Prayer for Healing

Here is the prayer we prayed before communion yesterday:

God,

You hear our cries

You feel our pain

You heal our wounds

Give us strength in weakness.

Bring us hope in despair.

Bless us with Your presence in our fears.

Forgive us of our sins and help us be forgiving.

Provide us wholeness
in our bodies

   peace in our mind

   repair in our relationships,

   and rest of our souls.

We want more of the life and the grace You give.

Help us to trust in You alone and
seek Your healing, wholeness, and balance.

Let my pain be a blessing to me and to others.
   May my heartbreak be a breakthrough

   May my wounds transform into wisdom

   May my past give somebody else a future

And God—make Your love, Your power, and Your grace be evident and abundant to me in days of celebration and blessing, in days of trials and hardship, and in ordinary days.

Amen.
