Dear Lord,
I come to You today with a heavy heart and a troubled mind. I am in need of Your healing touch and Your miraculous power. I am hurting and I am in pain, both physically and emotionally. I am feeling overwhelmed and I don’t know how to find my way through this difficult time.
But I trust in You, Lord. I know that You are the Great Healer and that You have the power to do all things. I believe that with Your help, I can overcome any obstacle and find my way back to health and wholeness.
So I ask You now, dear Lord, to please touch me with Your healing power. Please restore my body to full health and strength, and give me the grace and courage I need to face each day with hope and joy.
I pray that Your healing hand will be upon me, that Your love and Your light will guide me, and that Your miraculous power will work within me to bring about a complete and total healing.
But if healing does not come in the way that I expect, I pray that You will give me the strength and the faith to accept Your will and to trust in Your plan for my life. I pray that You will use this trial to draw me closer to You and to teach me the lessons that You have for me.
In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
