20 Healing Prayers to Say for a Friend in Need

Friends are important pillars in our life, and when their strength is waning or they’re not receiving all there is out of life, it can hurt us too. And in the direst situations, it may feel like there’s nothing that we can do to help, but some are comforted by sharing a quote about faith with their loved ones, and others find solace in offering prayers for their friends who are sick or suffering. If you're looking for ways to ask for healing or to send messages of hope, the following prayers come from an array of religious texts, spiritual leaders, and authors—and they're ones that I have found to be the most poignant. Hopefully they'll bring your nearest and dearest some positivity, too.
