Asking for help and healing

• Come to your prayer time with an open mind and heart

• Be honest with God

• Use simple words

• Or, use no words at all - the Holy Spirit prays on our behalf (Romans 8:26)

• Pray for those you care for by name

• Recall times when God has answered prayer for healing to give you motivation to keep praying

• Read the Bible stories of when Jesus healed people

  • the healing of an official's son at Capernaum (Jn 4:43-54);

  • the healing of Peter's mother-in-law (Matt 8:14-15);

  • the healing of a man with leprosy (Mar 1:40-45);

  • the healing of a woman in the crowd with an issue of blood (Luke 8:42-48);

  • the healing of a man born blind (Jn 9:1-12)
