By your power

By your power, Great God,
our Lord Jesus healed the sick
and gave new hope to the hopeless.
Though we cannot command or possess your power,
we pray for those we want to be healed.
Mend their wounds, soothe fevered brows,
and make broken people whole again.
Help us to welcome every healing as a sign that,
though death is against us,
you are for us,
and have promised renewed and risen life
in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

Merciful God

Merciful God,
enfold those we care about in the arms of your love.
Comfort them in their anxiety,
Deliver them from despair,
give them patience to endure,
and guide them to choose wisely
in the name of hum who welcomed little children,
even Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
