Great Spirit: A Prayer For Physical Pain

Great Spirit,

My body needs healing.

I am tired.

I am hurting.

Help me turn inward towards myself with softness,

With patience,

And with love.

Wrap yourself around the parts of me that ache,

The parts of me that feel heavy,

Inflamed,

Broken,

Or numb.

Hold them in light.

Hold them in love.

Hold me as I surrender.

As I breathe,

Exhaling,

Surrendering to all that I can't control.

As I breathe,

Surrendering the pressure to be strong.

As I breathe,

Surrendering the story that I will always be in pain.

Help me to trust in spiritual healing.

Hold me inside of your healing light.

Release me from this ache.

Allow my body to let go.

Bring me into my breath as I inhale the light of love and exhale the tightness.

Exhale the pain.

Show me how to tend to this vessel.

Help me to honor the pain without becoming it.

Help me hold the hope that healing is already happening.

Right now,

In this breath,

In this stillness,

In this prayer,

Great Spirit,

I give this body to you,

And I trust in the healing that is here and the healing that is to come.
