Pray for the sick with this short prayer

When we are in good health, we should never forget to pray for the sick and those suffering.

Good health is a true blessing, but it is tempting to forget the suffering that the sick endure during such a time. It is simply not something that comes to mind. Whatever our situation might be, we should pause for a few moments each day to pray for the sick.

Prayers help, and when we aren’t medical professionals, sometimes prayers are the only help we can offer.

Here is a short prayer from the Golden Manual to pray for the sick, asking God to restore them to total health.

Short Prayer for the Sick

Heal your servants, O Lord, who are sick, and who put their trust in you.

Send them help, O Lord, and comfort them from your holy place.

O almighty and everlasting God, hear us on behalf of your servants who are sick;

for whom we humbly beg the help of your mercy;

that, their health being restored to them, they may render thanks to you.

Amen.
