PRAYER FOR HEALING

Heavenly Father and Mother,
I call on you right now in a special way.
It's through your power that I was created.
Every breath I take,
every morning I wake.
And at every moment of every hour,
I live under your power.

I ask you now to touch me
with that same power.
Since you created me from nothing
you can certainly recreate me.
Fill me with the healing power of your spirit.
Cast out anything tht should not be in me.
Mend what is broken.
Root out any damaged cells.
Open any blocked arteries or veins
and reuild any damaged areas,
Remove all inflammation
and cleanse any infection.

Let the warmth of your healing love
pass through my body,
To make new any unhealthy areas
so that my body
will function the way you created it to function.

And, Father Mother God,
restore me to full health in mind and body,
So that I may serve you
for the rest of my life.

I ask this through Christ, our Lord.

Amen.

BLESSINGS FOR THE NEW YEAR

Remember us, O God;
From age to age be our comforter.
You have given us the wonder of time,
Blessings in nights and days,
Seasons and years.

Bless your children at the turning of the year,
And fill the months ahead with the bright hope
That is ours in the coming of the New Year.
You are our God, living and reigning,
Forever and ever.

Amen.
