Healing Prayer for Stroke Patients begins in the quiet, where words crumble and only the sound of breath and heartbeat remainbquiet, stubborn signs of life. When a stroke comes, it feels like time itself bends, when what once was effortlessbspeaking, smiling, moving becomes a mountain to climb. But in those still hours, something holy often stirs: the healing power of God.
I once met a man named Joseph Cox, who suffered a stroke at forty-eight. He said, “When my body stopped, my faith started moving.” There was something profound in that, like the soul learning to breathe where the body could not. For stroke victims, prayer becomes more than words—it becomes motion for the spirit.
