A Prayer for Health
A Scripture-centered prayer for health and a simple way to make the prayer your own.
Bring what is real.
Open the app with the question, prayer, or part of life you are carrying. AskJesus helps you move into Scripture, reflection, prayer, and a faithful next step.
Read. Reflect. Pray. Take the next faithful step.
You do not need polished words.
Scripture invites prayer, communal care, and hope without promising that every illness will be healed on our preferred timeline. Seeking evaluation and treatment from qualified health professionals can be a faithful part of caring for the body and mind God has given you.
Father, You know what I am carrying and what I cannot fix. Meet me in this season of health. Give me wisdom to see what is true, courage to do what is mine to do, and humility to release what I cannot control. Use Your Word to correct fear, shame, hurry, or disappointment in me. Put wise people around me and help me receive support when I need it. Teach me to be faithful in the next step instead of demanding the whole path at once. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
Make it your own.
1. Tell God the specific thing.
Use ordinary words. Say what you want, what you fear, and what you need help to do faithfully.
2. Ask for formation, not only relief.
Use ordinary words. Say what you want, what you fear, and what you need help to do faithfully.
3. Connect the prayer to Scripture.
Start with Psalm 23:1-6, Mark 5:25-34, Luke 10:30-37.
4. End with one next step.
Write down your main health concern and questions, pray over them, and arrange or keep an appointment with an appropriate qualified health professional.
