A Healing Prayer

A Healing Prayer
Lord God...
Make me an instrument of Your healing.
When I am weak and in pain, help me to rest.
When I am anxious, help me to wait.
When I am fearful, help me to trust.
When I am lonely, help me to love
And when I place You apart from me
Help me to know You are near.
Healing God...
Grant me not so much
To demand everything from myself
As to let others help me;
Not to expect others to cure me
As to do my own part toward getting better.
Grant me not so much to seek escape
As to face myself...
And learn the depths of Your love.
For it is in being uncertain and not in control
That we find true faith.
In knowing the limits of mind and spirit
And in passing through death
That we find life that lasts forever.
