Healing Touch

Lord I lift each one to you as I begin to pray
The struggles and hardships they have to face
Lord we need your healing touch in this place

Touch those are suffering from deep depression
From  mental illness, and spirits of oppression.
Those with cancer, and diseases without a cure
Fill each one with hope, and strength, to endure.

There are many facing different kinds of sickness
Help them to be strong during their weakness
There are too many to be listed in this prayer
Touch each man, woman, and child, out there.

Touch those with emotional scars, filled with hurt and pain
Heal their mind, soul and spirit, make them whole again.
Those physically abused, whose lives are filled with fear
Let them feel your love and presence to know you are near.

For those who need God’s special healing, and touch
Just reach out and agree in prayer along with us.
Lord, lay your loving hands upon each and everyone
We pray for healing and that your will may be done

I always pray for my blogging friends but thank you for letting us know about the specifics. May the Lord's healing cover you, His strength, protection and comfort. Take care sister.

From the Heart said...

Lori, I am in agreement with the prayer you wrote and especially for you. God's word says ask and you shall receive. Father, I'm asking you to heal Lori completely so she can continue the work you have called her to do, in the name of Jesus. Amen

I have put my prayer request in with my Thankful Thursday.
Love you lots,
AliceE.

Rose said...

Girl, you know I AM praying for you! God hasn't brought you this for without having a reason! I am believing he has so much more for you to do that your test will be fine.
HUGS and blessings,
Rose

HOPE said...

Dear Lorie...I'm so glad I have time to stop by and read of your great need at this time...I will surely keep you in prayer.

Your prayer/poem is so appropriate as truly there are so many with healing needs or strength of endurance in God's will.

I have started back on my Watering Wells Of Hope blog about my CANCER journey. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in Dec. God has so graciously taken care of my needs. I know he will give you strength and sufficient grace as you rest in HIM.

God bless you with an answer to your prayers.

Sweet Sister,

Absolutely I am praying along side of you and the rest of these wonderful prayer warriors for a complete and total healing of your liver in the name of Jesus Christ. Your poem is beautiful as you are my friend and my heart prays with you here.

Love you so much,
Alleluiabelle

Please pray for my sweet sister as she will start her first chemo treatment on February 8, port to be placed in her chest next Tuesday as well as my husband whose heart issues are not good. He had a spell a couple of days ago, thank the Lord that he recovered within 5-10 minutes time at home.

Bless you precious one.

Lorie,
May you know the touch of the Savior...intimate and whole, pressing closer than pain or worry or illness, a touch deep enough to quench every longing, wide enough to encompass every trial and high enough to soar over every heartache.

Blessings.
Jen

Lorie, my church has a prayer request box where we can put in the names of loved ones who are in need of prayer. If you don't mind, I'd like to drop your request into the box so my entire church family can pray over you.

Please know I am agreeing with you in prayer. God bless you, my dear sister!
