Some Things to Remember During Times of Illness


"Our Heavenly Father,in His love for all men,useth sickness as a gracious means whereby to correct his children."
"Our Lord Jesus Christ,ever present with us,is ready to impart to us spiritual strength to use sickness well to the glory of God."
"Our Lord,manifested in the Gospel as the healer of disease,is still ready to minister grace for the healing of the body."
"The aim of the Christian,whether in health or in sickness,is that God may be glorified in Him through Jesus Christ."
"In sickness as in health we are to seek constantly the inspiration of God,the Holy Ghost,the Spirit of Christ."
(from The Scottish Book of Common Prayer,1929 Edition).
In time of sickness and trial we should first seek Him.
