Welcome to HealingPsalm.com

This is a place for people of all faiths to find resources for prayer and spiritual support in times of illness.

We invite you to share your stories about your experiences with prayer and illness. We invite you to post names of people who are ill and in need of prayer. We invite you to comment on the modern psalms by Debbie Perlman that are presented here.

HealingPsalm.com believes that prayer is a valuable adjunct to appropriate medical treatment. Prayer supports us. It recognizes that healing doesn't always mean curing. Sometimes healing helps us find ways of achieving peace
with our limitations.

The Hebrew word 'shalom' is commonly translated as 'peace.' But it also means wholeness and completeness. The Hebrew prayer for healing asks for 'refuah ha-guf' a healing of body; 'refuah ha-nefesh' - a healing of spirit; 'refuah sh'lemah' - a complete healing.

HealingPsalm.com believes that prayer can help us achieve that place where we feel comfort and
assurance.

Hello
Peace to all ! This is very exciting to
have such place to share in the love of
God ! Thank you!

If anyone can help please e-mail me at cheer1226@aol.com!! I really need people who cares help. Thanks. Please contact me as soon as possible thank you so much.

I have a niece (named Thelma) who was paralized in 1997 at the age of 17 from bacterial meningitis. Her faith in God sustained her through many difficult periods of adjustments and stays in various hospitals. She graduated in June 1998 from high school located in Sandy Springs, Georgia (outside of Atlanta,Georgia). I am requesting your prayers and if you have time please e-mail her a few words of encouragement. At the present time there is a drug that shows promise but due to FDA standards it maybe pulled from the market in the near future. Her e-mail address is(siskmcgh@bellsouth.net). Your in Christ Glinda T.

Two years ago, my husband walked out on me, and our 3 children. I had no job, no money, and no place to live. God has blessed me with a job to meet the needs for my family and a nice place to stay. He also has made a way for me to go to college and get a better education. He has healed my broken heart, i don't have ill feeling against my husband. But god has given me purpose. Hallelujah!

My brother, 38 year old, Barry Brumer (Binyamin ben Tziril v Yonaton) father to 20 month old Matthew and
husband to Marsha, is battling stomach cancer. If everyone who reads this posting could add him to your
prayers, say a mishaberach for a refuah sh'lemah,
(a complete healing) prayer for him, my family and I would appreciate your support. I really believe in the power of prayer to help make a change.

Im brachot (with blessings).

Please pray for me as I am in need of a mishaberach for a refuah sh'lemah. I suffer from degenerative spinal disease, and facing surgery that is going to be very hard to go through, and the recovery period is one year. Please keep me in your prayers, for I am close to surgery deadline, and pray G-d will restore me before that date. In Christ, Trish. (Shalom)

Please add my husband to your prayers, Sender ben Chaim Leib, he was diagnoised with pancreatic cancer on October 1st, 1998. We have two children, 15 year old son and a 12 year old daughter. Our daughter will become a Bat Mitzvah, March 13, 1999 and our son will celebrate his confirmation in the Spring. My husband is fighting to see his children reach these milestones. I pray his prayers will be answered.

God,hear our prayers and send healing to our loved one.

Reading all the messages, I realise that I am not alone.

To Carol Bumer re your brother Barry.

I have a friend who 10 years ago had a total gastrectomy for stomach cancer. He had a stormy passage for about a year but now has regained his health and strength and excercises every day.

I will remeber Barry in (my namesake) in m prayers.

I was diagnosed with lung cancer and bone metasteses in my spine and hip. I had a course o radiotherapy and chemotherapy and have since required extensive surgery for an unrelated condition.

I pray every day and read Psalms. I have redicovered myself and God.

Man strangers have prayed for me. I pray every night for help and cure and for my friends an colleagues as well as my enemies that God should enlighten them.

God Bless you all who proay to help others.

Shalom

Chaim Mordechai ben Ben Benjamin haCohen ve Dobrush.

Please pray for me as I have a gambling addiction which I have been battling for years and I love the Lord deeply but cannot seem to overcome this stronghold. It has consumed my life. So many times I feel like Paul, wanting to do the right thing but never sustaining that obediance.

I have been interceding for a long time for a friend, Betty Metz. She has pulmonary hypertension, an incurable (by man) disease. I have been praying Psalm 91, and believing Matthew 9:22 for healing. Please help me lift her to our Lord Jesus, that she will be healed.
I'm glad I found you. Thank you so much.
Darrell Phillips.

Bless all who have prayed for our family and continue to menction my husband, Sender ben Chaim Leib, in their prayers. You give us strength, courage and continue to light our way.

As our daughter's Bat Mitzvah nears, we pray that it will be a day filled with celebration of the study of Torah and embrace us with the love of family and friends that gather to join us for this simcha.

With love and prayers for healing to all,

Hello:
My name is Kathryn, and I am asking prayer for my Dad who is in Intensive Care, my Uncle Pat (Dad's older brother) who suffered a stroke on March 11 and my Grandfather, who also suffered a stroke on March 19. Our entire family has drawn strength from each other and we are praying for continued success for my Uncle Pat and that my dad will pull through fast and be back home soon. My grandfather is showing no signs of improvement from the stroke, and we are praying for strength for him and for peace. He is nearly 90 years old and has always had great strength, he is really tired, but eager to go back home, but it doesn't look like that will be possible. We are asking for prayer for all of us, strength, peace and good health as well as we care for our family.

Again, I too wish everyone, Shalom.

Kathryn

Hullo,

My name is Susie and I have read all the messages and feel strengthened to see that faith and prayer do help, and that many are already healed and have found peace.Pl. pray for my husband,George who has a a weak lung and nothing has been conclusively diagnosed.He was a heavy smoker for many, many years and has just given up. Please pray that he will develop a strong faith and have a positive attitude towards life and me and be open to the Holy Spirit. I would like prayers that he is healed physically and spiritually.Shalom. Susie

To everyone who has been so kind as to send a message:

Your words about Healing Psalms and about your faith inspires me and encourages me to continue writing and sharing my words with you.

Please always send us the names of your loved ones and then, if possible, keep us up to date. Sometimes, I know, our prayers don't result in the kind of physical healing that we hope for. But we can also feel strength from one another, and know that we aren't alone as we face adversity. And we also know that even when we pray by ourselves we are not alone, because God is on the listening end.

As the earth warms to spring, I pray that all our hearts will know the warmth of human kindness and the support of this special electronic community.

B'shalom, Debbie

Please remember Edward Abelson in your prayers tonight.
He is fighting for his life in an ICU in Macon, Georgia. His mother's prayer is that he be made well, and if that is not to be, that he die peacefully, knowing he is loved. May he be wrapped in God's loving embrace as we hold him up in prayer.

Many thanks, shalom

Please pray for my mother, Phyllis Lerner, in Youngstown, Ohio. She suffers from Parkinson's Disease. It advanced really quickly, and she has been having a difficult time. Please also pray for my father, Mandel Lerner, who has intersistial cystitis (spelling?), which is very painful. He also suffers from depression, and has been having a hard time with my mother being ill. Finally, please pray for my brother, David Lerner, in Phoenix, Arizona. He suffers with sleep apnea. He also has had a difficult time finding and keeping a job. He gets laid off or leaves because he is not happy there.

I hope everybody on this list has a Happy Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

Thank you.

Wishing everyone a healthy New Year and praying that
all will find strength during this holiday season to
sustain them during the new year. Once again, cancer
has found it's way into our lives so soon after the
passing of my beloved husband, Sandor. My Aunt has been
diagnosed with lung cancer after nine years of good
health as a breast cancer survivor. Please include her
in your prayers, Baila bat Shumul V'Rivka.

May healing find it's way to all.

Prayers of comfort are needed for one having a major surgery in October 1999.

Please send us the name of the person undergoing surgery.

I would like prayer for my friend Jean-Pierre who is entering hospital for lung cancer surgery at beginning of November. He is having one lung removed. It is a recurrence of cancer which was originally diagnosed a few years ago. I would like prayer that he starts to seek G-d for comfort and healing and that G-d allow him to recuperate well from the surgery and that his body, mind and spirit are brought into balance and good health.

I found this BBS when I searched for the term "mishaberach." My mother Lucille Elman, has suffered a massive stroke. Her husband, three children (including me) and two adult grandchildren (my son & daughter) are by her side, and she seems to be making remarkable progress. We have been saying various prayers for and with her, but I didn't have the text of the traditional mishaberach prayer, so I figured I'd look on the Internet.

Those who read this note are invited to add Lucille to your prayers.

Thanks to this Webmaster for providing this forum of support and spiritual energy.

I would like to be prayed for, due to this illness of depression that constantly try to harbor over me at anytime, I'am a born again saint that I continue to rebuke the enemy that try to place that strong hold on my life to attempt to stop God's work to be performed by me.

Hello,
I contracted M.E., a chronic illness, around 1988 which, since worsening in 1991, has necessitated me spending approx 90% of my life in bed-rest and isolation. At one stage I lost just about everything in my life that I considered valuable and expressive of who I was-- including friends, career, home and other possessions, hobbies and abilities-- even some family members deserted me.

In the past 5 years, with God's help, I have managed to stabilise the illness and make a new life for myself, so that although I live with the same physical limitations there is a new joy and peace budding within me.

However I would dearly love to be physically healed and ask that you pray for me. Thankyou-- and shalom to all,

Louise (Dvorah bat Avraham avienu)

I wanted to contact Debbie Perlman and tell her how much I appreciated talking to her several months ago online. My son had been sick and I was questioning God andshe was very helpful. She herself is an inspiration in her faith in God.

I am doing an investiagtion into Psalms and am interested to find out if anybody has any comments to make about the message within the psalms, and how it has helped you. Also, if you have any points of discussion or disagree with anything portrayed in the psalms, and feel they are outdated I would like to hear your comments. Thankyou, Sarah

I am a writer putting the finishing touches on a book about prayer and healing. I am looking for a text of the traditional mishaberach prayer and have not been able to find it. Can anyone reading this board help me? Please e-mail me the text if you know it, at rhenders@bcpl.net. My deadline has already passed, so I need this information ASAP. Thank you, and happy Passover to all. --Randi

Please include me in your prayers for a complete and speedy recovery. It is so difficult to be a young woman (35) struggling with cancer. Many days I am overcome with anger, resentment, and fear. I see so many friends having babies and try not to cry as I go for "treatment." I try to pray to G-d for strength but my faith is really being tested.

I have retinal vein occlusion of the right eye. I am undergoing medical treatment, but recently I discovered a new procedure on the internet that offered the best and convincing treatment available currently. So I sent a message to the doctors about the cost of the new treatment. Unfortunately I cannot affort the cost which is close to $9000.00. Besides I have to travel to the US from my country Ghana. I cannot afford the cost, but I know the Lord can heal me. Please pray earnestly to the Lord for me to be healed. I know that Jesus is able.

My wife Barbara has been diagnosed with overine cancer in May 2001. We have decided to trust God for her complete healing without the route of surgery. We continue to trust God daily and we are seeing signs of complete recovery. During these times we learn to put our complete trust in the Lord and to be obedient to him. We can't wait to declare complete recovery. We do believe that by the stripes of Jesus we are healed. Please join us in praying on her behalf. I will keep you informed of the progress.

Hello
My name is Sheila
I just found out in November my Husband Grant has Cancer, They told me there was nothing more they can do for him so they have sent him home to die and it is very hard on me for you see we've been married for 32 Years. He only weighs about 70 pounds if that.He is now on liquid Morphine plus the pills as well.We have two Sons and a Adopted Daughter they have no idea as to how sick their father is, He also has two daughters from his first marriage and they don't even care either which I think this is very cold hearted for his daughters to be like this all they are after is what they can get their hands on.
I have been taking care of him since he left the hospital.I lost my brother to Aids about a year ago and I was there for him when crossed over to the other side, and I will do the same for my husband Grant, he is only 52 years old and to me that is still young in my books.I will keep everyone in my Native Prayers and in my thoughts each and everyday.

Yours truly

Sheila

Sheila,

I read your e-mails, and I will respond soon. I lost my Mom on Monday 17 June at 0330 am hours. She was my life. Barbara G

As September arrives let us fall on our knees for
the work to be done in schools, with teachers and
children. Learning communities are being
created. Let us join in prayer for the goodness and
blessing of our LORD. Let the children learn
peace. Let the classrooms be supportive of the
working of the Spirit of God.

i would like to pray for all who read this that the spirit of God would work in your hearts and minds and draw you ever near to Jesus. He is the light of all darkness and is always with you through all of your day. Look to him for guidance and continue in conversation with your Lord. He wants us to come to him as little children. Share your every moment with him both joyous and disappointment. He's your father.

God Bless!!!

Debbie and Family,
We send you prayers of healing on this Thanksgiving Day. May all that you have given through your beautiful healing psalms come back to you. I pray for your continued strength and courage. Know that our prayers are with you today and always.

With love and healing,
Carol, Simon and Becca
