Prayer During Illness

O God and Father, I offer You my illness and suffering in union with the sufferings of Your Son, Jesus Christ. You willed that He should suffer for the salvation of the world. May I now strengthen my resolve to do God’s will and be an example to others who suffer.

If it is in Your plan, may I be restored to health so I can continue to serve You in holiness and wholeness. If not, give me the understanding to accept the cross, the humility to accept the help of others, and the grace to see Your purpose in all the events of my life. Amen.
