A Prayer for Healing and Recovery
When your body is weak, or someone close to you lies in a hospital bed, prayer becomes both most urgent and most difficult. Beyond a single plea to be made well, it's hard to know what else to say.
A prayer for healing is not about rushing the outcome, but asking for presence through every part of recovery. Even when no improvement is yet visible, you place that moment in the hands of the One who tends what is broken. The prayer and verses below hold a heart that longs for restoration.

A Short Prayer for Health
