Any of you go for healing prayers?

I've been reading several threads and am surprized there isn't a mention of healing prayer.  I have gone to a healing room in my area.  I just typed healing room into my computer and there are several across the country.  I haven't had a miraculous healing from going, but always feel blessed and healed spiritually, mentally, and physically.  Just wondering if anyone else goes or has experience with healing prayer.

    Yes I have gone to healing prayer at my church. I was not suppose to go, cause I was not to be around crowds, but it was a special service and I felt that God would protect me from getting an infection. So I went it was awesome. I felt the presence of the Lord. The power of prayer is an amazing thing. I do feel I have received healing just not where I would expect it or wanted it to be. My spirit is uplifted an I continue to grow in my faith of the Lord, and mentally I feel more sane, I am bipolar so that means so much to me. God has blessed me in this area. I have the right medication combination and good doctors. I am aware of when one of my moods are present. I have been healed and am a co facilitator for mental disorders at my church. Physically has been a challenge as I have been prayed upon for this area and believe in the might physican. I was told that it is a process. So I have accepted that. I have struggles. In 2006 I was in a car accident and hurt my back and neck. Was in and out of doctors offices for a year. Then in Mar. 2007 I broke my arm and had surgery. Then in July of 2007 I broke my shoulder on the same side. I had physical therapy for one year. Then in April of 2008 I was diagnosis with IBC. I keep my faith and I go for healing. I do not take anything for granted. I feel blessed and thank God each day that I have. I  have been through a lot, yet I still stand strong and wonder when all this will be done.  That in itself would be a healing. Keep the faith. Be strong, Believe there is hope, and keep God number one.

    Blessings, Elizabeth

    I don't know if this counts...but the day before my surgery, I took part in the Sarcament of Annointing.  My parish priest has ALS, so someone had to hold the container of oil fo him, and guide his thumb into it, but it was wonderful.....and I know this sacrament gave me strength for the journey that was to come.

    Sandy, certainly counts in my book to be annointed with oil.  I have been on several occasions.  I think prayer is a powerful tool.

    what is healing prayer- is it a particular form, a particular prayer, a special place?  I feel like that is a missing part of my healing and don't really know where to start.

    I have not been to a prayer service as such, however I know that I am on about eight prayer lists around the country and they are working!

    Because of a lack of insurance, among other things, I let BC go until it had mets into my femur and eaten away most of the bone. My daughter had come to help me as I was having difficulty walking but I would not let her take me to get help.   I thought I had a pulled muscle. The week after she went home I got to the point where I could not walk. I said to God,       "I think I need to be ministered to by angels." WIthin 48 hrs. I heard the voices of two friends entering my home. They were concerned about me and decided to surprise me with a visit. They live 2 and 1/2 hrs away They took one look and called 911 although I was protesting. The next day I had surgery to place a rod in my leg. Was in the hospital 2 weeks and rehab 1. My Orthopedic surgeon did not expect the hardware to hold, that type of surgery has a very low percentage rate of healing and I had not left him much bone to work with. The hospital chaplain came to see me several times, and people started to tell me I had been put on their church or personal prayer lists. Now it is five months past surgery and I have new bone growth and am walking with a cane. My Orthopedist practically does cart wheels when I see him. God answered my prayer and sent me angels. They do not have wings but I am in a far better condition than if they had not come. And I know that the prayers of many have been answered in my healing body. The cancer may not go away but as long as God's will is done that is fine with me. In the hospital I prayed to be God's miracle. We will see. In the meantime I want to shout to all "see what God can do!!"

    Healing

    God's healing hand reached out to me
    When I was hurt by life.
    His arm wrapped 'round in comfort
    protecting me from strife.

    My prayer was answered in His love.
    His saving Grace the key
    To finding peace I had not known.
    And joy came back to me.

    Peace and blessings and healing to all! Sandra
