In times of emotional or physical hardship, it's easy to feel hopeless; to feel like things will never get better. But, as the Bible says, "with God all things are possible." So when you do come up against obstacles in life — with your health, your work, your relationships, or something else — taking a moment to sit and say of prayer for healing can help.

No, it won’t be the solution to the problems you face. But saying a healing prayer can provide comfort in a time when you need it most. (You can also try reciting some healing Bible verses for a little extra comfort. ) Of course, the prayers don’t have to be said for you. If you know someone who is going through a hardship, keeping them in your thoughts and healing prayers can bring them peace as well.
