Prayer for healing for a friend
(a prayer blessing for recovery from sickness)O Lord my creator,
You are the author, the maker, the keeper of life.
You hold everything, you are all love poured out.
You have blessed my friend with the wonder of medicine, the skills of the doctors and nurses, and love of friends and family.
Thank you.
Please complete your restoration work within them now. I pray that you would bring them back to full health and fitness. Father, come breathe in new life, new hope, new dreams and promises into their hearts, minds, body and soul.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.

Come Create Healing In Me
(a prayer poem for healing and recovery)Father, creator of heaven and earth,
Come create healing in me.
I drink in the warmth of your sunlight,
I rest in the beauty I see.
I lie down to sleep in the wings of your love,
I rise to the bird song of hope.
Help me to hear you, to know of your care,
I draw ever closer to you.
Father, redeemer, my Lord and my friend,
Come cleanse my heart and my mind.
I drink in your words, your promises true,
I eat from your table, such goodness I find.
I lay all my burdens before you,
I want to be carried by grace.
I know that you’ve held me through each darkest night,
I know in your presence I’m safe.
Father, my Father I call on your name,
I ask for complete restoration in you.
I stand free and wait, for a touch from your hand,
A wonderful blessing, a page that is new.
