I wrote this prayer for healing of my illnesses and in this context I include all who read this forum. Today I have added a prayer that I use quite frequently when I pray. I do not understand my mental illness, why I have it, or where I shall end up however I keep praying that I will get to a point where I can recover sufficiently enough that I can return to work. At this point I do not know when it will be and my doctors say for me not to worry about it right now and that the my main focus needs to be on continuing with my therapy. I go to group therapy once a week, see a psychologist once a week for EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) treatment, see a psychiatrist once a week, and then see another psychologist once every two weeks. I also have a pinched nerve in my back that is also causing its own problems for me. I do find that reading the Bible and praying are helpful in a unique way. You can pray in silence or in a loud voice anyway that you like, whatever works for you. I think no matter what your religious beliefs; many if not most people do have a higher power of their own choosing and I would be the last to condemn anyone else’s beliefs. I do pray for other people in my life; be it family, friends, doctors, nurses, patients, or people in this forum if I see a need and obviously there is much need in the world as i see it.

God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost, the Creator of all the heavens and earth. You gave us our Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior and I realize that I cannot do without the wisdom of your teachings. I steadfastly acknowledge the power of your love and grace and verse. I prayer for the courage and strength as I go forward in my life to understand the physical and mental illnesses that I have and to make my way through the regiment of treatments that I am undertaking. I realize that my mind is weak and my body is racked in pain at times however, I strive to move forward towards some semblance healing, as you would see fit. I know there is a reason why I have been burdened in this manner and although I cannot understand the reason, I accept it as your will Lord. I need help Lord to deal with the fears, demons and scrambled thoughts that have now permeated and invaded my mind because of my mental illness. I know not how to understand these thoughts and feelings. Therefore, I bow down to You and I ask for Your Devine mercy and blessings in my time of need. I ask that you would help me to find the treatment(s) that I need. I am forever thankful for the doctors, nurses, and health care workers that you have bestowed on me for I have been truly blessed with their knowledge and wisdom and caring during this time of need. May they continue to provide for my physical mental health needs and provide the direction that I need towards healing. Grant them the wisdom to unlock the mysteries of my mind and body as they treat me. I also ask that you help me to know what it is I am to say to make my family, friends and co-workers so that they in turn understand the nature of my illness so that they will not judge me unfairly but have compassion for this dilemma that I am now face. I ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior whom you bestowed upon us. In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost AMEN.
