Prayers for Kids When Someone Is Sick
Honest prayers for healing — for a grandparent, sibling, friend, or yourself.
For someone I love
Jesus, please heal [name]. You're the Great Doctor. Give the real doctors wisdom. Comfort our whole family. Amen.
When I'm the one sick
Father, my body doesn't feel good. Please help it heal. Give me patience while I wait. I know you see me. Amen.
When we're waiting for news
God, we don't know what's coming. But we know you. Please hold us while we wait. Amen.
Verse to remember
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.”
— Psalm 34:18
Parent tip
Name the person out loud when you pray — kids remember God cares about specific people they love.
