When a family member is ill, it can be a difficult and trying time. We may feel helpless and want to do anything we can to help them heal. One way we can help is by praying for them. Prayer is a powerful tool that can help us to communicate our wishes for healing to a higher power. It can also help us to release our fears and concerns, and to trust that our loved one will be healed. If you are looking for a miracle prayer for healing for a family member, here is a beautiful prayer to use:
“Lord Jesus, we come to You today asking for healing for our loved one. We know that You are the great physician and that there is nothing too hard for You. We ask that You would touch our family member with Your healing power and make them whole. We thank You in advance for Your miracle of healing and we will praise Your name forever. In your most precious name, Amen.”
