Prayer for Healing
(inspired by 2 Kings
5: 1-15, Luke 17:11-19)
O
God of compassion,
through
the witness of a captive maidservant
you
healed Naaman in the waters of the Jordan.
Through
Jesus you healed the lepers.
Heal
us so that we may follow Christ with joy,
giving
thanks with all our being. Amen.
