Prayer in Time of Illness

Lord God, Master of my life! From Your mercy You said: "I do not desire the death of the sinner, but that he may repent and live". I know that this illness which I now endure is, perhaps, the natural consequence of my sins and transgressions, of unrighteous and evil deeds.

But, Lover of mankind, act with me not out of my anger, but out of Your boundless mercy. Grant me the necessary strength that I may not only bear this illness with dignity, fighting and refusing to accept it, but with firm faith and trust in You, all‑good and loving Father, may I ask for Your forgiveness of my errors, transgressions and faults, and with gratitude and hope await healing and restoration from this disease.

And most of all, that You would send me Your Holy Spirit, that by His inspiration, guidance and help I may sincerely repent—with all my heart, soul, mind and all my feelings—to You, Lord God, Creator and Heavenly Father of mine, and live to fulfill Your holy commandments and will, for the peace and tranquility of my relatives and loved ones and for their, and indeed my own, blessing and salvation by You. Amen.
