Praying for Healing
One of the topics that came up in the book The Power of Praying Together was “one of the prayers you will be asked to pray most often for other people will be for healing.” If you are familiar with Stormie Ormatian’s Power of Praying books you know she often uses scriptures to form prayers. From reading her books it has been truly refreshing to see how God’s Word and prayer truly work together.
Here are some scriptures related to healing:
Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; Save me, and I shall be saved, For You are my praise. – Jeremiah 17:14
For I will restore health to you And heal you of your wounds,’ says the Lord, ‘Because they called you an outcast saying: “This is Zion; No one seeks her.” ‘ – Jeremiah 30:17
Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases – Psalm 103:2-3
But 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. – Isiaiah 53:5
But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise With healing in His wings; And you shall go out And grow fat like stall-fed calves. – Malachi 4:2
Some of these were familiar to me and others were new. I hope you find them helpful to include in your prayers. God definitely hears our prayers and he will move on a situation according to His perfect will.
