healing prayer
Plea for wellness
Healing prayer is prayer offered with the intention of curing illness or restoring health, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual.
The practice spans religious traditions, from laying on of hands in Christian faith healing to intercessory prayer at a distance.
The congregation gathered for a healing prayer service.
Whether healing prayer works beyond placebo effect remains scientifically contested, though believers attribute recoveries to divine intervention.
