Prayer for Healing

Bruised and battered, pressed and shattered,

Broken mess I come to You.

Ashes from my life all scattered

Changed to beauty: something new!

"Lord, You know how broke I'm feeling;

You know where the lie began.

So, I pray this prayer for healing:

Carry out Your perfect plan.

It began without my knowing,

Planted by the King of Lies.

That deception kept on growing

'Til it led to my demise.

Now I'm broken, trembling, lonely,

Feel abandoned and afraid.

Can you heal me, blessed Father?

Show me that for me you paid?

Can you teach me that I'm worth it?

Make me understand how high,

Wide, and deep your love for sinners

Is that on that cross You died?

Can you show me that my pain did

Not escape Your loving sight?

And through loving, gentle whispers

Heal me with Your mending light?"

Suddenly I feel Your presence—

Your light shining on my face—

And You show me Your redemption,

Hold me in Your warm embrace.

It was always part of Your plan

To redeem that trembling child

Whose kind innocence was stolen—

By the Enemy beguiled.

I can see now how Your leading,

Through the twists and turns of life,

Was preparing me for healing,

Bringing me into the light.

You were tilling my heart's garden,

And removing rocks and thorns;

You were turning toxic wasteland

Into beautiful new forms.

As I nestle in Your embrace,

And I wrestle with the lie,

You with patience give me more grace—

A new heart and mind supply.

You create a brand-new creature,

Strengthened by the struggles past;

Something beautiful and perfect,

Loved, redeemed, and unsurpassed.

Then You kindly, gently whisper,

"My dear child, will you now go

Show the broken souls of this world

That my fruits in your heart grow?"

"Yes, my Father, I will go and

Rescue Your souls from the lie!

Bring them on this healing journey

'Til we reach our home on High!"

Amen
