Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing; O Lord, heal me, for my
soul is struck with terror. Psalm 6:2,3
The Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as
we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words.

Precious healer, we thank you for our bodies wonderfully made by you. We
depend on your healing power to restore our health and renew a right
spirit within us. Strengthen those of us who will receive a difficult
diagnosis today and let faith be our anchor. Amen.
