Biblically speaking, we know Jesus came to bring healing and freedom, starting with the salvation of our souls. Our prayer focus this week is going to be on healing. Everybody needs healing from God and there are different types of healing: that of the soul (emotional and psychological), that of the body, and that of the spirit.
Before getting started, separate a time of day that you can use to direct your prayer to God without distractions. Each day of the week, we are going to focus on a specific area of our lives. Here are the themes for us this week:
MONDAY
Personal Healing
Matthew 5:23-24: “So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.”
Prayer
The need for forgiveness is essential to healing. Many of us are burdened by carrying bitterness against others. It is important to ask God to forgive and heal you. Your prayer today should focus on God bringing healing to your emotions, your body, and your spirit.
TUESDAY
Finances
Philippians 4:19-20: “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20 To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.”
Prayer
Take time to pray that God would provide financially. Ask Him to give you the wisdom to make wise decisions regarding money so you can become a good steward of your finances.
WEDNESDAY
Family
Acts 16:31: “And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
Prayer
Pray for your family members, starting with your immediate family, and especially for those that are not saved. Ask Him to heal family that is sick.
THURSDAY
Church
James 5:14-15: “Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.”
Prayer
Pray for healing for your Church, especially for those who are suffering from emotional and physical illness.
FRIDAY
Leaders
I Timothy 2:1-2: “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2 for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.”
Prayer
Pray that God will continue to impart wisdom to your Church and Government leaders. Pray specifically for your pastor and all those in positions of leadership. Also, pray for the different ministries and their respective leaders.
SATURDAY
Co-workers/Classmates
Matthew 5:14-16: “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
Prayer
Pray for your co-workers and/or classmates, asking that God would save and heal them. Ask God to use you to be a light unto them.
SUNDAY
Lost Souls
Colossians 4:6: “Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.”
Prayer
Pray for salvation of the lost souls that are around us. Ask God to give you grace to be able to speak to lost souls. Pray that He would open doors of opportunity to bring others the greatest healing a person can receive; the salvation of their soul.
