Prayer for Healing

Lord Jesus, you are the master of life and death. Everything I have is yours, and I love you very deeply. Just one touch from you restores the sick, heals the broken, and transforms the darkness.
Only you can do this
Only you

So I ask that you would be with (name) right now
May they sense your presence
May they feel your power
May they know your love
May their body be overwhelmed
With light and truth
With healing and wellness

Just as it was in the beginning
As you first intended us to be
May they be restored

I ask for your healing on their body right now

Thank you Lord that you hear my prayer

That you have overcome the world

That you hold all of heaven and earth in your loving hands
And that you have given us the promise of eternity

In our hearts forever
Amen

Prayer for Peace

The prayer for peace is said daily across the world at twelve noon by people from many different religious beliefs and philosophical persuasions.

Lead me from death to life, from falsehood to truth;

Lead me from despair to hope, from fear to trust;

Lead me from hate to love, from war to peace;

Let peace fill our heart, our world, our universe

(This simple prayer comes from the Vancover Assembly of the World Council of Churches. It's origins a thought to be from England circa 1981. In the early eighties, Mother Teresa of Calcutta popularised this prayer, and it subsequently became adopted by the Assembly of World Religions meeting in Russia. This event was timed to coincide with the second United Nations Special Session on Disarmament. By the end of the decade, the Berlin Wall had crumbled and the "Cold War", if not completely over, was certainly no longer the dark shadow across the world that it once was. However, with the turn of the millenium, and "9/11", the world was to face new challanges and new wars. Hence this prayer is as relevant today as it was when it was first prayed almost thirty years ago).

Prayer For Peace Among Nations

O Almighty God,
the Father of all humanity,
turn, we pray, the hearts of all peoples and their rulers,
that by the power of your Holy Spirit
peace may be established among the nations
on the foundation of justice, righteousness and truth;
through him who was lifted up on the cross
to draw all people to himself,
your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

William Temple (1881 to 1944)

In Amos we read:-

But let justice roll on like a river,
righteousness like a never-failing stream!
(Amos Chapter 5, Verse 24,

from the New International Version of the Bible)

A Prayer for Justice

Lord, may justice flow like a river
Reaching barren lands and sun scorched deserts

Where people feel forgotten and hopeless

Let your water of life

Comfort them

Where children lie abandoned or abused

Let your water of life

Protect them
Where communities suffer at the hands of prejudice

Let your water of life

Shield them

Lord, we ask for a mighty downpour from Heaven
May your sons and daughters hear your voice
May we live as you lead us to live
Go as you bid us to go
Serve as you inspire us to serve
Give as you teach us to give
Until the earth is covered with the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea
Amen
