How To Pray for Healing

Before you pray, it’s important to remember a few things, first if you have not asked Jesus to live inside your heart and for the forgiveness of your sins, then you need to do that.

Next, thank Jesus in advance for what you believe he is going to do. Thank him in advance for the speedy recovery process. Believe that he is going to heal your friend or family member!

Finally, ask him what you need. Jesus says we do not have because we do not ask! Have faith that Jesus is answering your prayers!
