Preaching on Healing and Prayer
Dear brothers and sisters, today we have come together in faith, carrying our hopes and our struggles before the Lord. Life is not always easy. There are days of sickness, days of pain, and days when our hearts feel heavy with burdens we cannot carry alone.
But in those very moments, we are reminded of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—the God who never leaves us, who hears every cry, and who knows every tear that falls. He is the God who heals, the God who restores, and the God who comforts His people.
Jewish Prayer For Recovery
Today, as we reflect and lift up these 50 prayers for healing, we do so with trust in His mercy and His unfailing love. These prayers, deeply rooted in our tradition, remind us that the healing of God is not just for the body—it is for the soul, for the spirit, for families, for communities, and even for nations.
So I invite you, dear friends, let us open our hearts fully to Him. Let us believe that He is walking beside us in every trial. As we pray, let us trust that His healing power is already at work in ways we may not see.
Let’s come together in faith, in unity, and in prayer, believing that the God who was faithful yesterday will be faithful again today.
Let us pray.
