Sick Man’s Prayer (2024)

FAQs

What is the sick man's prayer? ›

God, when a person offends me, help me to remember this is a sick person. Help me show the same tolerance, pity, and patience that we would cheerfully grant a sick friend.

Heavenly Father, giver of life and health: Comfort and relieve your sick servant, and give your power of healing to those who minister to his needs, that he may be strengthened in his weakness and have confidence in your loving care; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Bible assures us that God saves all who call upon His Son, Jesus, and believe in their hearts that He is Lord. So when He chooses not to heal someone physically, perhaps it's because there are hearts that need to be healed unto salvation.

Trust in God Prayer

Please help me to look to you instead of relying on my own strength and trust that you always do what is best for me. May your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard my heart and my mind in Christ Jesus. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.

"Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise." "And the people all tried to touch him, because power was coming from him and healing them all." "'But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,' declares the Lord."

The prayer of protection. The prayer of transformation. The prayer of restoration.

Words to wish someone a speedy recovery

Hoping you feel better every day. Warmest wishes for a speedy recovery. Thinking of you, and sending healing thoughts. You're such a strong person, and I've always admired your courage and strength.

Words of encouragement for a sick person can help immensely in their physical and mental recovery. Just hearing someone say that they care about you, believe in your ability to heal, or that life will get better is often enough to improve someone's mood during their illness.

We must not judge the Lord, nor should we harden our hearts when seemingly an answer has not come. Instead, we need to trust the Lord and know he is answering our prayers in his own way and by his own means. As Isaiah taught us: For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

- As long as your prayers are for selfish motives, driven by pride hidden in your heart, God will not answer them. - Other versions start this verse with “don't be anxious” in place of “Be careful…” - Once you know God has said yes, you know you will receive it.

Psalm 103. "Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion" (Psalm 103:2-4).

Prayer for Good Health

Holy Spirit, drive away from us all forms of sickness and diseases. Restore strength to my body and joy to my spirit, so that in my renewed health will I serve you now, and forever. Amen.

“Father in heaven, I stand before You today in Your omnipotent presence to ask that You grant me strength. I want You to give me the strength to power through all of the tasks today — whether little or big. It is by Your will that I live oh Lord. And I know it is also by Your will I will not go weak today.

I come before you, oh Lord, and drink in this moment of peace, that I may carry something of your hope, love, and joy today in my heart. Lord, grant me tenacious winsome courage as I go through this day. When I am tempted to give up, help me to keep going. Grant me a cheerful spirit when things don't go my way.

What do you reply when someone feels sick? ›

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. The World English Bible translates the passage as: In praying, don't use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.

There are many reasons why prayer is not answered. God is by no means obliged to answer every prayer for every person. The Bible tells us that sometimes prayers are not answered because we nourish and cherish sin in our hearts.

So when you feel like God isn't hearing your prayers, keep praying. When you aren't feeling spiritually filled during worship, keep attending. When you “aren't getting anything out of” your devotion, keep reading. “The one who prays is never forgotten.”

This can happen through prayer, contemplation and/or time in the Bible. We begin to discern God's voice over the noise of our world as we give time to these disciplines. The Holy Spirit begins speaking to us. We begin to hear God through those around us, circ*mstances and even our conscience.

Jesus said, absolutely not. Our heavenly Father is nothing like the judge in the parable (Luke 18:6-8). God never grows weary of listening to his children. In fact, Jesus told us to keep on asking, keep on seeking, and keep on knocking (Matthew 7:7, AMP).
