Gratitude for Healing

Author: Janet

Life Design - My Journey to Higher GroundWe had an incredibly beautiul prayer and healing service at our chuch last Sunday evening.  I have been pondering it all week.

Our earth needs healing and the people who dwell on it need healing; some people more than others, of course.

There are many formats for Healing Services, and many venues; the ones we see on televison, those in hospitals and homes; this one was a simple yet profound service in the setting of our santuary.

The service elements were: music, liturgy, prayer,  annointing with oil and the Blessing Prayer for Healing.

I wish to share this prayer with you now, and may it be my prayer for all of you.

A Blessing Prayer to be Healed

May you desire to be healed

May what is wounded in your life be restored to good health

May you be receptive to the ways in which healing needs to happen

May you take good care of yourself

May you extend compassion to all that hurts within your body, mind and Spirit

May you be patient with the time it takes to heal

May you be aware of the wonders of your body, mind and Spirit and their amazing capacity to heal

May the skills of all those who are caring for you be used to the best of their ability in returning you to good health

May you be open to receive from those who extend kindness, care and compassion to you

May you rest peacefully under the sheltering wings of Divine love, trusting in God’s gracious presence

May you find little moments of beauty and joy to sustain you May you keep hope in your heart

Amen

Have I climbed to Higher Ground as a reflection of this Service?  You bet I have…

Have YOU?
