For Health and Healing

Almighty God,
you are the only source of health and healing.
In you there is calm,
and the only true peace in the universe.
Grant to each one of us your children
an awareness of your presence,
and give us perfect confidence in you.
In all pain and weariness and anxiety
teach us to yield ourselves to your never failing care,
knowing that your love and power surround us,
trusting in your wisdom and providence
to give us health and strength and peace
when your time is best;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Source: The Nazarene, Vols. 7-9, 1922

Original in traditional English:

Almighty God, who art the only source of health and healing, the spirit of calm and the central peace of the universe, grant to us Thy children, such a consciousness of Thy indwelling presence as may give us perfect confidence in Thee. In all pain and  weariness and anxiety may we throw ourselves upon Thy protecting care, that knowing ourselves fenced about by Thy loving omnipotence, we may permit Thee to give us health and strength and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
