Prayer to a Sympathetic Savior
Lord Jesus, I turn to You because I know that You understand. You have suffered more than I can imagine. You descended from Your glorious place into humiliation.

Grant me mental healing. Let my restored life be a testimony to Your mercy and kindness. Amen.

Please bring me the joy of my salvation and grant me freedom from my affliction in this world. I know that You care for me and can help me along my way in life. Amen.
