ALMIGHTY AND EVERLIVING GOD: Accept our prayers for these people afflicted and troubled with unhealthiness in their bodies, or in their hearts and souls, or in their minds and spirits. In Your Mercy, Lord, relieve them of and release them from their burdens; and grant them patience under their sufferings. And, if it be Thy Merciful and Loving Will, grant them an expedient and happy outcome from their trials. We ask all this in the Name of Your Son Jesus Christ, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God, now and forever. AMEN
