Anointing of the Sick

If one of you is ill, he should send for the elders of the Church, and they must anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord and pray over him. The prayer of faith will save the sick man and the Lord will raise him up again; and if he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven.

[James 5:14-16]

Prayer

Father, I find it hard to accept this illness.

I am impatient. 

I find it hard to speak to anyone.

I find it hard to talk to you.

I am wrapped up in pity and worry for myself.

I worry over my health.

I worry about the things I would like to do,

ought to do, but now I cant.

At a time like this I find it hard 

to believe in you,

to trust in you, 

to love you.

And yet I want to believe, to trust, to love.

I know you really care for me.

I cast all my care upon you.

I leave myself entirely in your hands.

Not my will but yours be done.

Amen
