Prayers for a Sick Person
Heavenly Father,
There are several types of prayers that you can pray on behalf of a sick person. You may want to consider developing a prayer for a sick person asking God for the Holy Spirit to come down on that person and either heal them or provide them with a sense of comfort that they may be missing.
My prayer request for the sick is for ____. She/He went in to get surgery for a removal of a brain tumor. She/He is currently in icu due to have seizures, and issues with her/his lungs. Please pray that she/he fully recovers from everything that is going on in her body.
In Jesus name, Amen!
Prayer for a Person Who Needs Surgery
Do you or your loved one need to go through surgery in a way to remove whatever illness is present? If so, then a prayer request for successful surgery can implore God to give your surgical team the guidance and the steady hand that they need to accomplish the goals of that surgery.
Lord, I come before you today I need your healing power to heal – that I may recover from a successful surgery. I beg for your mercy oh Lord to give me the patience and endurance to surpass all the pain she is having right now. I pray to you most gracious and almighty God that I may get better and will be back on her normal life.
In Jesus mighty name I pray amen.

Prayer for a Sick Person in the Hospital
Do you have a loved one who is in the final stages of their earthly life? In most cases, it’s likely that this person will be in a hospital where they can receive the around the clock care that they truly need as they make the transition toward being with God. Therefore, a prayer for a sick person in the hospital can act as a powerful plea to God so that this person does not suffer and they can prepare themselves in some way to be part of God’s heavenly kingdom. Keep in mind that your prayers can not only include a prayer for a person who is sick but they can also include a prayer for the family of a sick person as well as a prayer for strength in general for the loved ones that may be suffering as a result of an impending loss.
