Sick Friend
God of life, Lord of
healing and wholeness.
Someone I care about is
ill and I am deeply concerned for them.
In the quietness of my
heart, I name them before you now………..
They are struggling;
they are anxious and afraid,
and I feel so helpless
As your Son, Jesus,
ministered to the sick during his earthly life,
touch them now with
those healing hands.
Reassure them with your
presence and enfold them in your boundless love.
May the healing power of
your Spirit flow through their bodies
and calm their troubled
minds,
bringing healing,
wholeness and peace.
Bless the doctors and
medical staff who are caring for them.
Guide them as they seek
to discover what is wrong,
and use their knowledge,
experience and skill to make them well again.
As the days and weeks pass
may the one I care about grow in strength
and improve in health until
they are really well.
Lord, hear my
prayer. Amen.
