INTENTION
Protection of Health and Healing.
MEDITATION
(Isaiah 53:5) - But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds, we are healed.
O Lord, in contemplating Your sacrifice, we seek healing for our bodies, minds, and spirits. Your wounds are the source of our restoration, and we place our health in Your capable hands. May Your healing power flow through us, mending every brokenness and bringing peace to our innermost being.
If you’re like me, you worry about your family’s health and safety. You worry about someone you love contracting a disease or being influenced by the wrong people. You feel overwhelmed because even when you pray, you wonder….
Do my prayers for protection of my family make any difference? Are my prayers powerful enough to change the present or the future? Does God want to hear them?
Yes. A thousand times yes. A prayer of protection is merely a request for God’s sovereignty in your life. We can’t manipulate God into protecting us—in fact, we don’t have to because we are always in the palm of his hand, if we are his children (John 10:28-29).
While we often pray for safe travel, relationships, and influences over our family members, God has already promised us his protection in Scripture. It’s God’s nature to protect and cherish.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended you. I detest all my sins because of your just punishments, but most of all because they offend you, my God, who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of your grace, to sin no more and to avoid the occasions of sin. Amen.
Come Holy Spirit
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.
O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.
The Lord's Prayer
Our Father, Who art in heaven, allowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day oudaily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not Into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
DAY - 2 NOVENA PRAYERS
Lord Jesus, Divine Healer, we humbly come before You, acknowledging the depth of Your sacrifice for our well-being. As we navigate the complexities of our health, we lean on Your promise of healing. Touch us, Lord, with Your restoring hand. Heal our physical ailments, strengthen our minds, and bring peace to our troubled hearts. May our bodies be temples of Your Holy Spirit, radiating with the wholeness that comes from You. In Your mercy, grant us the grace to endure any health challenges, knowing that Your healing love is our constant companion. Amen
A Prayer for Family Health and Protection
Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.” (James 4:14)
Lord, I ask for your powerful hand of healing in my family today. I ask for you to bring us healing and protection from disease and sickness. Lord, we pray for protection from illness and infirmity for each member of our family. Shield us from harm, both known and unknown, and keep us safe from the dangers that may surround us. Grant us the strength and resilience to face any health challenges that may come our way, knowing that you are our refuge and our strength. I will trust you and praise you no matter what happens, but I ask for you to protect us and transform us so that we trust whatever you allow into our lives. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
