This prayer is for people who have a serious illness or chronic condition, and the idea that “success” means to be completely cured doesn’t resonate with them (there can be enormous pressure to “heal” and it can feel like illness implies “failure”). So this prayer isn’t about praying to be cured, it’s about quality of life while living with an illness, and being able to define for oneself what “health” means (whatever that may look like).
You can modify this prayer to fit your own beliefs, person, or situation.
I offer this prayer for [Name]. I intend that my prayer is aligned with [Name]’s heart’s desire and highest good.
I affirm the truth of Eternal Divine Unconditional Love and its power to infuse, bless, outshine, and positively transform any apparent reality or condition. As I feel and breathe, in whole body resonance with faith and love, I release all sense of problem, concern, or limitation. From this place I envision this positive change for [Name].
[Name]’s life force is strong at all levels of their being—mind, body, emotion, and spirit. Their good days outnumber their challenging days. They can accomplish activities of daily living, and activities that bring them joy, within the ebb and flow of their energy levels and phasing of symptoms, either independently or with the assistance of kind and competent helpers.
The effects of the illness/condition are well managed through the least invasive, most benign, and most effective interventions possible. Side effects from treatments or medications are minimal and any pain or discomfort is tolerable. They are able to take in sufficient nourishment. [Name] is resilient, able to take changes in symptoms and treatment plans in stride.
[Name] can attune to a positive sense of wholeness and well-being that transcends their illness/condition. They have support to process their experiences and emotions. They have a sense of personal agency as they walk this path and feel empowered to make decisions about matters that concern them.
[Name] is supported by culturally competent doctors and other healers who treat patients with knowledge, skill, and compassion. All practical healthcare matters such as appointment scheduling, referrals, communications, insurance, transportation, and more, are handled easily and effectively.
[Name] has everything they need to nurture their whole self, including a harmonious living situation and loving companionship. They have enough money to cover all healthcare and living expenses. If employed, their employer is understanding and accommodating.
[Name] is at peace with the unknown, able to live in the moment and embrace the mystery each day brings.
So it is and so it will be.
