Healing Prayer

There is a Power and Presence that responds to our prayers even to the point of healing our bodies of sickness and disease. Now, most of us as creative individuals experience some form of mental and emotional sickness which is one of the major causes of our not getting what we want out of life. The following is an example of how I used prayer to heal the emotional body of my daughter, so she could release her fear of death.

My 12-year old daughter, Madeleine, was sick last week and I wasn’t able to spend much time with her because she wanted to sleep at her moms. When she came to stay with me, I could tell that she had something on her mind, so I suggested that we do something different and skip her first class to go out for breakfast. It’s amazing how when we shift things up a little and do something out of the ordinary, a doorway opens up for growth. Madeleine would usually feel more comfortable talking out her concerns with her mom, but in this case she was open to sharing with me.

During breakfast, she shared with me that she is having a hard time concentrating in school because she keeps thinking about her friend’s mom who was diagnosed with cancer. This led us into a conversation about death and I shared with her how difficult it was for me when my dad died of a heart attach in front of me when I was 8 yrs old and how I have now come to understand that death is not the end of life, because life is eternal and although our bodies die our spirit or soul lives on forever.

She shared with me that her friends at school were all atheists and she herself is becoming one due to the fact that she is confused and doesn’t know what to believe. As a side note: I think it is a shame that children these days are lacking in faith, not only in God or a higher power, but in themselves as a divine creation with the understanding that they are indubitably connected to Spirit. After discussing faith and honoring her for her belief… or non-belief in God, we talked about the fact that because her friends mom was diagnosed with cancer that it does not have to be viewed as a death notice and that there are lots of people who heal themselves of sickness and disease. I shared with her that one of our friends was diagnosed with cancer three different times and only given less than a year to live and that was over ten years ago.

Madeleine then shared that her mom told her about the movie “The Secret” and how a woman cured herself of cancer by listening to funny tapes and laughed her way back to good health. It was pretty interesting to me that she mentioned that because I gave her mom “The Secret” over two years ago when she was working through some issues and she never watched it until now… at a time when she needed it hear it I guess. It never ceases to amaze me how Spirit works in such a way that something you do for someone years ago can take that long to germinate and become ripe enough for it to bear fruit. I truly believe that all is good!

I took a huge leap in faith when I shared with Madeleine that I believe that we can not only heal ourselves, but that we can also heal others and proceeded to tell her of a time when her Grandparents were both very sick and the doctors couldn’t determine what was wrong with them. My friend, who was madeleine’s aunt, shared with me at the time that she was concerned about her mom and dad and had to accept the fact that they were both well into their 80’s and she would have to get used to the fact that they just might die. I told Madeleine that I did a prayer treatment with her aunt concerning her parent’s health and the both of them became well immediately thereafter. As a matter of fact the doctors found a blocked artery in her grand-dad and when he finally went in for the angioplasty the doctors couldn't find the blockage because it had disappeared. Madeleine was familiar with treatment because we had done them many times before when we wanted to manifest something in our life, but never connected it with using the same power to heal our bodies and free them from disease.

When I left her off at school she was really quiet and I asked her if she wanted to do a prayer for her friend’s mom and she shook her head. I began to speak the word for her friend’s mom, recognizing the perfect wholeness that existed within her body temple, and then proceeded to unify her in consciousness with the perfection of Spirit Itself. When I was done with the prayer, and kissed my daughter goodbye, her smile told me that she had released any concern about her friend’s mom and I know that she left the car in complete faith that our prayer had been answered.
