This comes from our reading in Matthew 8 this morning:
It seems no matter how grave or hopeless our situation, be it disease or sin, Your loving touch heals us, and makes us whole, Loving Jesus.
Grant me the faith of the Centurion, a foreigner to faith, but who quickly learned by watching and listening to You, how awesome You are, and the power at Your command, so that I too, may ask in faith for that which blesses others, especially even those many consider lowly or not worthy.
Lord, grant me the faith that will reserve my place at the feast table with the heroes and parents of the faith.
Work at making my weaknesses, strength; and my illnesses, blessings. Let me follow You without regard to where I will sleep nor stay, for in You I have found the rest my soul desired for so long, and the nourishment of my spirit; truly in You I have found the fullness of life.
Let not the storms of life take away from where I need to be; deliver me from believing possessions are more important than the blessings You share with others.
This I pray in Thy precious name, Lord Jesus, amen.
