Oh God, our Heavenly Father, Thank you for all your many blessings.
In today’s Gospel a leper came and knelt before your Son and said, “Lord, if you wish, you can make me clean.”
Your Son stretched out his hand, touched him, and said, “I will do it. Be made clean,” and at once the man was healed.
I come to you in the same way today, dear Father, kneeling and trusting, saying that if you wish, you can make me clean and whole.
Stretch out your hand to me and to my family, touch what is broken in us, and say the word that heals.
Your word reminds me that Christ took away our infirmities and bore our diseases, so I lay every infirmity I carry at your feet.
Even when the walls around me are breached and the things of this world are carried away, as Jerusalem of old was carried away, let me never forget you or place anything ahead of you.
Thank you for the blessings I have already received, and thank you for the blessings still coming toward me, my household, and all I love.
Provide for me, for mine, and for my family with your abundance, your wealth, and your mighty force.
Comfort me and calm every worry, and steady my heart in the midst of trouble.
Repair what is tottering, restore what has been broken in body, mind, and spirit, and make me whole again.
Strengthen me with your strength, fill me with your wisdom, and guide me by your light.
Heal me and heal those I love, and let your healing reach far beyond what I can see.
Forgive me my trespasses and my many shortcomings, as I forgive those who trespass against me, and release the burdens I carry so I may walk free.
Keep your hand upon me and my family, and deliver us from all evil.
We also have a silent request.
We offer you a promise of this quiet act of mercy shown to another today, and we ask that you accept it.
I lift up my family, my friends, and all your children, and I place their needs and their well-being into your care.
Watch over them, provide for them, and draw them close to you.
I surrender myself and all that I am to you, trusting fully in your will.
Bless me, bless my family, and bless all who hope in you.
We pray these things to you our Lord God, through Christ. And It Is So.
