Lord of all things and all people,
I pray to you today for the well being of people’s inner beings.
We very often receive requests to pray for physical ailments that people may have.
This is a good thing, I think, but in my experience, people are embarrassed to admit when they are sad,
Depressed,
Hopeless,
Scared,
Or have any emotional or mental discomfort or disease.
This, I do not think is good.
Without being able to share our hurts,
Deep as they are,
With our fellow humans,
We lose an opportunity to heal.
Lord, help us to recognize our need to pay attention to our inner beings,
Not simply our physical bodies,
And help us to value those parts of ourselves enough
That we would seek to be healed in those places, too.
Please, Lord, bless all those dealing with this type of pain,
And bring them to wholeness.
Amen.
