Pray for healing

I prayed to you, Lord God, and you healed me... ~ Psalm 30:2 (CEV)

Pray for each other so that you may be healed. ~ James 5:16 (CEB/NLT)
Lord, it seems like such a simple thing -- praying for healing. It's clear that you are very interested in healing people. So, why am I so hesitant to pray for healing? Am I afraid that it won't happen? Am I afraid that people will think I'm one of those crazy faith-healers who tries to make a show out of healing? Or maybe I just don't think of it at all? Help me please to be more consistent in asking for healing. Healing is something you want to do. Asking is something you want me to do. I want to act according to your will. In Jesus' name, amen!
