Prayer For The Soul

Lord Jesus, I ask You to enter this person who has need of Your healing. I rejoice that as the light of your love now fills this mansion of the soul, all darkness shall flee. Look and see, O Lord, whether there be any ugly pictures on the walls—pictures of old distressful and horrifying wounds of the past. And if there be such pictures, take them down and give to this memory-housepictures of beauty and joy.

Go back, O Lord, through all the rooms of this
memory-house. Open every closed door and see if there be any dirty and broken thing that is no
longer needed. And if so, O Lord, take it away
completely. Go back even to the years of
childhood. Open windows long sealed and let in the gentle sunlight of Your love. Take a broom of mercy and sweep away the shame of ancient memories.

Follow the soul of this Your child all the way back
to the hour of birth and heal even the pain and fear
of being born. I pray that You will restore this
soul as You made it and will quicken it in all those
creative impulses that you have placed therein, so
that Your purpose may be fulfilled.

I give thanks, O Lord, knowing that this healing of
the soul is Your will and is the very purpose for
giving of Your life for us….and that therefore it
is even now being accomplished.
