In times of emotional, mental, or physical

hardship, it's easy to feel hopeless and like
things will never get better. Sometimes,
untangling yourself from these spiraling
thoughts can be a confusing and difficult
process. But it is important to remember
that you are not alone and there are steps
you can take to heal and find peace and
strength once again. One way to approach
this process is to read or say aloud a
healing prayer. Whether the obstacle you
are facing relates to your health, work,
family, relationship, or something else,
prayer can provide comfort during the
healing process.

Reading or reciting these prayers to

yourself or a loved one won't be the
solution to the problem you are currently
up against. You may need to pursue other
paths such as speaking to a professional to
address the underlying problem. Recovery
looks different for everyone, but healing
prayers can provide comfort in a time
when you need it most. The Covid-19
pandemic is one ongoing hardship that has
impacted most everyone's mental and
emotional wellbeing, especially when it
comes to grief, loss, and pain. Healing
words and prayers for the sick can offer
strength and help alleviate some of the
loneliness and isolation that many have
felt (and continue to feel) throughout the
pandemic.

If you have a friend or family member who

is going through a hardship, you can also
share these healing prayers with them.
Keeping them in your thoughts and
prayers can bring them peace, just as
reading prayers for healing can give you
strength.

Patience in Sickness

Lord Jesus Christ, by your patience in

suffering you hallowed earthly pain and
gave us the example of obedience to your
Father's will. Be near me in my time of
weakness and pain; sustain me by your
grace, that my strength and courage may
not fail; heal me according to your will;
and help me always to believe that what
happens to me here is of little account if
you hold me in eternal life, my Lord and
my God. Amen.
