And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned. he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective." james 5:15-16
PRAYER FOR A SICK FRIEND
Dear Lord,
You know my Brother/Family member so much better than i do. You know Joey's sickness and the burden he carries. You also know his heart. Lord, I ask you to be with Joey now as you work in his life. Lord, let your Will be done in Joey's life. If there is a sin that needs to be confessed and forgiven, please help him see his need and confess.
Lord, I pray for Joey just as your Word tells me to pray, for Healing. I believe you hear this earnest prayer from my heart and that it is powerful because of your promise. I have faith in you, Lord, to heal Joey, but i also trust in the plan you have for his life.
Lord, i don't always understand your ways. I don't know why Joey has to suffer, but i trust you. I ask that you look with mercy and grace toward Joey. Nourish his spirit and soul in this time of suffering and comfort him with your presence.
Let Joey know you are there with him through this difficulty. Give him strength. and may you, through this difficulty, be glorified in his life and also mine. Amen.
CONSECRATION OF THE SICK TO MARY
O kind and good Mother,
whose own soul was pierced by the sword of sorrow,
look upon us while,
in our sickness, we arraign ourselves beside you on the Calvary where your Jesus hangs.
Dowered with the high grace of suffering, and hopeful of fulfilling in our own flesh what is wanting in our sharing of Christ's passion,
on behalf of his Mystical Body, the Church,
We consecrate to you ourselves and own pain.
We pray that you will place them on that altar of the Cross to which Jesus is affixed.
May they be little victims of propitiation for our salvation,
for the salvation of all peoples.
O mother of Sorrows,
accept this consecration.
Strengthen our HOPEFUL HEARTS,
that as partakers of Christ's sufferings we may also share in his comfort now and for evermore.
Amen.
MY ADDED PRAYER
Angel's East,
Angel's West,
North and South, just do your best.
To Guide Joey and Guide us while we rest.
Amen.
