When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray, he gave them a prayer. Not a lecture on prayer. Not the doctrine of prayer. He gave them a quotable, repeatable, portable prayer (Luke 11:1-4).
Could you use the same? It seems to me that the prayers of the Bible can be distilled into one. The result is a simple, easy-to-remember, pocket-size prayer.
Once a day for 40 days I'll post a simple prayer that brings peace and rest.
Day 16
They said to Him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.” So Jesus had compassion and touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him. ~Matthew 20:33–34
Father, you are the Healer and Miracle Maker. You can give sight to the blind and a voice to the voiceless.
Would you heal my body? I am in pain and need the healing only you can give. Give me an optimistic outlook despite my weaknesses.
For my family, please bring them miraculous healing in body and mind. Strengthen their faith and encourage them.
I thank you that you always hear my cries for help.
I pray this in the name of the great Healer, amen.
