Examples of situations where healing prayer can be an effective help for individuals include:

  • Habitual sin

  • Persistently negative view of God or self

  • Chronic fear, anxiety or sadness

  • Stalled spiritual life

  • Anywhere in your life where you feel “stuck” and desire greater freedom

Healing Prayer does not replace the ordinary means of growth in the Christian life such as personal prayer and the Sacraments. It serves as an additional tool that addresses the specific spiritual influences that are frequently a part of any personal problem.
