Prayers of a Sick Person

Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior, You became man and died on the cross for our salvation. You healed people of sickness and affliction through Your love and compassion. Visit me, Lord and grant me strength to bear this sickness with which I am afflicted, with patience, submission to Your will and trust in Your loving care. I pray that You will bless the means used for my recovery and those who administer them. Grant that my sickness may be to my spiritual benefit and that I may live the rest of my life more faithfully according to Your will. For You are the source of life and healing and to You I give praise and glory, now and forever. Amen.

Lord, Jesus Christ our Savior, Physician of souls and bodies who became man and died on the cross for our salvation, and who healed mankind of sickness and affliction through Your tender love and compassion, visit me, Lord in my suffering and grant me strength to bear this sickness with which I am afflicted, with Christian patience and submission to Your will, trusting in Your loving kindness and tender mercy.  I pray that You will bless the means being used for my recovery, and those who administer them.  I know, Lord, that I justly deserve any punishment You may inflict upon me, because I have so often offended You and sinned against You in thought, word and deed.  therefore, I humbly pray that you will look upon my weakness, and will deal with me not according to my sins, but according to the multitude of Your mercies.  Have compassion on me, and allow mercy and justice to meet, and deliver me from this sickness and suffering that I am undergoing.  Grant that this sickness will become the reason for me to live my like according to Your will, that I might spend the rest of my days in Your love and fear; that my soul, being helped by Your grace, and sanctified by Your Holy Mysteries, may be prepared for its passage into Eternal Life, and there, in the company of Your Blessed Saints may praise and glorify You, with Your Eternal Father, and Life-giving Spirit.  Amen.  

Christ, our only Defender, I pray that You descend quickly from heaven and visit Your suffering servant; deliver me from my sickness and bitter pains;  raise me up so I might sing to You and praise you without ceasing.  I ask this of You who alone loves mankind, through the prayers of the Theotokos.  Amen.

Lord, the great Comforter of those who suffer, I ask that You accept the prayers which I offer to You in my affliction.  You have permitted this sickness to come upon me so that I might be chastened.  It is You who sends down upon us both affliction and consolation.  You are the Lord of life and health, and You alone can raise me up from my bed of sickness.  Without Your gracious help I cannot hope to recover.  It is true that I am a sinner who is unworthy of Your mercy;  but, because of Your goodness, You receive everyone who turns to you with a humble and contrite heart.  My Lord, Jesus Christ, have mercy on me.  Say to me as You said to the man who was sick with palsy:  "your sins are forgiven."  Surely, I will not forget the warning which You gave to the paralyzed man:  "sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you."  My health is in your hands:  You need only say the word and I will be well again.  However, if it is Your decision that it be otherwise, then let You will be done;  only you control my fate, Lord, in life as well as in death.  You know best what leads to my well-being You have favored me with many blessings throughout my life;  and, I pray, that You will not forsake me now, in this time of my sickness.  Once again, I cry to You;  Lord:  May Your will be done.  Amen

Lord, Jesus Christ, Physician of souls and bodies, Who makes us humble and heals us; visit with mercy Your (servant/handmaid)__________.  Stretch Your loving hand of healing.  Restrain the spirit of weakness, cast off every soreness, every fever and pain.  Lord, have compassion on Your creation, for You are blessed, now and for evermore. Amen.
