Jesus, lay your healing hand
upon the sick in body and in spirit;
you are the healer of this world’s ills;
with your Spirit,
anoint every one of us in our infirmity
and make us whole.
Amen.

New Testament Reading - Effects of prayer

thumb

13Is anyone among you suffering? He should keep on praying about it. And those who have reason to be thankful should continually be singing praises to the Lord.

14Is anyone sick? He should call for the elders of the church and they should pray over him and pour a little oil upon him, calling on the Lord to heal him. 15And their prayer, if offered in faith, will heal him, for the Lord will make him well; and if his sickness was caused by some sin, the Lord will forgive him.

16Admit your faults to one another and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous man has great power and wonderful results.

. . . . . James 5:13-16a

Our Father,
save us from the time of trial,
and deliver us from evil.

Dear Lord,
watch with those who wake or watch or weep tonight,
and give your angels charge over those who sleep;
tend your sick ones,
rest your afflicted ones, shield your joyous ones,
and all, for your love’s sake.
Amen
