Bless Us with an Able Body and a Sound Mind
A Prayer for Wholeness from Scripture
Bless us, O Lord, with a body that is able—
Strong to work, to serve, to love, to walk,
Not for vanity or pride, but for the purpose You have set before us.
Let our hands be steady for the tasks You give,
Our feet swift to carry good news,
Our limbs enduring in the race of faith.
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in every way and be in health, just as your soul prospers. (3 John 1:2, AMP)
Bless us with a sound mind—not anxious, not divided,
Not tossed by every wind of doubt or fear.
Let our thoughts be clear, our minds at peace,
Our judgment rooted in Your wisdom.
Guard us from confusion, from the torment of worry,
From the lies that whisper we are not enough.
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7, NKJV)
Bless our bodies with strength,
Our minds with clarity,
Our spirits with the peace that passes understanding.
Let health flow through our bones,
And quietness settle in our hearts.
May we have the energy to serve,
The focus to pray,
The endurance to love when it costs.
Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. (Proverbs 3:7-8, NIV)
We do not ask for comfort only,
But for the ability to do Your will.
An able body to run the race,
A sound mind to choose the right,
A yielded heart to trust You wholly.
Bless us, Lord, with wholeness—
Not perfection, but preparedness;
Not immunity from pain, but strength to overcome;
Not a life without struggle, but a mind stayed on You.
You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You. (Isaiah 26:3, NIV)
So we receive Your blessing—
Body and mind, soul and strength.
For Your glory and our good,
In Jesus’ name.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7, NIV)
Amen.
