Last Updated on August 29, 2024 by Pastor Ikechukwu Chinedum

Today we are dealing with Prayer Against Sickness and Disease. Sickness and disease are challenging experiences that test our faith and endurance. The Bible offers numerous assurances of God’s power to heal and restore. By invoking prayer and trusting in God’s promises, we can find solace and healing in times of physical and emotional distress.

Understanding Sickness and Disease

Sickness and disease are often seen as trials that can either draw us closer to God or lead us into despair. However, the Bible teaches us that God is our healer and that we can turn to Him in our times of need.

Biblical Promises of Healing

1. Exodus 15:26 He said, ‘If you listen carefully to the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you.

This verse assures us that God is our healer and that He has the power to remove diseases from our lives.

2. Psalm 107:20 – He sent out his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave.

God’s word has the power to heal and deliver us from all forms of affliction.

3. Isaiah 53:5 – But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.

This prophecy points to the suffering of Jesus Christ, whose sacrifice brings healing and wholeness to our lives.

Prayers for Healing

1. Prayer for Divine Healing

Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart full of faith and hope. I ask for Your divine healing touch upon my body. Your Word promises that by the stripes of Jesus, I am healed. I believe in Your power and ask for restoration of health. Heal me from all sickness and disease, and renew my strength. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

2. Prayer for Strength in Sickness

Lord God, I am facing illness and I feel weak and weary. I pray for Your strength to uphold me during this time. Help me to endure with faith and patience. May Your presence be my comfort, and may Your healing power be at work in my body. Grant me peace and the assurance of Your love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

3. Prayer for Healing of Specific Illness

Dear Lord, I specifically bring before You [mention the specific illness]. I trust in Your power to heal. Touch every part of my body affected by this illness and bring complete restoration. I claim Your promises of healing and ask for Your intervention in this matter. Thank You for Your grace and mercy. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Scriptural Affirmations for Healing

1. James 5:14-15 – 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. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven.

This passage encourages the use of prayer and anointing with oil as means of invoking healing.

2. Matthew 8:16-17- When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: ‘He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases.’

Jesus’ ministry on earth was marked by healing, and His work continues to be a source of hope for our own healing.
