Prayers For the Sick and Making Those Prayers

When you are in a place where you have to pray for the sick, you are going to have many thoughts that are going to cross your mind. I know for me that sometimes when I am in the worst phase of sickness, I can be praying the prayer of the Lord for my loved ones. So, what do I do when I am ready to pray for my sick loved ones?

The first thing that I need to do is that I am going to have to get up and make myself comfortable. The last thing that I want to do is to sit down and not be able to move properly. Sometimes when you are in pain and you cannot sit still, you need to make sure that you are able to move. When you are able to move around, you will be able to move more freely and you will be able to feel better when you are praying for your sick loved ones.

The next thing that you are going to want to do is write out the exact words that you are going to say when you are making your prayer request. This may seem like it is not that important, but it really is. If you don't have a list, you are not going to be able to remember when you are making your prayer request. So, I always suggest that you make a list when you are ready to start making a prayer for the sick person that you care about or the people you care about if you are a pastor.

When you are ready to start making that prayer for the sick person that you love, you will be able to do it with peace and not worry about saying the wrong thing. You will find that by using peace in your voice, you are going to be able to reach a lot more people than if you were to worry about how you are going to say the prayer. Everyone has a different way that they think and they talk when they feel like they need to talk. By using peace in your voice, you will be able to put those thoughts into words and you will be able to pray for the sick person that you love.

Remember that when you are making a prayer for the sick person that you have chosen, you must give thanks for all that the sick person has been given. Remember all that He does for you and others. It is best to come from a place of thankfulness. It is also important that you know that your prayer request has been heard. Your prayers are always heard. He understands what you are doing and that He is willing to provide whatever it takes to bring this person back to good health as long as it is within His plan for your and their life. You should also mention that you love that person. You would love to hug or kiss them if only you could if that is not possible in that situation. Thank you is very important when you make a prayer request for someone that is sick. Remember every day is a gift. You should try to act like you are aware of that fact.

It may seem like we are going to spend a lot of time making prayer requests for sick people, but the truth is, prayer requests for sick people should not take up a lot of time at all. Once you get the basics down, you can pretty much get away with making just one prayer request every day to the Lord for their healing. Remember that you are only human and that you can't always know what is going on with a person's health unless you ask them. It is also important to remember that prayer for the sick person is not about pleading with God for them but rather, from the inside out.
