Healing Prayer Ministry
by Greg Nelson, SJTW Healing Prayer Minister
"When we try to talk about our role in Healing Prayer we get caught up on which preposition to use: "with" or "for". Do we pray with or for others? Turns out we do both. We pray for the concern or gratitude to be embraced by God. But God already knows all that - even before any of us did. It's the "with" that God is probably guiding us toward.
In our understanding of Healing Prayer, we know we have a tiny and crucial role of "with" our brothers and sisters, which is the same role that any faithful person has when they fulfill a prayer request. We know that as Healing Prayer Ministers we are not unique. We just have been more visible in the prayer corner than the thousands of prayer requests being shared outside the church in the parish.
Please keep them coming - both with us and for us, as we do the same for and with you."
If you have a prayer/need that you wish for a Healing Prayer Minister to pray with you about, please feel confident to send this prayer need to kmccarty@sjtw.net. Your prayer will be confidential, totally. Let us pray with and for you.
We, in the Healing Prayer Ministry, are praying for you. We are heartfully offering back the support and trust you have given each week and each year. The silences, tears and smiles you shared are pure, faith-affirming gifts. As in all ministries, we receive more than we give. We are united in our faith and the love of Jesus who is our source of strength, courage and healing. And so, we continue to pray for the needs of our faith community during these difficult times. It is simple-we are always more when we are in community-praying for one another.
God be with you!
