Praying For Health

Praying For Health

With winter in full swing, sicknesses such as colds, flus, RSV, COVID and more are making their seasonal rounds. As Christians, I believe we are to pray in faith for health, healing and even protection against sickness. The words of the apostle John come to mind. In 3 John 1:2 (NIV), he writes: “Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.” What if we chose to be a praying friend just like the beloved disciple was? Let’s lift up not only ourselves, but our families, church communities, classmates, coworkers and others the Holy Spirit places on your heart. Prayer always makes a difference, and it just might keep you and others healthy this winter. Now that’s something to pray about!
