Prayer To Help Me To Forgive

My Lord, help me forgive when everything inside me tells me not to. Help me let go when my heart is so wounded that I feel it’s breaking. Open my eyes to things that can heal me, things that can comfort me and make me stronger. Hold my hand and let me cry on Your shoulder. Take me to places I’ve never been, let me stand on the highest mountain, so I can see how foolish I am for clinging to my anger. Show me a glimpse of Your greatness, so that I can make it my treasure when everything else seems to crumble around me.

Teach me to make the best of all the painful circumstances in my life and help me love the people who hurt me as You love us all, although we hurt You every day by our words, thoughts and actions. Give me the wisdom to see beyond this moment, to understand and accept the deepest motivations that make people hurt other people. Give me the inner strength to heal and not to break, to comfort and not to destroy, to repay good for evil and love for hatred.

And last, but not least, make my faith stronger, so that I can cope with moments like this in the future. Turn every experience into a magic well, from which I can always draw drops of strength and wisdom. Teach me the alchemy of love, which changes dust and mud into gold and makes everything worthwhile. For You are the only help I’ve got and in You I put all my trust now and forever.

AMEN

Prayer for Healing

Lord my God, here I am in front of You, bringing my cry before Your throne of glory, let my voice be heard. You are my Creator and the doctor of my body and my soul. You know the deepest and the most hidden parts of me. You know how each and every one of them functions and how they all work together to maintain the gift of life and make me who I am: a living being, a miracle of creation.

You also know when something doesn't work as well as it should and all the pain and suffering caused by the flaws in my frail body. You made me fragile and vulnerable but You also gave me an inner strength beyond words and a stubborn will that does not yield to the challenges of life. Let me use what I have got good in me to overcome the bad. Let me discover new ways to fight the pain and overcome the suffering.

My Lord, my Father, put Your allmighty hands on me and touch me with Your healing touch. Repair old damages, clear old wounds, heal, cure and restore. You are my only hope and I will not let go of it. As long as I have got a glimpse of faith, let my voice raise up to You, let my cry pierce the sky and break the barrier of time and eternity. Forgive me if I am too daring, but my heart urges me to come boldly before You and ask You for a miracle.

Make me whole again. Let me enjoy the beauty of Creation, the miracle of every day, the joy each moment brings. You have offered me this precious gift of life, don't let me waste it without making the best of it. Don't let me leave this world before I have tasted all the joys You had created for us mortals. Let my heart soar once again, let my soul be at peace, let my body be comforted by Your loving touch.

For You alone can heal me and restore me. You alone can make me enjoy life again. Help me make the best of the time I've got here, on Earth. Hear my prayer and come to me as a loving Father. For in You I trust and to You I bring all my burdens and my sufferings. You know what's best for me. Work in wonderful ways, so that my heart can praise you day and night and I can tell everybody what an amazing God You are.

AMEN
