The prayer was written by Elizabeth:
"You who said, 'come unto me all ye who are
weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest', I come to you now. Lord
I am weary, mentally and physically. I am bone tired. I am all wound up.
Locked up tight with tension. I am too tired to eat, to tried to sleep,
to tired to think. Lord I am exhausted. Lord let your healing love flow
through me. Thank you!".
