5 Things to Do Before Prayers for the Sick

Find a quiet place where you will not be interrupted. This is important because you want to be able to focus on your prayers and not be distracted by anything else going on around you.

Visualize the person you are praying for. Picture them in your mind and send them healing energy and love through your thoughts and prayers.
Be sincere in your intent and expect that the person you are praying for will receive the healing they need. Whether it is physical, emotional, or spiritual healing that they need, have faith that your prayers will be answered.
