A Prayer for Health

Health Tips

By David Bonifacio

I don’t consider myself a religious guy – not by a long shot. But every morning, to start my day, I humble myself in prayer and lift up my day to God. I believe that a healthy spirit is just as important as a healthy soul and body. I came across this prayer from the book Prayers that avail much for Men by Germaine Copeland. It’s a prayer on health that I would like to share with you.

Health & Healing

Father, in the name of Jesus, I come before You asking You to heal me. It is written that the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if I have committed sins, I will be forgiven. I let go of all unforgiveness, resentment, anger and bad feelings towards anyone.

My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and I desire to be in good health. I seek truth that will make me free – both spiritual and natural. You bought me at a price, and I desire to glorify You in my spirit and my body – they belong to You.

Thank you, Father, for sending Your Word to heal me and deliver me from all my destructions. Jesus, You are the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us. You bore my grief (pains) and carried my sorrows (sickness). You were pierced through my transgressions, crushed for my iniquities, the chastening for my well being fell upon You, and by Your scourging I am healed.

Father, I give attention to Your words, and incline my ear to Your sayings. I will not let them depart from my sight, but keep them in the midst of my heart. For they are life and health to my whole body.

Since the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in me, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to my mortal body through His Spirit who dwells in me.

Thank you that I will prosper and be in health even as my soul prospers. Amen.
