Prayers for Healing

Until you lay alone in a hospital bed, no one truly knows how vital prayers can be to mental, physical, and spiritual health. While people will often say that they are praying for you, they are far less likely to pray with you. Many people simply don't know what to say or where to start when praying for someone who is seriously ill. In this brief booklet, Eva Juliuson helps to rediscover one of our most powerful resources. She specifically addresses the nuts and bolts of healing ministry by examining why we should pray for healing and how we should go about it effectively. Then she offers a healing service with prayers and Bible readings that is an excellent template for pastors and laypersons to use in church services, the home, a hospital, or a nursing home. Her approach lends itself equally well to use by a whole congregation or just one or two individuals.
