Prayer for a
Miracle
God of all creation, you
who spoke a simple command and brought forth light from
the darkness, I ask you now to send forth your
miracle-working power to heal (name). You cleansed the lepers,
opened the eyes of the blind and by
speaking a simple
command, you empowered the crippled to rise up and walk.
You sent forth your
life-giving power to all those in need, including those you
raised from
the dead. I ask you to send forth your healing
power into their body and give them the strength to fight
their illness. I ask this through my Lord, Jesus Christ, your

Dear Lord,
I need you

Please carry them for me so
that I don’t have to.
Replace them with your humble and
gentle yoke so that I will find rest for my soul
today. I
receive your gift of peace of mind and heart.
Thank you that I can lie
down tonight in peace and sleep. I know that you, Lord, will
keep me safe. I am not afraid because you are always with
me.
Please keep me daily, Lord, in your perfect peace.
Amen

always proclaim Your praise. Teach me to reach out to You in
my need, and help

Prayer for Hearing
Problems
Be at Peace Do not look
forward in fear to the changes of life;
rather look to
them with full hope as they arise.
God, whose very own you
are, will deliver you from out of them.
He has kept you hitherto,
and He will lead you safely through all things; and when you
cannot stand it, God will bury you in his arms.
Do not fear what may happen
tomorrow; the same everlasting Father who cares for you today
will take care of you then and everyday.
He will either shield you
from suffering, or will give you unfailing strength to bear
it.
Be at peace, and put aside
all anxious thoughts and imagination

Psalm for the
Sick
O Lord, in your anger
punish me not; in your wrath chastise me not. For your arrows
have sunk deep in me; your hand has come down upon me.
There is no health in my
flesh because of your
indignation; there is no wholeness in my bones because of my
sin. For my iniquities have overwhelmed me; they are like
a heavy burden, beyond my
strength. Noisome and festering
are my sores, because of my folly. I am stooped and
bowed
down profoundly; all the day I go in mourning. For my loins
are filled with
burning pains; there is no health in my
flesh. I am numbed and severely crushed; I
roar with
anguish of heart. O Lord, all my desire is before you; from
you my
groaning is not hid. My heart throbs, my strength
forsakes me; the very light of my
eyes has failed me. For
I am very near to falling; and my grief is with me always.
Indeed, I acknowledge my guilt; I grieve over my sins.
Forsake me not, O Lord,; my
God be not far from me! Make
haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation. Let me know, O
Lord, my end and what is the number of my days, that I may
learn how frail I am. A
short span you have made my days,
and my life is as nought before you; only a
breath is any
human existence. Hear my prayer, O Lord, to my cry give ear;
to my
weeping be not deaf! For I am but a wayfarer before
you, a pilgrim like all my
fathers. Turn you gaze from me
that I may find respite, ere I depart and be no more.
Taken from Psalms 37 and
38

Healing Prayer of
Isaiah
Precious Lord Jesus, I
thank you for your enduring love. You came into the world to
set me free from the power of darkness. You embraced a
violent death on the cross
to pay the penalty on my
behalf. You suffered the scourging at the pillar, taking
the sickness of humanity upon your own flesh, so that I
could be healed.
I come before you now to
place all my sin upon your cross and ask for your precious
blood to wash me clean. I place the penalty for my
sinfulness, all my sickness,
diseases and infirmities upon
your cross, and for the sake of your sorrowful
passion, I
ask to be set free. I accept your sacrifice and receive your
gift of
reconciliation. I confess your Lordship over every
aspect of my life, heart, mind,
body, soul and spirit.
Through the power of your
cross Lord Jesus, I now resist all forms of sin, sickness
and disease. I say to all forms of sickness and disease
caused by my own
disobedience, that you are not God’s good
and perfect will for my life, and I
enforce the power of
the cross upon you right now.
By the shed blood of the
Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I command all forms of
sickness and disease to leave my presence immediately.
Jesus bore my infirmities.
He was wounded for my
transgressions. By his stripes I have been healed. No
sickness, pain, death, fear or addiction shall ever lord
over me again. The penalty
has been paid in full. I have
been ransomed and redeemed, sanctified and set free.
Amen.
---------------------
Prayer for
Ailments
O Immaculate Virgin Mary,
Mother of Mercy, you are the refuge of sinners, the
health
of the sick, and the comfort of the afflicted. You know my
wants, my
troubles, my sufferings. By your appearance at
the Grotto of Lourdes you made it
a privileged sanctuary
where your favors are given to people streaming to it
from
the whole world. Over the years countless sufferers
have obtained the cure for
their infirmities -- whether of
soul, mind, or body. Therefore I come to you with
limitless
confidence to implore your motherly intercession. Obtain, O
loving
Mother, the grant of my requests. Through gratitude
for Your favors, I will
endeavor to imitate Your virtues,
that I may one day share in Your glory.
Amen.
------------------
Prayer After an
Accident
O Lord my God and Savior,
You rule over all things; You are my physician and comfort in
sickness; You deliver me from pain. You stretched forth your
hand to save your apostle Peter as he was sinking in water.
Grant now your merciful aid to me and heal my injuries. And as
I trustingly call on You, + restore me to health in your
loving kindness. O long-suffering Lord, show me your
compassion and mercy that I may glorify your divine power and
bless your holy Name, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, now and
ever and forever. Amen.

Prayer
for Lung Cancer
O great St. Peregrine, you
have been called “The Mighty,” “The Wonder-Worker,” because of
the numerous miracles which you have obtained
rom God for
those who have had recourse to you.
For so many years you bore
in your own flesh this cancerous disease that destroys the
very fibre of our being, and who had recourse to the source of
all grace when the power of man could do no more. You were
favoured with the vision of Jesus coming down from His Cross
to heal your affliction. Ask of God and Our Lady, the cure of
the sick whom we entrust to you.
Aided in this way by your
powerful intercession, we shall sing to God, now and for all
eternity, a song of gratitude for His great goodness and
mercy.
Amen.
