My Prayer

In this prayer, I earnestly seek Your healing touch, O Lord. Mend the brokenness within me, heal the wounds of my heart, and restore my soul to its rightful place in Your presence. Teach me to walk in Your ways, to seek Your face with all my heart, and to live in the fullness of Your love and righteousness.

I am grateful, Father, for Your promise of renewal. May my life be a testament to Your transformative power and grace. Lead me back to You, always, that I may dwell in Your presence and proclaim Your faithfulness.

In the precious name of Jesus, I pray, Amen.
