Prayer

Hear my cry O` Lord ;Listen to my voice.
In pain and sorrow ,I cry unto thee.
My bones are weak and my heart troubled.
Heal me and soothing my heart with your
Viscous oil of joy. Lubricate my soul, lubricate
 my heart and lubricate my body with your loving kindness,
with  everlasting peace ,with good health…and happiness

Do unto me  like you did to  the righteous and servants of old….
The lame walked ,the blind saw ,the sick healed ,the 
Leper cured, the storm stopped ..all by your mighty hands.
Father! Stretch forth thy hand and remove from me ,this
 Blemish ,this mockery ,this pest and this dis..ease! 
For your hand is not too short to save nor too long to grasp, O` Lord.

. Arise O` Lord and put all my foes asunder..
Arise O` Lord and put a stop to my hardship.
Arise O` Lord and mold me into perfection..
Hearken unto my supplication as I bow on my knees.
Lead me O` Lord to my promised land.
Lift me up higher than my enemies..
Let the evil machinations of my foes be like
dust in the air,like the path of a snake on a mountain;
Like  a mirage in the desert..
Bless me with wisdom ,wealth ,joy ,and fruits of the womb;
So that my table will be surrounded with beautiful flowers.
And when I rest ,I SHALL REST in your bosom…
 IN JESUS NAME......
