A Prayer For Healing

This prayer can be prayed after the ‘Prayer of Descent’ which is also available on the website, but it can also be used on its own in this form.

Here are some tips for using it.

1. Find a quiet place and if possible do not bring your phone

- If you need it for a timer or for music, make sure to put it on airplane mode

3. Sit down and get comfortable, let your body & mind become still

4. Take time to pray and repeat these simple words

Lord Jesus, I take refuge in you and put my trust in you. I belong to you. You are my healer.

Come and surface any part in me that you are wanting to heal today.

Uproot all fear and self-sufficiency from my heart. Holy Spirit, let there be light.

5. We’ve just asked for the Spirit’s light, as he gives it, let’s try and notice what he’s showing us.

It might be that, what comes to mind as we wait with God is a memory of something that’s happened to us, or something we think about ourselves. It might be something that you’ve done that you’re ashamed of, or something you’ve said. It’s not meant to be a pressure thing, we don’t have to go digging, just let the Spirit show you. Whatever comes to mind, begin to talk to God honestly about what he is showing you.  

If you’re angry tell him, if you’re discouraged or disheartened tell him,

If you feel ashamed about something, speak about it, ask for his help and be honest.

Speak to God like you would speak to a friend. Repeating the prayer above is necessary.

Lord Jesus, I take refuge in you and put my trust in you. I belong to you. You are my healer.

Come and surface any part in me that you are wanting to heal today.

Uproot all fear and self-sufficiency from my heart. Holy Spirit, let there be light.
