Strength & healing
Scriptures for strength and healing
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” — Psalm 147:3 (NIV)
Some seasons ask more of you than you have. Psalm 147:3 says God heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds — care for the inner life as much as the body.
These prayers cover both: physical healing and recovery, and the endurance needed when the healing is slow. They are written to be prayed on the days strength has already run out, and each includes a reflection and a few steps for that same day.
39 prayers on strength & healing
Deliverance from Lucifer — the Spirit of Pride & False Light
Lucifer represents the fallen desire for self-exaltation — pride, rebellion, and darkness dressed up as enlightenment. If you have been fighting superiority, hidden arrogance, or a refusal to submit to God, this is the stronghold to break.
Deliverance from Beelzebub — the Lord of Flies & Filth
Beelzebub is associated with filth, decay, and spiritual infestation — unclean habits, addictions, and thought patterns that seem to swarm back no matter how often you resist.
Deliverance from Asmodeus — the Spirit of Lust & Broken Marriages
Asmodeus works through sexual temptation, lust, and the destruction of covenant intimacy. If your battle is impurity, pornography, adultery, or a fractured marriage, pray this deliverance aloud.
Deliverance from Mammon — the Spirit of Greed & Money Bondage
Mammon is the spiritual force behind greed, financial anxiety, and the lie that money is your source. If money controls your peace, your decisions, or your worship, this prayer breaks its throne.
Deliverance from Leviathan — the Twisting Serpent of Pride & Confusion
Leviathan is the twisting serpent — a spirit of double-mindedness, stubborn pride, confusion, and division. If relationships feel knotted, communication gets twisted, or you cannot see clearly, Leviathan may be at work.

Belphegor represents spiritual sloth — procrastination, excuse-making, and comfortable avoidance that keeps purpose on the shelf. If you feel stuck while your calling waits, this prayer stirs diligence.
Deliverance from Satan — the Accuser & Adversary
Satan is the adversary and accuser. His work is condemnation, spiritual attack, and lies about your identity. If you feel constantly accused, opposed, or under siege, this prayer enforces your authority in Christ.

Paimon symbolizes forbidden knowledge and occult wisdom that trades revelation for allegiance. If you have dabbled in hidden arts, secret teachings, or spiritual shortcuts, renounce that access here.

Questions
Questions about strength & healing
What is a good prayer for strength and healing?
A good prayer names the specific weakness or illness, asks God plainly for healing, and asks for endurance in case healing comes slowly. Psalm 147:3, Isaiah 40:29-31, and 2 Corinthians 12:9 (his power is made perfect in weakness) give the language these prayers build on.
Should I still see a doctor if I am praying for healing?
Yes. Prayer and medical care are not alternatives to each other. These prayers are devotional content, not medical advice, and nothing here should replace treatment from a qualified professional.
What do I pray when healing has not come yet?
Pray for endurance rather than only outcome: strength for today, honesty about the disappointment, and grace for the people carrying it with you. The strength prayers in this section are written for exactly that stretch.
