A CRY FOR HEALING TO GOD

In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

 Amen

Glory be, to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,

world without end. AMEN

Jesus, you control all the parts of my body, and you know

 when they’re not working at their best. Sickness leaves me

 stressed and steals time from everything I want to do. I’m

 honest, Lord. I don’t like to be sick. But times like this

also make me rest in you, so I thank you for this chance

simply to wait on you.

I come to you today asking for your touch, Lord. Help me to

 be patient and allow you to do your work. If doctors are

 involved, give them wisdom, and thank you for providing

the help I need, however you choose to provide.

Whether this is a test, or simply a time to trust,

I want my response to honour you.

As my Good Shepherd, I know you will lead me beside

quiet places and restore my soul and body. I trust you

and want to follow your leading. Help me to welcome this

 time not as an interruption in my carefully planned schedule,

 but as an opportunity to draw strength and nourishment for

 the journey ahead. You are my healer and my Great Physician.

 I look to you and give thanks for the promises in your Word

that assure me of your presence and your help.

Teach me what you want me to learn during these unpleasant

times, Lord. Help me not to take out my discomfort on those

around me, and show me how to be a good patient while

I’m recovering. In these days of sickness, Lord, I’m trusting

 you and asking you to make me well. And when you’ve

 restored my health, give me wisdom so I can treat my body

as the temple of your Spirit. I am eager to get back on my

 feet serving you, but I realize that even in sickness,

 I can still draw near to you. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.

Glory be, to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,

world without end. AMEN
