Here’s a prayer of
petition and commitment inspired by the suggested scripture readings for
Epiphany 5, Year B. It comes from the Vanderbilt Divinity Library website.
Prayer
(inspired by Isaiah 40:28-31, Mark 1:29-39)
Everlasting God,
you give strength
to the powerless
and power to the
faint;
you raise up the
sick
and cast out
demons.
Make us agents of
healing and wholeness,
that your good news
may be made known
to the ends of your
creation. Amen.
