Touching, healing in Jesus

Colossians 1:1-8     <*((((><  +  ><))))*>     Luke 4:38-44

Lord Jesus,
I am angry like
most people in my country;
so angry with the rampant
corruption long been going on;
so angry why we have allowed
it to continue and worsened
that people are getting sick,
classes and work disrupted
by the floods because 
no flood control project was 
ever delivered despite being 
paid for by the government;
as I prayed,
I feel nothing had changed
since your time until now
still with so many people
seeking healing and comfort
from you.

At sunset, all who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him. He laid his hands on each of them and cured them. At daybreak, Jesus left and went to a deserted place. The crowds went looking for him, and when they came to him, they tried to prevent him from leaving them (Luke 4:40, 42).

Yes, dear Jesus,
the corruption and injustices
happening today are so sickening
but do not let these deviate my 
focus in you
whom I must follow always; 
use my hands as extension
of your healing hands,
of your comforting touch
to the sick and needy,
that I may restore them
to you,
in you;
you never remained in one place,
Jesus as you kept moving 
to bring hope and healing
to so many others forgotten
by their family and the society;
enlighten my mind
and my heart, Jesus
with your Holy Spirit
to imitate you
in going to a deserted place
to remain one in the Father
and most especially to find you
among the suffering
that the corrupt disregard.
Amen.
