Prayer from Our Wholeness and Healing Services


God the Father,
your will for all people is health and salvation.
We praise and bless you, Lord.

God the Son,
you came that we might have life,
and have it more abundantly.
We praise and bless you, Lord.

God the Holy Spirit,
you make our bodies the temple of your presence.
We praise and bless you, Lord.

Holy Trinity, one God,
in you we live and move and have our being.
We praise and bless you, Lord.

Grant to all who are lonely, anxious or depressed
a knowledge of your will and an awareness of your presence.
Hear us, Lord of life.

Grant to all who minister to those who are suffering
wisdom and skill, sympathy and patience.
Hear us, Lord of life.

Mend broken relationships,
and restore to those in distress soundness of mind and serenity of spirit.
Hear us, Lord of life.

Sustain and support those who seek your guidance
and lift up all who are brought low by the trials of life.
Hear us, Lord of life.

Grant to the dying peace and a holy death,
and uphold by the grace and consolation of your Holy Spirit
those who are bereaved.
Hear us, Lord of life.

Restore to wholeness whatever is broken by human sin,
in our lives, in our nation, and in the world.
Hear us, Lord of life.

You are the Lord who does mighty wonders.
You have declared your power among the peoples.

With you, Lord, is the well of life
and in your light do we see light.

Hear us, Lord of life:
heal us, and make us whole.

Let us pray.
Silence
O Lord our God,
accept the fervent prayers of your people;
in the multitude of your mercies
look with compassion upon us     
and all who turn to you for help;
for you are gracious, O lover of souls,
and to you we give glory,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
now and forever.  Amen.
