Archangel Raphael Prayer for Healing

Archangel Raphael is the great healer of the angelic realm — the one whose name means “God heals” and whose energy encompasses healing in its fullest sense: physical recovery, emotional restoration, mental clarity, and spiritual renewal. Across traditions, Raphael is the angel you call on when something in you — or someone you love — needs to be made whole again.

Here are prayers and invocations for calling on Archangel Raphael — for healing, for comfort, and for restoration.

A Simple Prayer for Healing

This is the most direct way to call on Raphael — a sincere, open request that can be said at any time.

Archangel Raphael, I ask for your healing.
Please surround me with your emerald light
and restore balance to my body, mind, and spirit.
Bring healing to wherever it is most needed,
and guide me toward what I need to recover and be well.
Thank you.

A Prayer for Healing of Another

When someone you love is unwell or struggling, you can call on Raphael on their behalf.

Archangel Raphael, I ask for your healing for [name].
Please surround them with your light and your love.
Bring comfort to their body, peace to their mind,
and hope to their heart.
Guide those who care for them, and support their recovery
in whatever way serves their highest good.
Thank you.

A Prayer for Emotional Healing

Raphael’s healing extends far beyond the physical. Call on him when you are carrying grief, heartbreak, anxiety, or the weight of something that has not yet healed.

Archangel Raphael, I bring you what I am carrying.
The grief, the pain, the places in me that are still raw.
Please hold them gently in your light.
Help me to heal at the pace that is right for me,
to be patient with myself,
and to trust that wholeness is possible.
Thank you.

A Prayer for Rest and Restoration

For those who are exhausted — burnt out, depleted, running on empty — Raphael offers the gift of restoration. This prayer is for the moments when you simply need to stop and be held.

Archangel Raphael, I am tired.
I ask for your gentle presence and your healing light.
Help me to rest deeply, to restore fully,
and to return to myself.
Remind me that rest is not weakness — it is wisdom.
Thank you.

A Prayer Before Sleep for Healing

Sleep is one of the most powerful healing states available to us. This prayer invites Raphael’s energy into your rest.

Archangel Raphael, as I sleep tonight,
please continue your healing work within me.
Let my body restore, my mind settle, my spirit renew.
Surround me with your emerald light through the night,
and let me wake feeling more whole than when I closed my eyes.
Thank you.

How to Use These Prayers

Raphael responds particularly well to softness and stillness. Before calling on him, take a few slow breaths and allow yourself to arrive fully in the moment. You don’t need to be strong or composed — Raphael meets you exactly where you are.

Lighting a candle before you pray creates a gentle, intentional space for healing energy to gather. Our Raphael Candle is hand-poured in 100% natural soy wax, with a fragrance chosen to honour his gentle, restorative energy. Light it as you begin your prayer, during rest, or at any moment when you need to slow down and invite healing in.

Pairing the candle with a green crystal — green aventurine or rose quartz — can deepen the practice. For a full guide to building a candle ritual, read our guide to creating a candle ritual with archangel energy.
