Being specific in prayer regarding healing

[TreeOfLife123]

I have found that being specific about certain regions of the being has a more direct and much better healing effect than simply praying to be healed of everything generally. For example when I pray to God that He heal my heart it has MUCH more of a healing effect and all the tension in my system eases. Previously I didn’t even know that the heart was an issue spiritually speaking but it sure is.

I guess what I’m also getting at is that being specific in prayer is very important for healing it seems. Another example is to not just ask to be mentally healed(a general statement) but to pray that God heal specific issues mentally and it has a direct effect that seems to alleviate the suffering much more.

It’s like having a broken finger and seeking healing generally. But it seems better to pray to God for healing of the broken finger specifically and would enact much more of a specific healing response for what the actual problem is.

Any further ideas?

I’m not sure about this to be honest. People certainly do pray for healing when it comes to specific things, and it is certainly not wrong to do so, but praying for healing generally can have the same effect. For example, during mass - at the elevation of the host - I often ask God to heal my wounds. I don’t spell it out becuase He already knows what I need. And this has helped me immensely in the healing process.

It was more of an idea and finding from my own experience than something I necessarily thought totally true. I wasn’t sure of it myself. It is true that when I have asked for specific healing of specific things it healed much more and had more of an effect. It seems different than praying generally. But praying generally has also had a great effect.

Maybe I too should pray for healing of my wounds.

Thanks for your comment.
