Spurgeon's Prayer: Seeking God’s Healing and Peace


The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; He saves the contrite in spirit.
— Psalm 34:18 (BSB)

There are times when solitude is better than society, and silence is wiser than speech. We should be better Christians if we were more alone.
— Charles Spurgeon


O Lord, we come to You tonight, seeking healing for the brokenhearted. There are those among us whose hearts are burdened and troubled, longing for peace. We ask that You, the Divine Physician, come and bind up their wounds. Heal those who are hurting, and bring comfort to those who are in pain.

Lord, we pray for those whose consciences are stormy and restless, who cannot find peace. Just as You calmed the stormy sea, we ask that You calm their troubled hearts. Let Your healing touch bring peace to those whose spirits are crushed under the weight of guilt or fear. Father, let them feel the power of Your sacred healing and know the peace that only You can give.

You are close to the brokenhearted, and we trust that You are near to those who are seeking Your peace tonight. Let them feel Your presence, Lord, and let the assurance of Your love bring rest to their weary souls.

We also pray for those who are wounded by the struggles of life. Whether it be physical illness, emotional pain, or spiritual weariness, we ask that You bring comfort and healing. You are the God who sees, and You know the depths of every heart. Heal the broken and restore peace to those who are suffering.

As we close this day, we trust in Your healing and comfort. We ask that You bind up the broken hearts, calm the troubled consciences, and bring peace to all who seek it. Thank You for being our healer and comforter.
