God of Healing,
We know Your love and we feel Your Presence, but there are times when we are so concerned about what we want that we choose not to accept these realities. We subdue the wonder and sense of awe that is within us and reduce all of life to facts, figures, and measurable results. Please forgive us, Loving God. We want to be whole physically, mentally and spiritually, but to do so we must surrender our ego and hubris. Touch our hearts, we pray. May the mystery of Your presence overwhelm us, heal us, and make us whole. In Jesus’ name we pray. AMEN.
