One of them, when he saw that he was healed,
turned back, praising God with a loud voice.
—Luke 17.15
Thank you, God, for all the ways I have been healed.
For health in my flesh, the miraculous way
my body knows how to heal itself.
For your healing of my self-esteem,
the gift to see myself whole, as you see me.
For the renewal of my relationship with you,
gratitude where once there was doubt.
For the healing of my hope,
trust where once there was despair.
For the restoration of relationships,
forgiveness where there was brokenness.
For the healing of community,
inclusion where there was division.For the mending of the world,
where, whether there be disease or not,
and people able-bodied or not,
whether there be yet justice or still injustice,
all shall be well,
and all manner of things shall be well.
