Today is Thursday, November 6th, 2025; Karen's Korner #5479

I came across a booklet titled "POCKET PRAYERS:  40 Simple Prayers that Bring Peace and Rest", written by Max Lucado. 

You can tell I like what he writes and says. Lucado confesses that he isn't a eloquent pray-er like some in his midst. Instead, he has a 'simple, easy-to-remember, pocket size prayer formula:

Father,
you are good.
I need help. Heal me and forgive me.
They need help.
Thank you,
In Jesus' name amen.

He then writes 40 short prayers, using his design. This is #23:

"God almighty, you are capable of healing all diseases, parting the seas, and raising the dead to life. I worship you and praise you.
Father, heal my sickness. My body aches, and my heart and my soul ache too. Bring me relief and help me not to focus just on my own needs.
Give strength to my friends who are sick and in pain. Cradle them now and heal them.
Thank you that you hear us. thank you that Jesus healed those who were laid before him and that you still bring healing today.
In the name of the almighty God, amen.

*
"Then great multitudes came to Him, having
with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed,
and many others, and they laid them down
at Jesus' feet , and He healed them."
~ Matthew 15:30
