Lord, open my heart to Your healing grace and free me from my spiritual paralysis, my fear of rejection, my hesitation to speak Your Truth, my weak love for those who depend on my guidance and my neglect to carry my loved ones to You for healing and restoration. Touch every area of my life and liberate me from the power of sin and from bondage to harmful desires and addictions. Release me from the burden of guilt that I may confidently walk in Your Truth and goodness as I put my faith and love into action. May I respond to Your call of faith even if it involves the possibility of sacrificing that which is most precious to me. Help me to accept every difficulty as a new chance to purify my heart and sanctify my soul. Allow my trials to bring me from superficial piety to real maturity in faith and profound oneness with Your most holy will. As I abandon my entire future into Your capable Hands, grant that I may greatly rejoice in the authority that Your Father has given You to heal and set me free. Amen
Based on Today’s Gospel: Matthew 9:1-8
