Beseeching the Master Craftsman

Lord,
What marvelous creations
Are Man and Woman,
The work of Your Hands!
Intricately crafted,
Allowing for thought, feeling, and sensation,
Allowing for communion with You!
Our mortal bodies
Temporarily house our
Immortal selves,
But because these bodies
Are (for now) made of dust,
They are subject to decay.

Lord,
Adalheid's friend
Sits in a Florida hospital,
Recovering from brain surgery.
She is not as she was
Prior to the surgery.
We beseech You
To hasten her recovery,
And restore her fully whole
To her loved ones.
We ask You to reach down
And handle her healing Yourself,
To rewire and reform
That which You created
When she was still in the womb.
O, Master Craftsman,
Heal her brain,
Her speech,
Her memory,
And any other functions
That are now impaired.

Anointed One,
The Face of the Father on earth,
You healed throughout
Your three-year earthly ministry.
You healed all who came to You.
You healed all who sought You on behalf of others.
I beseech You in this same way,
On behalf of Cindy and her loved ones.
You sustain all things.
You bind up the broken,
And the broken-hearted.
Reach down, Lord and King,
Shepherd and Sacrifice,
And heal the work of Your Hands,
To the praise and glory
Of Your Everlasting Name!
