Prayers to Heal a Child After a Bad Car Accident

Praying for a child after a bad car accident could include prayers for healing of body, mind and spirit because the accident can harm the body and frighten the child. Those who are sick or in need of help can call for the elders to come and pray to experience healing, according to James 5:13-16. The prayers might provide comfort to the child and help heal him.

  1. Prayer for Broken Bodies

    • A serious car accident could result in broken bodies and pain. Incorporating Scripture into prayer can encourage the spirit. A prayer asking for healing for broken bodies could say, ̶0;Heavenly Father, I pray that you will heal this child whose bones ache as in Psalm 6:2. I claim Isaiah 53:5 that this child is healed by the suffering you took in your body. I trust you to send your word and healing power as promised in Psalm 107:20. Amen.̶1;

    Prayer for Seriously Injured Child

    • In a car accident with serious injuries to the child, you might fear for the child's life. In addition to the Scriptures claimed in the prayer for broken bones, you can add an additional prayer for the preservation of the child̵7;s life. That prayer could include, ̶0;Father, we claim the words of the psalmist in Psalm 118:27 that this child will live and not die so he can proclaim how you preserved his life. As Jesus touched the sick and dying children during his ministry on earth, we ask you to bring this child to a full recovery in every way.̶1;

    Prayer for Emotional and Mental Healing

    • Fear is a normal reaction after a bad car accident. Even if the child sustains few bodily injuries, fear can linger on long after the body heals. A prayer for healing fear and providing comfort could include, ̶0;Father, your word tells us in 2 Timothy 1:7 that fear doesn̵7;t come from you, so I claim that this child be healed of fear resulting from the car accident. I pray you send your perfect peace, binding up her wounds and her heart as promised in Psalm 147:3. Amen.̶1;

    Prayer for Healing with a Loss

    • Lives can be lost in bad car accidents, and the child could face grief in addition to physical pain. That is another scenario where Psalm 143:7 would be a good Scripture to pray over the child. A pray for a child who needs heart healing in addition to body healing could include, ̶0;Father, as you heal this child̵7;s physical injuries, I pray that you comfort him as he grieves the loss of someone he loves. In the words of Isaiah 57:19 and Psalm 147:3, I claim the promise that your peace will accompany his healing as you bind up his wounds and heart. Amen.̶1;
