Lord, by the authority of the mighty name of Jesus, I pray for healing for each one who reads this. You know exactly what each person needs, and I have no doubt that You are able and willing. There is nothing too hard for You! The trouble for our finite understanding, however, is that often the timing is a challenge for us to accept, and sometimes we do not understand how You use our afflictions to perfect us. Sometimes, you allow the infirmity to remain awhile so that You can do a marvelous work in our hearts and lives. Often, you take us through a season of growth as we walk through the process of healing rather than an instant miracle. And, that is OK! Nevertheless, we put our trust in You for Your perfect touch in Your perfect timing, and we leave all the hows and whys and whens up to You. You are sovereign, and You love each person immensely.

As I read and claim these promises in Scripture, I am reminded that Your Word is infallible. You cannot fail; and You cannot go back on Your Word. Therefore, by faith and with thanksgiving, we bring our requests to You, and we stand boldly upon Your Word. Help our limited understanding and our weak faith. Yet, all it takes is faith as small as a mustard seed!

Lord, I pray for each one to be strengthened and encouraged today. Left their spirits and fill them with fresh peace and joy today. Use our pain to make us more like You, but bring relief and complete healing very soon. Use this as a tool to draw us into a more intimate relationship with You. In the name of Jesus, I curse all illness, and especially cancer. Blow some minds with Your healing touch. Honor our faith, but help us to trust You no matter what things look like right now. Help us to have thankful hearts and to give You praise, glory, honor, and our deepest worship in all things. You are so worthy!

In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

May God bless you all abundantly!
