Short Powerful Catholic Prayer For Casting Out Spirits :
Petition #9:
A Prayer for Physical Healing and Deliverance
Scripture Reading:
Psalm 111, James 5:13-16
Reflections of the Heart:
Divine healing is as real today as it was in the book of Acts. Jesus is the same today, yesterday, and forever!
In Mark 16:17-18, Jesus said, “These signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my
name, and they will speak new languages. They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink
anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick and heal them.” Let
us do what Jesus did!
Catholic Prayer For Casting Out Spirits
Scriptural Prayer:
Glorious Father, we thank You for salvation, the greatest miracle of all. Thank You for Your eternal love and
unmerited grace. Thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, to break the power of the devil and to bring us hope,
health, and healing. We give thanks because You are near. People everywhere will tell of Your wonderful
deeds. Lord, You are good and Your unfailing love endures forever. You are great and You perform wonderful
deeds. You alone are God. How great are Your signs and how powerful are Your wonders. Lord, You are high
above all the nations. Your glory is higher than the heavens. Who can be compared with You, our God, who is
enthroned on high.
Awesome Father, You brought Israel out of Egypt with signs and wonders, with a strong hand and powerful arm.
Jesus Christ, Your Son, turned water into wine, cleansed lepers, healed the sick, raised the dead, and fed five
thousand people with two fish and five loaves of bread. Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His
disciples so that we would believe that He is the Christ, the Son of God, and have life in His Name. We believe
Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today and forever. Therefore; Father, we expect You to display Your glory
in the lives of those people who are in need of healing and deliverance. With You, nothing is impossible. We
expect diseases to be dissolved, broken relationships to be mended, and those who are held captive in their
minds and souls to be set free. As we pray for those in need of healing, we confess that Your healing power will
operate through us. In Jesus’ Name, we declare healing for (list the names of people you know who need a
physical healing; encourage them to pray scriptures of healing located at www.prayerinstitute.com.)

Righteous Father, please help us to be bolder about praying for healing. Help those in need of healing to trust
in You with all of their heart and not depend on their own understanding. Holy Spirit, please open the eyes of
their understanding so that they will understand the confident hope given to those Christ has called. Remind
people to look to You for help, strength, and power. Father, cause Your healing power to be experienced
throughout our church and community.
Merciful Father, forgive those people who have doubted Your Word and Your works. Forgive them for acting
godly, but denying Your power to perform healings, signs and wonders in their lives and in the lives of others.
Lord, please forgive them and restore to them the joy of Your salvation. Lord, forgive me for (list any sins that
you have committed.) Holy Spirit, remind those people who are in need of physical healing and deliverance to
forgive others and please help them to forgive. As for me, Holy Spirit, bring to my remembrance those I need to
forgive. (Take a moment and ask the Holy Spirit to show you names or faces of people that you may need
to forgive. As He shows you, say aloud, “I forgive name of person(s).” Now, trust the Lord to heal any
wounds in your soul caused by unforgiveness.)
Marvelous Father, help us all to not yield to temptation; but deliver us from the evil one.
Royal Lord, You are the Almighty! Only You can open the eyes of the blind and unplug the ears of the deaf.
You cause the lame to leap like deer and those who cannot speak to sing for joy. You cause springs to gush
forth in the wilderness and streams to water the wasteland. You cause the parched ground to become a pool
and springs of water to satisfy the thirsty land. Great and awesome is Your Name. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
