A Prayer to Ease Pain
Almighty Father, Thank you for your love, grace, and mercy. I pray that my discomforts will turn to comforts, my pains to gains, my deprivation to more blessings, my losses to profits, my tear to smiles, my sorrows to pleasures, my illness to wellness, my debts to credits and my dreams to realities.
As the Scripture said, “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” And he “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
I trust in you Lord and in you alone to heal me with any form of skepticism towards blessing that you will be employed upon me. I trust, Lord, that this agony and suffering that is only in my head, will come to end and positivism will shine upon me as I read, hear, study, and preach the truth in the Bible.
My Lighthouse of Hope
Most gracious and loving Father, I want to thank You for all the blessings You've given me, my family and friends, and all those I hold dear.
Thank You, Lord for giving me another day to see the beauty of your creations. You know the state of crisis that I am in now Lord. I want to be of use again to You, Lord. In the time of my hospitalization, You Lord remain as my rock and my anchor.
You stand as my lighthouse giving me hope. I pray Lord that you will heal me soon. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Lord Have Mercy, Cleanse, Pardon, and Heal
Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us.
Lord, cleanse us from our sins.
Master, pardon our transgressions.
Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities,
for your name’s sake.

A Prayer for Self-Healing and Love
Gracious and Loving God, I know that your word declares that I am made in your image. You call me your child and speak words of ceaseless grace and eternal mercy. But I have a hard time accepting these truths for myself. When I look at myself, I see only my faults, my insufficiencies, and my mistakes. I see a sinner to be condemned rather than a child to be loved.
Help me to see who I am in your sight. Help me claim my belovedness when I am tempted to deny it. Open my mouth in praise when I am tempted to speak words of rejection.
Lord Jesus Christ, lead me into times of rest and healing. When I am threatened with being overworked, burnt out, exhausted, or discouraged, call me away from my busyness to rest in you. Give me the boldness to treat myself well, to work on my own healing, and to be at peace with who I am. Help me to delight in myself as you delight in me.
Heavenly Father, I long to be the person you have created me to be. Help me to express the love that you so lavishly bestow upon my life, and may I respond to your Spirit that continues to transform me in your grace. I pray all of this in the name of Jesus Christ, my Savior. Amen. - adapted from prayer by Kyle Norman

Healing Prayer from the Bible
Heavenly Father, Your Word declares that You are the God who heals us. I come before You now, seeking Your healing touch, knowing that Your promises are true and steadfast.
In faith, I claim the words from Psalm 103:2-3, "Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases." Lord, I thank You for the forgiveness of my sins and I ask for Your healing power to flow through me.
I believe in the truth of James 5:15, which says, "And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up." I present my affliction before You, trusting that as I pray in faith, You will bring forth healing and restoration.
I hold onto the promise from Isaiah 53:5, that "by his wounds we are healed." Lord Jesus, You bore our sicknesses and carried our pains upon the cross. I invite Your healing virtue to flow through my body, bringing wholeness and wellness.
In this moment, I surrender my pain, my illness, and my worries to You, knowing that You are the Great Physician. May Your healing power be manifest in my life, according to Your perfect will.
I declare Your words from Jeremiah 30:17, that You will restore health to me and heal my wounds. I trust in Your faithfulness and I wait expectantly for Your healing touch.
In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
