I’ve posted this before, but it felt appropriate to do so again: prayers for healing, taken from the Church of England’s Common Worship: Daily Prayer. For those of us who struggle to pray in our own words, especially on such a sensitive topic, I hope this will be helpful:
Holy God, in whom we live and move and have our being,
we make our prayer to you, saying,
Lord, hear us.
Lord, graciously hear us.Grant to [N and] all who seek you
the assurance of your presence, your power and your peace.
Lord, hear us.
Lord, graciously hear us.Grant your healing grace to [N and] all who are sick
that they may be made whole in body, mind and spirit.
Lord, hear us.
Lord, graciously hear us.Grant to all who minister to the suffering
wisdom and skill, sympathy and patience.
Lord, hear us.
Lord, graciously hear us.Sustain and support the anxious and fearful
and lift up all who are brought low.
Lord, hear us.
Lord, graciously hear us.Hear us, Lord of life.
Heal us, and make us whole.Almighty God,
whose Son revealed in signs and miracles
the wonder of your saving presence:
renew [N, N, … and] and all your people
with your heavenly grace,
and in all our weakness
sustain us by your mighty power,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
