You may happen across someone who is sick or injured today. If you do, try this:
- ask if you can pray for them right then and there: “Can I pray for you right now?”
- if they say okay, simply ask God to heal them, not wordy, religious, or bargaining, just ask: “Hey God, [name] is sick/hurting, please come and heal him/her right now.”
- ask them if they feel better, if they don’t pray again
A couple of things to note here:
- many people will actually let you pray for them if you ask. It may seem weird at first, but they usually say yes
- it doesn’t matter if they believe or not, God actually likes being an “non-anonymous benefactor” and often does stuff to show people how much he loves them, especially when they don’t already know
