daughter did not want to be alone when Mom took her last breath. I was called to step in for her husband who could not make it in time to be with his Mother in Law and wife. When he arrived, his wife was so grateful that I had been with her that she shared this with her husband. During this time, I wondered if some guilt on his part may set in with his own personal grief. Just in case, I offered a prayer of release and blessing for their three lives having known one another in this life to include the Son in Law.

Prayer is a wonderful way to invoke the sacred into our lives. Prayer invites a comprehensive understanding that God/Higher Power is in charge of life and of death. It is a reminder how the presence of God’s Spirit supersedes everything and everyone’s ultimate ability to care for us beyond our own ability to do so. In this case, prayer was able to invite Unity in a situation whereby possible individual grief could have been encountered at a later time. Prayer enabled all to participate in Mom’s dying and death from a level of awareness that includes a life’s presence beyond the body itself.

As I write these words, I am reminded how vital prayer is to the Hospice patients and families we serve. Prayer encompasses an eternal awareness and brings forth healing when temporal circumstances could emerge individual flaws in our own psyche. Prayer invites unconditional grace and healing.

For this family, prayer became a way to include all participating in grief to join one another in the path of healing together. It invited what is most sacred in us to seek God for help during a difficult time. Also, prayer gave everyone in the room the ability to seek, and even find, the healing power of prayer by focusing our attention outside our ego enough to know exactly where our strength will come from.

Prayer is a participatory union between those evoking God’s presence through faith in a loving being who knows best how to care for us more than ourselves. It is a relationship based on trust. It is a trust reminding us who we really are as God’s children. And, it is a trust in God’s ultimate Will for our lives beyond our own understanding. It is as though we trust our lives into a Creative order of existence not made with human hands. It is a reminder to each of us just how sacred every moment is and a way of reminding each other who we really are.

Prayer invites us to close our eyes to the world around us and open them up into insight. Here, we see through our eyes what cannot be seen with them. It is here we envision and participate in unconditional love. Innocence is born in this sacred space healing a separation that was never meant to be.
