He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.<\/em> Isaiah 53:5<\/p>\n

Today we will be praying for those we know who are ill.\u00a0 If they are believers, we can pray for Christ\u2019s healing touch upon them.\u00a0 If they are un-believers, we need to pray for their salvation and healing.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s pray according to Psalm 103:1-5 which I call \u201cGod\u2019s Healthcare Plan\u201d.<\/p>\n

Bless the Lord, O my soul,
\nAnd forget not all His benefits:
\nWho forgives all your iniquities,
\nWho heals all your diseases,
\nWho redeems your life from destruction,
\nWho crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
\nWho satisfies your mouth with good things,
\nSo that your youth is renewed like the eagle\u2019s.<\/em><\/p>\n

Dear God in Jesus Christ\u2019s name I pray today for healing for all my brothers and sisters in Christ who may have infirmities and afflictions. I pray Lord that You will heal all their diseases and forgive all their iniquities as they have placed their hope and trust in You.\u00a0 I give You thanks Lord, that You have redeemed their life from destruction and crowned them with lovingkindness and tender mercies.\u00a0 I give thanks that You will satisfy their mouths with good things and renew their youth as they continue to follow You and walk in the Spirit here on earth.<\/p>\n

Dear God, I also pray for healing for those who are not yet believers in Christ.\u00a0 I pray that their eyes will be opened to the truth of the gospel and that their minds and hearts will be opened to receive Your free gift of salvation, so that they might be healed spiritually and physically.\u00a0 Thank You God, for providing a way for all mankind to be healed.\u00a0 I pray that all may see and know the wonderful gifts You provide to those who will choose to believe.\u00a0 In Christ\u2019s name I pray, Amen.<\/p>\n

Remember:\u00a0 \u201cThe earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.<\/em>\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0James 5:16<\/p>\n
