In Time of Pain
O God, give me the strength I need, to bear my pain. Give me patience to endure this time of inactivity. Save me, from every weakness of self-pity and complaint. O God, I thank you for the health of body, for the peace of mind, for the strength of spirit.
Prayer for Healing
Dear God, who has promised never to leave nor forsake us, Grant, that in my weakness I may know myself to be surrounded by your power. When I am restless and Anxious, may I find Peace. Do for me what I cannot do for myself. When my heart condemns me grant me the grace of forgiveness. Fill my heart and mind with your healing and comforting presence.
For Sufferers
O Lord, who feels the world’s pain, and looks upon all sick and suffering persons, enfolding them with your love. Grant that in the midst of pain, they may find your presence. To doctors and nurses, grant tender hearts and healing hands. Give health again in body and soul. Teach me, to think of life as a continuing upward growth in which each trial or hardship can be used to reach a greater height of character. May I, have courage and trust. Amen.
Prayer Before An Operation
O Lord, into your fatherly hands, I commit my life completely with trust and confidence. To you I give my body that it may be healed. May I fall asleep peacefully in You. Guard me through the moments of unconsciousness. Guide the hands of the surgeon that your healing power may restore me.
Prayer After An Operation
O God, You did bear us up in health accept our gratitude. I was thirst and they gave me water, I was feverish and they bathed me. O God, I thank You. I was afraid and they comforted me, I was discouraged and they heartened me. I was lonely and they visited me. O God, I thank You. I was weary but now I am rested, I was weak but now I am strong, I was broken but now I am while. You are my judge; spare me and be merciful to my sins. You are my physician; heal all of my ills. You are my leader and my defender; place me by your side, and then I care not who lifts his hand against me. You are my Redeemer; redeem me form the power of evil and preserve me. You are my God and my All; for what have I in heaven but you, and what do I desire upon earth besides you? Lord Jesus, bless all those who are taking care of me in my illness, and give them the strength of your power in ministering to the needs of the sick. Bless, too, the other sick in this hospital, and give them the gift of patience and fortitude, which, I too, need so much. Father, I thank you.
Prayer In The Time Of Discouragement
Grant, dear Lord the light, that this darkness may pass from me and that I may rest in the light of your unfailing love. Give me, calm assurance that you are my shepherd and even when I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I need fear no evil. You have promised grace sufficient for every need, may I have the courage and hope, to commit myself entirely to you.
