God of comfort and healing,
I lift up patient(s) who is/are struggling with illness.
Surround her/him/them with Your peace that quiets fear and restores strength.
Bring relief to their body, calm to their mind, and hope to their spirit.
Guide the hands and minds of all those providing care, and let Your presence be felt in every moment of weakness or worry.
Grant them courage for today, rest for tonight, and healing, in whatever form it comes. Let Your gracious presence be a source of renewed life and deep peace for them.
Amen.
