Personal Prayer
Praise God for being the great healer who gives real peace and security for you to enjoy (Jer. 33:6). Give thanks for the many miraculous healings that show God’s power at work. Confess your failure to appreciate the health God gives you and your complaining when things aren’t going well (Ps. 139:23). Commit yourself to praising God each day for a healthy body, for legs and arms, fingers and toes, eyes and ears—a body that functions so beautifully. Ask him for guidance in blessing him at all times even if these body parts aren’t always working right (Ps. 34:1).

For Your Family and Friends
Pray for family members and friends who are not experiencing good health. Praise him for accepting your prayers (Ps. 6:9).

For the Church
Pray for your church to be very compassionate and able to minister to those who do not experience good health, have disabilities, or have met with serious accident.

For the Kingdom
Pray for God’s kingdom to advance in meaningful ways as you seek new means to reach out to the “sin-sick” people of the world (Mt. 9:13).

For People to Know Jesus
Pray for the unsaved to see that “it is not the healthy who need a doctor but the sick” (9:12)—to see their “sick” condition and come to Jesus’ open arms of love.
