My grandma has been in the hospital for almost 2 weeks now and will continue to be there for at least another 2 weeks for sure. She has a degenerative disease with her bones.. I'm not sure the name of it (too technical) haha.. also, she has a UTI (urinary tract infection). She is unable to walk right now and is very sore and in very much pain. She feels discouraged and depressed. She does not believe she'll ever get well again or come home. Although the doctors confirmed that she will return home, she has a very negative mind-set right now and is worried for herself as well as my grandpa. Understandable! I would like to bring her an uplifting prayer to boost her spirits. A prayer for the healing of the sick. We are Catholic.. Roman Catholic to be specific. Any prayers will do =) Thank you for your help! I appreciate it.

Not only have I asked the King of Kings to hear the prayers for healing, I'm also asking Him to wrap both your grandmother and grandfather in His love, to comfort them while they are away from home. I'm asking He give them both a peace in their heart where they remember they are not alone, that He walks through the storms of life with each of us.
And thank you as well.... for caring so much for your grandmother that you wanted to ask others to join in prayer for her. We'll be lifting her up to the King of King and placing our prayers before His throne.

Good luck with your grandmother. I'm sorry she is suffering so. She's lucky to have you. Someone once said that a healing always occurs in illness but it's not always the person we think is ill. It is also important to remember that death is but a transition phase to better things. Most important though is that whatever you pray be sure and add "thy (your) will, not mine (ours) be done" for prayer changes things and we don't always know what is for the best, only God does. So, for the prayers below I added that in. The first seems like one which a Catholic grandmother would appreciate. The second is supposedly Catholic but doesn't sound very "traditional" to me but is short. If you search under healing prayers you will find many more. See prayers below. You may also be interested in the miraculous Mary pendant, prayer, etc. http://www.stmarycctc.org/forms/prayer_e.pdf Make sure she has a Rosary with her if she doesn't so she can prayer the Rosary in her bed.
Lord Jesus, you came into the world
to heal our infirmities
and to endure our sufferings.
You went about healing all
and bringing comfort
to those in pain and need.
We come before you now
in this time of illness
asking that you may be the source
of our strength in body,
courage in spirit
and patience in pain.
May we join ourselves more closely
to you on the cross
and in your suffering
that through them
we may draw our patience and hope.
Assist us and restore us to health
so that united more closely
to your family, the Church,
we may give praise and honour to your name.
Thy will, not ours be done.
Amen.

Lord, look upon me (my grandmother) with eyes of mercy, may your healing hand rest upon me (her), may your lifegiving powers flow into every cell of my (her) body and into the depths of my (her) soul, cleansing, purifying, restoring me (her) to wholeness and strength for service in your Kingdom. Your will not mine (ours) be done. Amen.

Hi Lisa,
I will pray for your grandma...that God will give wisdom to the doctors and nurses caring for her, that the angels will stay close by her side, and that she will have peace of mind. I will pray for her comfort and that she will have some joy come into her life. I'm sure you will be part of the answer to that....bless you for caring so much.

I am praying. Father, I come to you in the Name of Jesus. I pray for this dear servant of yours. I pray for her healing. It is written in your word that every knee will bow to Jesus. I command infection, and the other conditions to bow to Jesus. Your Word also says that by His stripes we were healed. This was taken care of in the past, so it is done. I pray that she has comfort, and her spirit is raised, and that anger, negativity, and depression is gone in the Name of Jesus. May she be filled with a sweet spirit. I also pray that the doctors have your wisdom Father on how to treat this lady, and all of the family is comforted too, with wisdom. All this I ask in the mighty Name of Jesus!
