The Power of Prayer

Prayer holds an important role in healing. We are not made up only of body. We are not made up completely of mind. Nor are we only soul. We are all three. And like a three legged stool missing one leg, our efforts at healing will be hampered if we neglect one component on our healing journey.


If we take all the medicines and prescribed treatments, but fail to address the emotional turmoils caused by a health crisis... we can not hope to fully recover.


Yet, if we only focus on emotional healing and ignore our spirituality ... we are never going to quite get to the sense of feeling completely whole again.


And if our body is wounded, not functioning as it should ... this too can hinder our spiritual progress.


Prayer is essential.


Prayer is the food we eat, prayer is the air we breathe, and prayer is the song we need to sing as each day brings us an opportunity for a new beginning.


Prayer is the gift we give to each other and the power of prayer is inescapable.


Never confuse being cured with being healed.


We may be cured from bodily illnesses, we may be cured from emotional turmoils, but being healed is not just being cured...


Being healed means we are returned to a sense of wholeness once again.


So our bodies may remain frail, but we can heal. And we may battle with depression, but we can heal.


In order to heal, we must tend to our spirituality. We must speak the language of the soul  and that language is prayer.

Every Thursday a group of us Called BLOOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED dedicate the day to praying for those facing the challenges of chronic illness.

If you would like to join in prayer  please do. And if you would like prayers to be offered for you, please leave a comment here or at our  Facebook site.

"I used to believe that we must choose between science and reason on one hand, and spirituality on the other, in how we lead our lives. Now I consider this a false choice. We can recover the sense of sacredness, not just in science, but in perhaps every area of life."
