A Prayer for Someone Who is Sick



"O Father of mercies and God of all comfort,our only help in time of need; We humbly beseech thee to behold,visit,and relieve they sick servant(N.)
for whom our prayers are desired.Look upon him with the eyes of thy mercy; comfort him with a sense of thy goodness; preserve him from the temptations of the enemy; and give him patience under his affliction. In thy good time,restore him to health,and enable him to lead the residue of his life in thy fear,and to thy glory; and grant that finally he may dwell with thee in life everlasting;through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
(from The Book of Common Prayer,1928 Edition.)
