– Prayers for Healing for a Friend –

Sometimes, the sorrows we feel are not directly from us. If we are blessed with good friends, there is nothing that affects them that will not also affect us. Thus, we find ourselves often saying prayers of healing for a friend who is having one issue or another.

Prayers for healing for a friend show our deep concern for the wellbeing of our friends. It is not wise that we should watch our friends suffer without at least saying some words of prayers for healing for such a friend. Obviously, there are times when we are incapable of doing any tangible thing to help an ailing friend.

However, we can always say prayers for healing for a friend at all times. Irrespective of whether we have other supports to offer or not, making intense prayers for healing for a friend is a nice gesture.

Accordingly, to assist you with the choice of words and pattern of presentation, there are special prayers for healing for a friend listed out in this article.
