A prayer for healing
Lord, Jesus Christ, when I read the gospel stories I am
touched by your healing power. You
healed sick bodies to be sure, but you did so much more. You healed the spirited and the deep inner
mind. Most of all I am touched by your
actions of acceptance that spoke healing into those who lives on the margins of
life- shoved aside by the strong and the powerful.
Speak your healing
into me, Lord – body and mind and soul.
Most of all, heal my sense of worthlessness. My head tells me that I am of infinite value
to you but my heart cannot believe it.
Heal my heart, Jesus, heal my heart.
Amen.
My dear precious child, come and sit with me awhile.
Other do not value you because they do not understand. They value
only the most trivial of things – power, strength, beauty, wealth,
intelligence, influence. You do
not need those things to gain my
acceptance and my love.
I call you blessed just because you are. Come close and receive my
blessing, let you heart feel the warmth of my healing.
And now, my child, never despise what I have called blessed.
From Prayers from the
Heart by Richard J. Foster
