A Prayer for a Sick Family Member

Loving Father, I come to You for my family member who is sick. You see their pain and weakness, and You care for them more than I ever could.

Lay Your healing hand upon them, Lord. Ease their suffering, calm their fears, and give rest to their weary body. Guide the hands of every doctor and nurse who cares for them.

Comfort our whole family as we watch and wait. Fill our home with peace, and help us carry one another in love and patience.

I place my loved one in Your keeping, trusting Your mercy and goodness, in Jesus' name, Amen.

When to Pray This

Pray this when a loved one in your family is unwell, whether at home or in the hospital. You can whisper it at the bedside or quietly on your own. Let it steady your heart as you keep trusting God and caring for them.
