The Healing Song – performed by Andre Forbes
A Series of Prayers acknowledging our faith in the Lord, His love for us and our children. As Scripture states Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” Matt. 19:14. Trust in Him. May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Rom. 15:13.
Sick child
Lord Jesus Christ, Good Shepherd of the sheep, You gather the lambs in Your arms and carry them in your bosom: We commend to Your loving care this child. Relieve his pain, guard him from all danger, restore to him your gifts of gladness and strength, and raise him up to a life of service to you. Hear us, we pray, for Your dear Name’s sake.
Surgery
Almighty Lord our heavenly Father, graciously comfort Your young servant in his suffering, and bless the means made use of for his cure. Fill his heart with confidence that, though at times he may be afraid, he yet may put his trust in you; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Recovery
O Lord of heavenly powers, by the might of Your command You drive away from our bodies all sickness and all infirmity: Be present in Your goodness with Your servant, that his weakness may be banished and his strength restored; and that, his health being renewed, he may bless Your holy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Lord, Your compassions never fail and Your mercies are new every morning: We give You thanks for giving our brother both relief from pain and hope of health renewed. Continue in him, we pray, the good work You have begun; that he, daily increasing in bodily strength, and rejoicing in Your goodness, may so order his life and conduct that he may always think and do those things that please You; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

May God the Father bless you, God the Son heal you, God the Holy Spirit give you strength. May God the holy and undivided Trinity guard your body, save your soul, and bring you safely to His heavenly country; where He lives and reigns for ever and ever.
Amen
