Prayer for Healing




Lord Jesus, you came to heal our wounded and troubled hearts.
I beg you to heal the torments that cause anxiety in my heart;
I beg you, in a particular way, to heal all who are the cause of sin.
I beg you to come into my life and heal me of the
psychological harms that struck me in my early years
and from the injuries that they caused throughout my life.

Lord Jesus, you know my burdens.
I lay them all on your Good Shepherd's Heart.
I beseech you--by the merits of the great,
open wound in your heart--to heal the small wounds that are in mine.
Heal the pain of my memories,
so that nothing that has happened to me
will cause me to remain in pain and anguish, filled with anxiety.

Heal, O Lord, all those wounds that have been the cause
of all the evil that is rooted in my life.
I want to forgive all those who have offended me.
Look to those inner sores that make me unable to forgive.
You who came to forgive the afflicted of heart,
please, heal my own heart.

Heal, my Lord Jesus, those intimate wounds
that cause me physical illness.
I offer you my heart.
Accept it, Lord, purify it and give me the sentiments of your Divine Heart.
Help me to be meek and humble.

Heal me, O Lord, from the pain caused by the death of my loved ones,
which is oppressing me.
Grant me to regain peace and joy in the knowledge
that you are the Resurrection and the Life.
Make me an authentic witness to your Resurrection,
your victory over sin and death,
your living presence among us.
Amen
.

Do we focus only on the traits that make our enemies so unlikable?

Its a one liner question that struck me today and hit me on the face.Most of the time its what we always think about our enemies or the people who hurt us, we think and just see the negative side of their being. Its a realization I have today that even though these people may hurt us but they also have good points and they also have positive attitudes. Its hard to see the positive qualities of people who we have decided to associate with negative things. But I have tried it and have appreciated the good side despite the bad feeling. Maybe God has a way of moving in our lives that we learn from people who hurt us. Its a painful experience but its something that makes us grow and look things in a new perspective.

Up close and personal...



God said no...

God Said NO! I hope that you can get the effects on your computers! The words are great, but the movements of the faces add a lot....
I asked God to take away my habit. God said, No. It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up. I asked God to make my handicapped child whole. God said, No. His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary.
I asked God to grant me patience. God said, No.Patience is a byproduct of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is learned.
I asked God to give me happiness. God said, No.I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you. I asked God to spare me pain. God said, No.Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.
I asked God to make my spirit grow. God said, No.You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful.
I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life. God said, No. I will give you life, so that you may enj oy all things.
I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me. God said...Ahhhh, finally you have the idea. THIS DAY IS YOURS DON'T THROW IT AWAY May God Bless You.

Rain rain go away, come again another day....

I have noticed that for the last days it rained every afternoon and it has limited me from doing what I like to do and going where I want to go and yesterday was the perfect afternoon to top it all. I was able to go smoothly and comfortably. I had lots of errands to do and I was glad the rain cooperated and tried to absent and did not rain yeterday which was good coz I was able to complete all the tasks and without the rain to disturb me. I love rains but I only when im at home soundly sleeping, have a a nice day to you and I just hope it wont rain this afternoon.
