Prayer For Someone Dying Of Cancer
O our Father, the Sky, hear us and make us strong. O our Mother the Earth, hear us
and give us support. O Spirit of the South, may we tread your path of life. O Spirit of the West,
may we always be ready for the long journey. O Spirit of the North, purify us with your cleansing winds.
Holy Spirit, Spirit of the Living God, You breathe in us, / On all that is inadequate and fragile, /
You make living water spring even from our hurts themselves. And through You, the valley of tears becomes a place of wellsprings. / So, in an inner life / With neither beginning nor end,
Your continual presence / Makes new freshness break through.
O Lord, Your mercies are new to me every day! I give You thanks for the renewing of my health, for the relief from pain and worry. Continue Your healing within me, that I may return to the work You have given me to do for You. Through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.
O God of all hope, whatever happens during this day is in Your hands. Strengthen me in my weakness, give skill to those who minister to me, and grant me confidence and faith in Your healing power. Through Jesus Christ my Lord I pray. Amen.
