a prayer for the sick by Emma Dancy
James 5 verse 14 says is anyone among you sick let them call the Elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord whether it is a pesky week-long called during the start of the fall weather a chronic illness or a serious disease we are people we know are living life today was sickness. I did not intend for us to be sick in this world our bodies were perfectly designed to be healthy and strong however when we send and darkness entered the world unfortunately sickness came to be
there are times in the Bible when people believed that a sickness was a punishment of sin and John 9 Jesus is healing a blind man and his own disciples asked who sent and his family John 9 verses 2 through 3 says and his disciples asked him who send this man or his parents that he was born blind Jesus answered neither this man nor his parents sinned but this happen so that the works of God would be displayed in him of course some sicknesses in this world can be a result of previous decisions made however the majority of the time sickness is simply a result of the Fall however I love how in John 9 Jesus points out that the Blind Man's parents never send for him to be born blind he was given blindness so God's glory would be displayed
today we are going to pray this over those who are sick in our lives Jesus did heal this man and give him sight so she is still our healer who can remove illnesses and diseases from this world however if he does not we can know with confidence that he can use it for a purpose greater than ourselves let's pray
Jehovah Rapha you are the God is our healer we come before you today on behalf of those in Our Lives who are sick Lord we know that you never wish for us to be sick but you have allowed it in our sinful world we pray that you would reveal your great comfort to them today help them to feel seen and cared for by you father give them hope and gratitude even when in bed or stuck at home
show them your love through other people as they look how that nature and in their times praying and reading your word give them a special sense of Victory today we pray for those who are dealing with serious illnesses that our hearts are burden for them we ask that they would know today that you are with them and have never left their sides give them continued hope and joy in the pain and suffering provide for them the best health care possible gives them the finances that they need help those who are sacrificing to take care of them in this illness or didn't able them to reach out for help when they need it and not to allow Pride to stand in the way give them your grace each day and would you please do a miracle in their lives and healed them on this side of heaven we pray no matter what that you would show your
South in a special and personal way to them in their sufferings and that you would be glorified in their midst we pray for those who are feeling run down today we ask that you would strengthen them and give them rest God you give sleep and restoration to those who are weary you strengthen those who need energy you care for the broken we asked it even for the most minor of colds at those who are sick today would be reminded that they are human and that you are there God may they find humility and strength and knowing that you care for their needs and help them when they're down gives them renewal and physical strength for anything they might need to accomplish this day we thank you for caring for every mean whether great or small you are the great physician You Are the Healer do your work in the last of the sick today
