• Hebrew Prayer for Healing

  Mi shebeirakh avoteinu (May the Source who blessed our ancestors)
  ...v'yishlakh m'heirah (...send speedily)
  refu-ah sh'leimah min hashamayim...(a complete recovery from heaven...)
  refu-at ha-nefesh (a recovery of the spirit,)
  oo-refu-at ha-guf. (and a recovery of the body.)
  
  refu-ah is not just to heal but describes an ongoing process by which something or someone is gradually restored to wholeness, made whole from a broken condition, sewn or patched together,and/or joined or brought together. This notion of renewal allows an ailing person to feel fully alive and connected to YHWH even while he or she is facing a chronic condition or a recurring illness.
  
  
  Mi shebeirakh avoteinu (May the ONE who blessed our forefathers,)
  Avraham, Yitzhak, v'Ya-akov, (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,)

  Moshe, Aharon, Daveed, oo-Shlomo (Moses, Aaron, David, and Solomon)
  v'imoteinu Sara, Rivkah, Rakhel, v'Leah (and our foremothers Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah)

  yaara (Swylv) bat (daughter of yaval or Rhonda)

  yitain litz'dakah ba-avoorah. (those who are praying for me will contribute to charity on my behalf.)

  V'yish-lakh lah m'heirah (And may God send her speedily)

  refu-ah sh'leimah min hashamayim, (a return to wholeness from heaven)
  l'khal eivah-reh-ha, ool'khal gihdeha (for all her organs and blood vessels,)

  Eil nah refah nah lah - Please God, I pray, heal her now. Numbers 12:13
  
  Refah-einu Adonai v'nei-rafeh, hohshee-einu v'nivahshei-ah, kee t'hilahteinu atah, v'ha-alei refu-ah sh'leimah l'khal mahcoteinu, kee Eil melekh rofei neh-ehmahn v'rakhamahn atah. Barookh atah Adonai, rofei kholei ahmoh yisra-el.
  
  Heal us, Eternal One, then we will be healed; save us-then we will be saved, for You are our prayer. Bring complete recovery for all our ailments, for You are God, ruling force, the faithful and compassionate Healer. Blessed are You,Eternal One, Who repairs the ailing of Your people Israel.
  
  Please, YHWH, help me and guide me today on how to expand the healing life force in my body. If I am drawn to any thoughts, foods, stresse, or habits that can trigger health problems, please give me the wisdom and the self-discipline to steer clear of these hazards. I love life, and I want to continue to be of service everyday of this life You have given to me. Please, YHWH, may I be drawn to healing energies and to people and situations that nourishthe gifts You've given me. Amen.
  
  Read somewhere- I think in that 7 Biblical Truths book- that the verse
  Isaiah 40:31 - But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
  
  describes 3 ways a prayer can be answered.
  #1 - mount up with wings as eagles = immediately HE takes care of it
  #2 - they shall run, and not be weary = HE shows you what you need to do and will give you the strength and means to do it - I believe this is the case since HE keeps leading me to proper nutrition - it's even in HIS Word what we should and should not eat....
  #3 - they shall walk, and not faint = It may never get better but the LORD will help you through it.
  
  I know I am blessed, to be a child of YHWH and to have a DH and DS and home and live in America....but I don't know why the desire to have more children is so strong unless the LORD gave me the desire for some reason...I can't believe HE would give me this desire to never see it come to pass...
  and even if I don't get pregnant I don't see it wrong to improve the health of the body
  
  my son NOAH wants to be a big brother! He askes everyday when his little brother and sister are going to be here...in fact last summer he had to get a bunkbed and when asked why, he said his brother will need a place to sleep. I have also heard him ask Jesus for a brother and sister then say thank you and go right on playing.
  
  Musings told me: But to give up is just to give into the enemy, he doesn't want your family to grow...it would mean one more Christian solidier for him to fight...do you think he wants that?!
  NEVER listen to the voice that tells you to give up or to just do nothing. Do what you can do, begin where you can begin and go from there. I firmly believe that Yahweh only helps those who help themselves...It has nothing to do with what you believe but what you do shows what you believe! If you are not doing, then Yahweh has no proof you want it bad enough so why would He help? It's like Abraham willing to sacrifice Issac, you need to be willing to do everything and anything (within the moral bounds set by Yahweh) to get what you wish. Forget about what others think or say, this is about your body and it's between you and Yahweh.
  
  Beth Ann told me: Do anything else God tells you personally to do, and most of all - TRUST HIM to do His will in your life
