Liturgy for Prayer for Healing/Wholeness

Prayers for healing/wholeness

Gathering Call

 

We come to the sheltering of Father, Son and Holy Spirit

 

In our need and bringing with us the needs of the world.

 

We come to you, for you come to us in Jesus Christ,

 

You know the frailty of our human life.

 

We come with our faith and with our doubts.

 

We come with our hopes and with our fears

 

We come as we are, because you invite us to come;

 

And you have promised never to turn us away.

In the name of the Father,

and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen

 

Song/spoken:  

 

Your Kingdom come O Lord.

Your Kingdom come O Lord.

Your Kingdom come O Lord.

                        Your Kingdom come O Lord.

                                                                                                            (Russia)

Prayer of Confession

 

We call on the Father to strengthen and uphold us.

We call on the Son, to forgive and shield us.

We call on the Spirit,

To comfort and direct us

In love and adoration.

 

Have mercy Lord upon us,

Mighty God of grace.

Have mercy God upon us.

Let us see your face.

 

Have mercy Christ upon us,

Hear us from on high.

Have mercy Christ upon us,

May we know life in you.

 

Have mercy Lord upon us,

Spirit set us free.

Have mercy Lord upon us,

Bring us into liberty. Amen.

 

We share the peace of Christ among us.

 

Reading of the day – Meditation

(The passage will be read aloud twice. A question may be given to focus your meditation. Allow your thoughts to roam as God’s Spirit leads you. Relax in God’s presence, wait and listen)

 

Silence

 

Prayers for Healing/Wholeness (We stand (if we can) and place a hand on each person beside us in a circle. The leader will share names from the Prayer diary of those seeking prayer tonight. Once read the prayer below is shared. As the Cross(or other symbolic object) is passed, if you desire the prayer for you or another then hold the Cross and the group share the prayer below for you. Those next to you will have their hands on your shoulder. Then pass it on.)

 

Spirit of the living God,

present with us now,

enter you body, mind and spirit

And keep you from all that harms you,

in Jesus’ strong name. Amen.

 

We end praying:

Glory to the Father,

and to the Son,

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning,

is now, and will be forever. Amen.

 

Blessing one another as we go (sung or spoken)

 

God to enfold you, Christ to uphold you

Spirit to keep you in heaven’s sight.

So may God grace you, heal and embrace you,

Lead you through darkness into the light.

 

Amen
