Prayers
For
Healing
And
Health
The power of prayer in promoting health is well documented; these words set out to look at wellbeing in all sorts of ways. Some of the prayers are not directly about health but explore ideas that can make us feel better – like inspiration and even prayer itself.
Prayer for Inspiration
Take me to a palace deep
… and deeper in the cosmic gloom
Show me…
Swirling clouds of colour
Purple as the robes of the wise
Red as a sweet, sweet cherry
Radiant as beaten gold
Carry me to the blue planet
The gates of heaven
Numinous and lovely
And let my soul fly south
To rest in olive groves
Serenaded by birdsong
Open my soul
To a soaring song
Let me sing…
A tone that floats far, far away
And falls like gentle rain
In a land of loveliness
Guide my hand to write words
That form bird song music
Let the sailing ship of my soul
Float on a sunbeam
That I may paint a tapestry
Celebrating the harmony of life
In this way
I simply ask for the words
The music
The splendour
The grace
The mystery
Of our world
Thank you
