Prayers for Revival – Healing
Inspired by Isaiah 35 -
O God, who causes the wilderness and the dry land to rejoice, and whose very presence makes the desert blossom and burst into song: let that same power for the restoration of life overflow with compassion through your people, making the bodies of those sick well, those injured whole, those impaired strong, and those imperiled sound, that amidst the wilderness of this present age, streams might break forth in the desert, causing your creational intent for the experience of human life to rise to its fullest expression, through Jesus the Messiah, your Son, our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.
Inspired by 1 Corinthians 15, 2 Corinthians 5 and Revelation 21:
Creator God, by raising your Son from the dead, you have caused the firstfruits of the resurrection to burst into flower: even now, by the exceeding greatness of that same power, grant your Church to be the righteousness of God in Him, agents of your restorative presence, bringing freedom and healing to bodies oppressed by the powers of Sin and Death, that as the very Body of the resurrected Lord, we might bear witness to your triumph over darkness, testifying to the day when death will be vanquished in victory, and crying, mourning, sorrow and pain will forever cease, through Jesus the Messiah, your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
Inspired by Isaiah 61 and John 20:
God of tenderness and patience, whose Son was anointed by the Spirit to bind up the brokenhearted and make the wounded whole: let this ministry never be lacking in Your Church but rather let it abound through your gracious favor, that we, being conformed to the image of Your Son, being sent as he was sent and indeed doing greater works than he, may see signs of your Kingdom’s nearness as lives are restored in anticipation of the new creation of all things, through Jesus the Messiah, your Son our Lord…
