A Prayer

for the sick

Here is a prayer by Spurgeon for those who are suffering physical illness:

Lord, bless the sick and make them well as soon as it is right that they should be. Sanctify to them all they have to bear. There are also dear friends who are very weak; some that are very trembling. God bless them… Lord, help us to sit very loose by all these things here below. May we live here like strangers and make the world not a house but an inn, in which we sup and lodge, expecting to be on our journey tomorrow.

Amen.
