TAKE IT TO THE LORD IN PRAYER 

Here at Wholly Nyorished, we believe in the power of prayer. One of our core beliefs is that true healing isn’t just physical. God chooses to work through practitioners such as myself, but ultimately Jesus Christ is the Chief Physician.

There’s an old hymn that says, “Oh what peace we often forfeit. Oh what needless pain we bear. All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.”

As you go through your healing journey, the road may not always be easy. There will be highs and lows but no matter what situation you find yourself in, you can always take it to the Lord in prayer.

PRAYER STARTERS FOR YOUR HEALING JOURNEY

Not sure where to start? Here are a few ideas to get you started with communicating with the Lord. Just remember that at the endof the day though, prayer is simply communicating with the Lord. Be honest with Him about exactly how you’re feeling at any point of your journey. Even if you’re struggling with having faith that He can heal you, let Him know. Ask Him to increase your faith. 

Feeling afraid about your health or a procedure?

“When I am afraid I will trust in You.

In God whose word I praise,

In God I trust; I will not fear.”- Psalm 56:3-4

 

Dear God,

I am feeling afraid of what is happening to my body. I am afraid of something bad happening to me. I am afraid of how this (procedure/ treatment/appointment will go but I know that you’re with me. I know that my life is in your hands. I trust that you are for me, not against me. Please fill me with your peace that surpasses all understanding. Please bless the journey ahead. Please show Yourself strong on my behalf.

In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.

Feeling worried?

“This is why I tell you: Don’t worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the sky: They don’t sow or reap or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you worth more than they? Can any of you add a single cubit to his height by worrying?”
‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭25‬-‭27‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

Dear God,

I am so worried. I am stressed out about so many things. It feels like all my mind can think about is my problems. I can’t see a way out of my predicament. Please help me to quiet my soul. Please help me to see just how much you care for me. I know that even the breath that I have in my lungs is sustained by you and your love for me. Help me to cast all of my burdens onto you, for I know that you care.

In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.

Feeling discouraged on your healing journey?

"This is what the Lord says: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast number, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. You do not have to fight this battle. Position yourselves, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord. He is with you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid or discouraged. Tomorrow, go out to face them, for Yahweh is with you.’ ””
‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭20‬:‭15‬, ‭17‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

Dear God,

I am struggling to see the light at the end of this tunnel. Healing feels so impossible to me. I don't have the strength to keep going on this journey. I am disheartened. Please have mercy on me. Uphold me with your mighty hand and give me strength for each day. Help me to be still and know that YOU are God and that you're fighting on my behalf. Thank you that you are with me even if I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. Thank you that I can depend on you.

In Jesus Name, Amen.

Feeling downcast?

“Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭42‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Dear God,

My tears have been many. My soul is in despair. You are fortress and in you I run to hide. You are my deliverer and my savior. Breathe new life over me. I take shelter in you. Hide me in the shadow of your wings. Brood over me. Turn your face towards me and have compassion on me. Lift your countenance upon me and give me peace.

In Jesus Name, Amen

Feeling anxious about your health?

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
‭‭-Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Dear God,

My mind is full of "what ifs." I keep playing the same worst case scenarios over and over in my head. My thoughts are consuming me. Please heal my mind. I know that not only can you calm my mind but you can completely re-wire it. Please help me to take my thoughts captive. Help me to put on the helmet of salvation and to resist any fiery darts Satan throws at my mind. By your power I cast down all imaginations, I demolish every argument and every defeating thought. I consecrate my mind to you. My mind belongs to You alone. Help me to meditate on Your truth. Help me to meditate on what is pure, lovely, commendable, and worthy of praise. Remind me of your goodness in my life. Thank you for all the ways you have been faithful to me. Thank you for your love towards me. 



In Jesus Name, Amen

Feeling hopeless?

“But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.”
‭‭Lamentations‬ ‭3‬:‭21‬-‭25‬ ‭ESV‬‬


Dear God,

Even my words fail me. I am full of despair. I can't see how my health situation can get any better. I've been dealing with this for so long. I've tried so many different things and I still haven't found the results that I seek. I feel like just giving up. I feel like there's no point of trying anymore. I need you Lord. Please renew my strength. I know that you're able to heal me. Please renew my faith in you. Please help me in the waiting.

In Jesus Name, Amen.

Feeling sad?

“When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.”
‭‭-Psalm‬ ‭34‬:‭17‬-‭19‬ ‭ESV‬‬


Dear God,

My heart is heavy. I am weighed down by my circumstances. Please help me to take my eyes off my circumstances and focus on your promises. Help me to magnify you and not my problems. May I find strength in your joy. Please turn my mourning into dancing and singing.  Hear my cry oh Lord and lead me to the rock that is higher than I. I put my trust in you. Anoint me with the oil of gladness.

In Jesus Name, Amen.

 

Feeling helpless?

“fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you.””
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭41‬:‭10‬, ‭13‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Dear God,

I desperately need your help right now. I am at the end of my rope. I am so overwhelmed by everything going on and I don't see a way out. I feel alone and defeated. I don't have the strength to keep going. I need to feel your presence with me. Please show me that you're with me. Please carry me through, day by day, moment by moment. I cast myself upon you. Please uphold me.

In Jesus Name, Amen.
