Leader:
Great Physician, you touched the lives of the sick and the troubled;
your hands rested on bodies in crisis;
your words soothed broken hearts.
We call on you today, O God, because we need your healing.

People:
When we have pain, bring relief.
When we are disoriented, bring clarity.
When we confront disease or brokenness, bring healing.
When we wait for tests or news, bring patience.

People:
When we live with barriers, bring courage.
When we are bound by addiction, bring freedom.
When illness separates us from others, bring friendship.
When we cannot make ends meet, help us.

Leader:
You are with us in loneliness, bringing comfort.
You are with us in despair, bringing hope.
You are the God who cares and heals.
