16. Wellness Prayer For A Sick Child
It is always hard for a parent to see their child suffering from any ailment, big or small. Even if it is just a fever, the loving heart of a parent bleeds to see the listless form of the child lying in bed battling the virus, infection or disease. It is for times like these that the following prayer has been channeled to invoke the presence and grace of the Divine creator.
Separate daughter and son versions have been provided below. Relatives of the child can also use this pray to support the child’s quick recover
Version for an ailing daughter
Dear Lord, I seek
Strength for our child, (daughter’s name)
Feeling infirm and weak
Cast your gaze upon her being
So it may wash away all impurities
Both seen and unseen
Beam your light upon her cells
So they may grow strong
And battle whatever makes her unwell
Place your hands upon her body
So you may heal all aspects
Of her soul, mind and body
Channel your strength to her mind
So she may endure bravely
And soon wellness find
Enfold your arms around her form
So she knows you are close
When she hurts or is forlorn
Let your mercy be upon her soul
Fortify her muscles, cells, bones and nerves
Bless her with your compassionate heart
So she may emerge from this illness
Stronger, better, wiser
Like a true brave heart
Version for an ailing son
Dear Lord, I seek
Strength for our child, (son’s name)
Feeling infirm and weak
Cast your gaze upon his being
So it may wash away all impurities
Both seen and unseen
Beam your light upon his cells
So they may grow strong
And battle whatever makes him unwell
Place your hands upon his body
So you may heal all aspects
Of his soul, mind and body
Channel your strength to his mind
So he may endure bravely
And soon wellness find
Enfold your arms around his form
So he knows you are close
When he hurts or is forlorn
Let your mercy be upon his soul
Fortify his muscles, cells, bones and nerves
Bless him with your compassionate heart
So he may emerge from this illness
Stronger, better, wiser
Like a true brave heart
