Dear God,

Who can heal like you, O Lord?  Who can tell injured tissues to rest, repair, and renew like you?  Who can soothe irritated passages like you?  Who can call an end to fevers, pain, and suffering like you?  Who can woo the body back to health like you?

We are made of you, Holy God.  As creator you make us in your image making us part of you.  You direct two cells to merge and divide and in time, you breathe life into us and scoot us from our home in the dark, safe womb into the light of the new world.  What a wonder, what a miracle!

As we reflect upon your infinite number of gifts to us, we want to call out..."Abba, Father."  We are grateful, O God, we are grateful for your creative, healing power!

There is
no great physician
like you,
Almighty God.
Thank you
for your
tender care.
Help us acknowledge
no healing
can take place
without you.
You made us
to heal,
to be renewed,
and restored.
Bless you.

Love, Andrea
