Pastors and clergy selected the prayers below, and some are from rare, out-of-print prayer books. God has long been in the business of answering prayers for healing. He wants us to have healthy bodies and lives. When we pray, we're asking Him to use us as instruments for changing our world. Prayer books are very useful tools for those who want to know what to say when they pray for a sick person. Some books contain short prayers for various conditions, and others have long prayers with sections break them down into smaller parts. But whatever book you choose, make sure it contains prayers that speak to your heart. And if you don't see any prayers that match what's going on with you right now, feel free to write your own!
