Pray in the Powerful Name of Jesus

As Christians, we understand that the power of prayer must precede everything. Healing prayers are vitally important for the life of a loved one – especially a dear mother.

Jesus is our power source: “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me” (Matthew 28:18). So with confidence and peace of mind, we pray in the name of the Lord.

Prayer enables us to ask Almighty God in Jesus’ holy name to take control of this time of illness. So we start by asking the Great Physician to positively influence the hands of the medical people for the best way to care for Mom and her speedy recovery.

Our gracious God cares for us all the time, but most especially in our time of need for physical healing. At the same time, our merciful God has given us free will to determine what we want for ourselves.

God is a gentleman and does not intrude into our affairs if we do not want him to. In fact, Scripture says, “You have not because you ask not” (James 4:2-3). So we trust His loving arms every step of the way.

What to Say to a Sick Mother

So often we believe we have to have wise words to say when someone is sick – especially our mothers. However, there is something called the “ministry of presence” that is often even more powerful than words. Let me explain.

Think back to a time when you were sick or in a similar situation of pain, healing, and recovery. Chances are the love of God showed up powerfully when a loved one simply showed up just to be with you. Their presence brought joy, compassion, and the feeling that you were not alone.

When I have been sick, the strength of my heart is not only Jesus and His Word, but my family or a dear friend who simply showed up. As your Mom is sick, the ministry of presence would be an incredible blessing to you.

What do you say to your sick Mom? I love you. I am here for you. I am praying for you. We will get through this together. Those are healing words!

Lord and Friend, I ask that you renew Mom’s health today through a successful operation in such a remarkable way that no one can take glory for it but You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Dear Father, you have brought Mom to this point so that you can bring healing to her body. Guide the hands of the surgeon and medical staff to ensure a successful operation. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Pray Without Ceasing

He wants us to live a life of constant prayer. In fact, Scripture specifically tells us, “Pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Those moments when you are waiting in the doctor’s office provide great opportunities to talk with God.

Engaging in ongoing communication with Him as our closest friend. Such honest and open hearts enable us to build a strong relationship with Him. Over time, we learn to rely on Him for all our needs.

Silent prayers are just as effective as spoken prayers. God’s power resides in both, so if you are uncomfortable praying out loud or find yourself in a situation where you need to be silent, prayer is still possible.

The Bible is as true today as the days in which it was written. God is the healer of our souls and bodies, offering His resurrection life to bring healing, both physically and eternally.

God wants us to pray when things are going well and when they are going the other way. He wants us to pray about everything and never rely upon our efforts or abilities.

Why it is Important to Pray

Almighty God is the giver of life. As the Great Physician, only He can bring healing into anyone’s life.

Prayer intentionally brings the power of God into any situation. Although Jesus is always present, He will not barge into your life. He gently knocks and waits for you to open the door.

Intentional prayer also brings an acute awareness of His presence in your life. As you pray for certain people or situations, you will be able to discern how God is moving. That is a strong way to strengthen your faith!

God promises: “Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you” (Jeremiah 29:12). God is as close as our next breath and hears every word – both spoken and unspoken.

Some medical cases are not physical even though they may appear to be so. Some ailments can only be answered by prayers. Jesus said, “This kind will not go except by prayer and fasting” (Matthew 17:21, footnote).

Do Not Be Ignorant of Satan’s Devices

Scripture clearly warns us: “Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8, ESV).

That passage continues by letting us know what to do: “Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world” (1 Peter 5:9, ESV).

I wrote an entire 8-week Bible study on the armor of God called “Your Strong Suit” based on Ephesians 6:10-18. Understanding the defensive armor that God has provided emboldens us to fight the good fight with prayer leading the charge.

God has also given us the most powerful offensive weapon: “the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” (Ephesians 6:17).

In order to use that all-powerful, spiritual offensive weapon, we need to know God’s Word. Studying the Bible is key. Here are several Bible studies that can get you started.

Regularly reading through Scripture is also a powerful tool in your spiritual arsenal against attacks of the enemy. Set yourself the task of reading through the Bible by picking one of these Bible reading plans.

Bottom Line

Knowing God’s Word is key to an effective prayer life. As you read through Scripture, pick out some key Bible verses to share with your Mom as she recovers.

The most powerful healing prayer is to commit your life and the lives of your loved ones to God’s hands. Trusting Him above all is the most effective way to live a God-honoring life full of contentment and peace, despite any hard time that comes.

The goodness of the Lord and His higher power in your life are the greatest blessings that you will ever receive. He faithfully holds you in the palm of His mighty hand.
