Welcome back to the Firefly of Silence. Tonight, we come before the Lord to seek healing. Whether you are carrying physical pain in your body, or a heavy ache in your heart... know that the Divine Healer is with you right now.

Close your eyes. Take a gentle breath in... feeling God's comforting presence... and breathe out all the tension and pain you are holding on to.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Lord Jesus, You are the great physician. When You walked on this earth, You healed the sick, comforted the brokenhearted, and brought peace to the suffering. I bring my tired and aching self to You tonight.

Where there is pain in my body, I ask for Your healing touch. Where there is sorrow or hurt in my memories, I ask for Your gentle grace. Wash away the burdens of today.

Psalm 147 reminds us... 'He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds.' I trust in those words tonight, Lord. I trust that even as I sleep, Your Holy Spirit is working within me... restoring my strength, and renewing my mind.

Let us pray the words Jesus taught us. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name... thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses... as we forgive those who trespass against us... and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Mother Mary, comfort of the afflicted, wrap me in your loving prayers. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Lord, as I drift into sleep, let me feel the warmth of Your healing light. Let every cell in my body rest and recover. I surrender my health and my heart into Your loving hands.

May the all-powerful Lord grant us a quiet night... and a peaceful rest. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Rest now in His healing love. Goodnight.
