A Prayer for Emotional Healing

I came across this prayer when I experienced a bend on our road. These were the times when I felt completely helpless, times when the pain was too much to contain.

PRAYER FOR EMOTIONAL HEALING

Loving Father,

I come before You with faith

in Your promise

that whatever I ask for in Your name

You will grant to me if it is for the good

of my soul and in accordance

with Your Divine Will.

I come trusting in Your great love for me

and believing that only You

know what is best for me.

I come to You now to ask

that You enter my heart

and heal all my wounded emotions.

You know me better than I know myself.

Bring Your healing love

into every corner of my heart

and release all the buried

negative emotions inside

that have not been resolved

and continue to cause

me pain and anguish.

Remove all unhealed hurts

and painful memories

that block the flow of Your graces,

robbing me of Your peace, love and joy.

Heal all feelings of sadness, loneliness,

fear and anxiety.

Heal all guilt, despair,

feelings of betrayal and rejection.

Heal all feelings of anger, hatred,

resentment and bitterness.

Bring Your healing love to all my emotions

that have caused me feelings

of hopelessness, discouragement,

helplessness and despair.

Grant me the grace to forgive all those

who caused these negative

emotions and likewise to be forgiven

by those to whom I have done the same harm.

O Lord, give me a repentant heart,

forgive me for my sins

and failures, and be merciful to me.

Help me to realize the blessings

that resulted from each painful experience

and how this has led me closer to You.

As You release from me

all these painful emotions,

fill all empty spaces

with Your love, Your peace, Your joy

and the powerful presence

of Your Holy Spirit.

After I have been healed,

may my life be a witness

to Your power and glory

and may I reach out to others, too.

All these I pray in Jesus’ name

through Mary and all the angels

and saints.

Amen.
