Within the last year, more than a few of my family members and friends have survived serious medical conditions. This prayer is dedicated to them and all people seeking physical healing.
IN THOSE days Hezekiah became deadly ill. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz came and said to him, Thus says the Lord: Set your house in order, for you shall die; you shall not recover. Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord, saying, I beseech You, O Lord, [earnestly] remember now how I have walked before You in faithfulness and truth and with a whole heart [entirely devoted to You] and have done what is good in Your sight. And Hezekiah wept bitterly. Before Isaiah had gone out of the middle court, the word of the Lord came to him: Turn back and tell Hezekiah, the leader of My people, Thus says the Lord, the God of David your [forefather]: I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; behold, I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord. I will add to your life fifteen years and deliver you and this city [Jerusalem] out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for My own sake and for My servant David's sake. And Isaiah said, Bring a cake of figs. Let them lay it on the burning inflammation, that he may recover. Hezekiah said to Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the Lord will heal me and that I shall go up into the house of the Lord on the third day? And Isaiah said, This is the sign to you from the Lord that He will do the thing He has promised: shall the shadow [denoting the time of day] go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps? Hezekiah answered, It is an easy matter for the shadow to go forward ten steps; so let the shadow go back ten steps. So Isaiah the prophet cried to the Lord, and He brought the shadow the ten steps backward by which it had gone down on the sundial of Ahaz. (2 Kings 20:1-11, AMP).
Dear God:
I give thanks that You hear the cries of Your people. I praise You for being a healer! I exalt You for being a promise-keeper!
God, I confess not all that I do, say and think is holy. Help me to "never tire of doing what is good." (2 Thessalonians 3:13, NIV). I have a willingness to devote my heart to You, O God, so please increase my desire to live in a manner that is exemplary of Your gracious character.
Today, I pray for those in need of physical healing. I know from personal experience how You can heal instantly and over an extended period of time. Regardless of the duration, You are in control! Regardless of the physical condition, You have the remedy!
O Sovereign God, someone is in need of Your diagnosis today. Touch them with Your curative hands. When a terminal illness is detected, move them to a posture of prayer. Open their mouths to recite Hezekiah’s request of You. Let the tears they weep serve as release from all pain, grief and bitterness they are experiencing. Visit their locale and speak Your assurance to them, O God: I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; behold, I will heal you. (2 Kings 20:5, AMP).
I ask that your Holy Spirit permeate the atmosphere at all medical care facilities and places of restoration. Bless all doctors, nurses, technicians, rehabilitation therapists, and caregivers with Your power—let them be willing instruments of healing and prompt them to apply their expertise to perform miracles, O God.

Life is challenging because sometimes we are afflicted with diseases. Life is good because You hear our prayers, see our tears, and deliver us from maladies. Life is abundant because by Jesus' stripes we are healed and made whole. (Isaiah 53:5, AMP).
You are Yahweh Rophe (The Lord Who Heals) and I extend my sincere gratitude for the healings of the past and the present! I give thanks to You for remission in the future. Continue to strengthen my faith, so I “just believe” in Your health report. (Mark 5:36, NIV).
In the life-sustaining, life-extending name of Jesus, I pray…AMEN.
