Prayer in Disability


Many of us either struggle with disability, or care for someone with disability. Disability and pain over lengthy periods of time can cause downheartedness. The path of life is not always easy. However, we are not alone. Here, in this place of worship, be assured that you rest within the prayers of ministers who have been called by God to pray for you. You are in the presence of the Creator Who is Compassion and Love.

Bring before God your struggle with disability.
Ask Him for guidance and wisdom as you deal with this health challenge.
Ask Him for the strength you need to deal with the disability.
In prayer, ask God to send you the right healers you need to assist you with the disability.

Ask God for assistance in finances so you can pay for the care needed.
And, above all, remember that He will not allow you to struggle through life's path unaided. Turn to Him - He is here.

A candle has been lit for you. Blessings.

MEDITATION
Disability is like an impassable gate we need to get through. how will we open it? Once we are through, how will we cope on the other side? Will there be anyone to help us?

Observe the deep shadows on the side of the gate nearest to us. These symbolise our fears, our struggle. See how the light opens up into the beautiful greenery of hope on the other side of the gate. Just so is God waiting to help us with this very personal difficulty. We are not meant to walk life's paths alone. Remember; each of us has something to deal with. There is not one person walking the planet who does not have some issue to deal with. So let us ask God, our gatekeeper, to unlock the gate of our pain and help us through to the hope and strength to deal with our disability at the other side.
