A prayer for physical and spiritual healing.....
Lord, I picture the lush green fields of the 23rd Psalm swaying in the gentle breeze caused by choirs of angels and saints praising your name. I am your Lamb and you are my Shepherd. I lie down in the field and face the heavens. I am wounded and tired from a long journey. I look to you for comfort and peace as promised in the 23 Psalm. I see you in the heavens as the Father and Fear You, but now You send your Spirit who mixes with human beings. A cloud passes and a bright sun shines on me. It also glistens and bounces off every blade of grass around me. It touches every circumstance of my life. The bright light is the Spirit of the Father who comes into me like a knife of fire in Divine Surgery of both my body and soul. I ask for forgiveness for my sins. The darkness within me now vanishes and my sins are forgiven and vanish like smoke in the air. I ask for the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and they flowed into me instantly or slowly as I yield to each of them with the greatest being the gift of Love. The Angels and Saints intercede in by behalf.
I now picture the quiet stream of gentle flowing water nearby. I go to it and drink from it and wash myself in it. It refreshes by whole being. The Shepherd of the 23rd Psalm comes over to me and shows me the source of the stream. The source flows from the open pierced wound of the crucified Jesus. God as Man became a Lamb to be sacrificed for me. He took my place and there is no further need for my own sacrifice for the Lamb completed God's plan in me. It is finished now. The Blood was shed and only the water flows now. I turn and see a red rose growing in the field. It is His Blood that now has become a rose. I pick the rose and breathe in its most beautiful aroma and give it to the Shepherd. There is nothing else that I can do of my own for the Shepherd. The Shepherd embraces me and holds me close. He anoints all my old wounds with oil and they too vanish. Now all my old scars of life are gone. I am fresh and new. I turn and see the Cross. I know now that I must take up my own Cross and follow Him. I try to carry it. I manage only a few steps. It is just too heavy for me. I look for the Shepherd for help but He has gone off somewhere. I run to find him and come around a mound and suddenly I am dazzled by even greater lights than before. The lights are bursting out from the mouth of a cave. It is the place of the Resurrection itself. A man just like myself rose from the dead. I must enter into the cave myself. I go to the mouth of the cave and stand in a bursting shower of lights. I now know the Shepherd is also my God and my Redeemer from all the ages. He is the God of the Old Testament and the Son of God of the New.
All of a sudden the Shepherd is by my side again. He says - Be now in Joy and be healed. The Father needs no new sacrifice. He needs no untimely deaths. However, you must know that you are from another place and earth is not your everlasting home. Also know - that I am your Shepherd and will be with you all the days of your life. Goodness and Mercy shall follow you until you come home to the place I am preparing for you. You can live in the Resurrection while in the body and beyond as St Paul said - I do not know if I am in the body or outside the body but I do know God is in me now.
Come Lord Jesus Come. We pray with the angels and saints to Come! We pray with your Mother Mary who crushed the serpents' head when she said - YES! - Let it be. Come now Lord and heal us all. Come with the Second Touch too that the Bible tells us about. Sometimes we need the Second Touch of the Lord to heal us from all kinds of blindness. For where else can we go but to Jesus alone. No matter what- I want you Jesus above anything else. Come in and reside in me. Amen

Oh Lord my Shepherd Flood me with your Grace
The 23rd Psalm - A song
Antiphon 1
My shepherd is the Lord, nothing indeed shall I want.
Antiphon 2
His goodness shall follow me always to the end of my days.
Antiphon 3
The Lord is my shepherd, nothing shall I want:
he leads me by safe paths, nothing shall I fear.
The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I shall want.
Fresh and green are the pastures
where he gives me repose.
Near restful waters he leads me,
to revive my drooping spirit.
He guides me along the right path:
he is true to his name.
If I should walk in the valley of darkness
no evil would I fear.
You are there with your crook and your staff;
with these you give me comfort.
You have prepared a banquet for me
in the sight of my foes.
My head you have anointed with oil,
my cup is overflowing.
Surely goodness and kindness shall follow me
all the days of my life.
In the Lord's own house shall I dwell
for ever and ever.
Author of God's Psychiatry prescribes 3 deep readings per day for a mental and
spiritual renewal or tune up. http://tapsearch.com/ray-tapajna-journals/id35.html
Prescription for daily tune up - read three times per day:
The Lord is my shepherd ( to feed, guide and shield me); I shall not lack.
He makes me lie down in (fresh, tender) green pastures: He leads me besides still and restful waters. (Rev. 7:17 )
HE refreshes and restores my life - my self; He leads me in the paths of righteousness- uprightness and right standing with Him - (not for my earning it, but ) for His name's sake.
Yes, though I walk through the ( deep, sunless) valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil; for You are with me; You anoint my head with oil; my (brimming) cup runs over.
Surely only goodness, mercy and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life; and through the length of days in the house of the Lord ( and His presence ) shall be my dwelling place.
* Revelations 7:17 - For the Lamb Who is in the midst of the throne will be their Shepherd, and He guide them to the springs of the waters of Life: and God will wipe every tear away from their eyes. (Ezek. 34:23: Ps. 23:2; and Is. 25:8 )
