All people go through trauma, anguish, and suffering. Many of us seek a method of self-healing when this occurs. Christians think one method to overcome sorrow and suffering in our lives is through the Lutheran prayer for healing. Its name, the “Lutheran” prayer for healing, and the fact that people of all various Christian denominations can pray make it a well-known prayer. Regardless of your religious affiliation or denomination, if you’ve experienced hurt in your life, you might find this prayer to be a valuable addition to your toolkit of spiritual exercises. Do you know what “Lutheran prayers” and “brief prayers for healing and recovery” are? Find out more about it now.

Heavenly Father,

we come before you with our hurts and our pains.

We are hurting, we are suffering, we are in pain.

We have been wounded by the world, by others, by ourselves.

We have been hurt in ways both small and great.

We have been wounded by words that have been spoken against us; we have been wounded by actions that were done to us.

We have been hurt by people who did not love us as much as they should have; we have been hurt by people we loved who did not love us enough in return.

Lord God almighty, hear our prayer today! Hear our cry for healing! Heal our wounds and ease our pain! Give us strength to get up each morning and face another day without fear of what might happen next week or next month or next year—without fear that tomorrow will be worse than yesterday because now everything is broken and can never be fixed again.

But Lord God almighty, you are able to heal all things broken—it’s true! You can restore what has been destroyed; you can make whole what has been shattered beyond repair.

Lutheran Prayer For Healing

Introduction

These prayers are meant to help those who are suffering from illness or injury, along with others who care for them. If you’ve recently been diagnosed with an injury or illness, you may pray for healing in a variety of ways depending on your beliefs and background. Maybe you’ve never said a church prayer before and don’t know where to start, but praying for healing can be very powerful if you do it the right way. To make things simple, the following prayers are meant to assist you in different ways.

A Prayer for Healing

A prayer for healing is a prayer that asks God to help you feel better or to make someone else feel better. If you’re sick or hurt, it can be hard to even pray at all—you might not think your prayers will be heard. But remember that when we ask God for help and guidance, He pays attention—and His desire is always to make us whole and healthy in body and soul.

When you pray for another person who is sick or dying, your prayers show them that someone cares about them; this helps people feel less alone in their pain. When we are suffering ourselves with illness or chronic pain (or any other kind of distress), our spiritual life becomes especially important; praying with others can give us strength as well as provide comfort for those around us who are hurting too!

A Prayer for a Sick Child

“O God, you are the God of all comfort and consolation. Our hearts are heavy today with sadness as we face the serious illness of our child. We know that your hand will be upon ____ (name), and we trust in your mercy and goodness.”

Prayer for a sick child who is not expected to live:

“O God, you have promised that all things work together for good for those who love you; may this be so for our child. Give him/her strength and courage, even if he/she does not live long on this earth. Help us to accept what has happened as part of your will, dear Lord; give us peace even in the midst of our pain.”

Prayer for a sick child who is expected to live but is suffering from a terminal illness:

“Father God, we ask mercy upon our little one today. Please heal his/her body according to your divine plan so that he/she may serve you with joy all the days of his/her life here on earth.”

A Prayer for Those Who Wait in the Presence of Death

This prayer is for those who wait in the presence of death.

It’s for those who are sick, or in pain, or dying—and for their loved ones.

It’s for those who have lost a loved one to death—and for their loved ones.

It’s also a prayer of hope and joy, even though it is often said at funerals when there is much sorrow and grief. This prayer has been said by Christians throughout the ages and across many lands as they gathered to worship God together and seek comfort from his Word during times of death and loss.

A Prayer for the Bereaved on the Death of a Loved One

When you lose a loved one, you’re not alone. The Lutheran Church has prayers for the bereaved and on other special occasions, such as baptism, confirmation, and marriage. The example below is a prayer for those who are grieving the death of someone close to them:

God, our Father in heaven, we thank you that even though death has entered our world with its sorrows and pains, it does not have the last word. Christ has risen from the grave! We pray for all those who are suffering in body or spirit; may we be reminded that there is hope beyond this life; may we see glimpses of God’s love as it enables us to go forward with confidence into tomorrow. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen

The Lord’s Prayer

The Lord’s Prayer is a prayer taught by Jesus. It has been practiced for centuries, in many different languages and cultures. The Lord’s Prayer is a prayer of the Christian faith and its use is widespread among Protestants, Catholics, Orthodox Christians, and other Christian denominations. This prayer can be used by anyone regardless of religious affiliation or lack thereof.

The Lord’s Prayer was given to us by God to teach us how we should pray: “Our Father which art in heaven…hallowed be thy name…thy kingdom come…thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven…give us this day our daily bread…forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us…lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil (Matthew 6:9-13).
