Prayers for the Sick

Lord Jesus, I lift up [Name] to You and ask for Your healing touch upon them.

You know every detail of their illness. You see their suffering, their fear, their weariness. Nothing is hidden from Your sight, and nothing is beyond Your power.

Lay Your healing hands upon [Name]. Touch their body with Your power. Restore health to every part that is not functioning as You designed. Drive away this sickness according to Your will.

Comfort them in their suffering. Give them patience in this trial. Help them to feel Your presence, especially in the darkest moments. Remind them that they are not alone.

Give wisdom and skill to their doctors and nurses. Guide every treatment decision. Let healing come swiftly and completely, if it be Your will.

Lord, whatever the outcome, let [Name] experience Your love and peace. Strengthen their faith through this trial. And give those who care for them grace to serve with compassion.

Mary, health of the sick, pray for [Name]. Amen.

Lord, I lift up [Name] who is battling cancer. This disease is frightening, and the treatment is hard. Be with them through every moment.

We ask that You would stop the cancer from spreading. Shrink the tumors. Heal the damage. Let the treatments be effective and the side effects be minimal.

St. Peregrine, patron of cancer patients, intercede for [Name]. You experienced the miraculous healing of your own cancer. Ask Jesus to grant that same mercy to [Name].

Give [Name] hope when they feel hopeless, strength when they feel weak, peace when they feel afraid. Surround them with love and support.

We trust in Your love, Lord, whatever comes. Amen.

Lord, [Name] is facing surgery, and we ask for Your presence in the operating room.

Guide the surgeon's hands with perfect precision. Give the entire medical team clarity, focus, and skill. Let nothing go wrong. Bring the operation to a successful conclusion.

Calm [Name]'s fears. Give them peace as they go under anesthesia, knowing they are in Your hands—hands that have counted every hair on their head and know every cell of their body.

Grant a smooth recovery with minimal pain and no complications. Restore [Name] to full health quickly.

St. Raphael, angel of healing, be present in that room. Guardian angel of [Name], watch over them. We entrust [Name] to You, Lord. Amen.

Lord, [Name] lives every day with chronic illness. The suffering is not dramatic, but it is constant. The weariness is real.

We ask that You would grant them daily strength. Help them to manage their symptoms. Give them good days among the difficult ones. Don't let them lose hope.

If healing is in Your plan, we ask for it. But if this is a thorn that will remain, give [Name] the grace to bear it well. Let their faithfulness in suffering witness to Your grace.

Help those around [Name] to understand what they're going through. Give family and friends patience and compassion. Never let [Name] feel like a burden.

We unite [Name]'s suffering with the Cross of Christ, trusting that nothing is wasted in Your kingdom. Amen.
