When faced with personal pain or that of someone we love, it can be difficult to know how to respond. Turning to prayer for healing can offer comfort and peace in the midst of suffering. We can pray for physical healing, but also for emotional and spiritual healing.
Dear Lord,
I take comfort in knowing that I can pass my pain to you so that you can heal it.
Long have I felt alone, and whether that pain be mental or physical, I always feel unsure of how to cleanse my body and restore my energy levels.
Heavenly Father, touch me now with your healing hands, for I believe that your will is for me to be well in both body and mind.
Allow this suffering to wash over me and be carried away by your strength. Replace it with love and grace and have mercy on me as I recover.
My weakness is born from my desire to be whole.
Please be in my heart as I gain my composure, and offer me words and actions of encouragement as I find my way back to myself.
Amen.
