Illness

A Prayer:

O merciful Father, who hast taught us in thy holy Word that
thou dost not willingly afflict or grieve the children of men:
Look with pity upon the sorrows of thy servant for whom
our prayers are offered. Remember him, O Lord, in mercy,
nourish his soul with patience, comfort him with a sense of
thy goodness, lift up thy countenance upon him, and give
him peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
 

A Reading

    123  Dominus regit me   
1 The LORD is my shepherd; *
    I shall not be in want.
 
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures *
    and leads me beside still waters.
3 He revives my soul *
    and guides me along right pathways for his Name's sake.
   
4 Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I shall fear no evil; *
    for you are with me;
    your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
   
5 You spread a table before me in the presence of those
                             who trouble me; *
    you have anointed my head with oil,
    and my cup is running over.
   
6 Surely your goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days
                             of my life, *
    and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
