Devotion for May 1, 2008

O God, who dost forgive our iniquities and heal our diseases,
we cry unto thee.
Our strength has been brought low,
and we know not what the future
holds. In our bodies, there is pain;
in our souls there is anxiety and unrest.
If it may be, restore us to health.
We ask no miracle of deliverance,
and if in the order of nature our suffering must continue,
help us to accept it without rebellion.
If it must lead us toward the valley of the shadow,
help us to fear no evil, but to go bravely into thy nearer presence.
In thy good keeping, all is well.
Into thy hands we commend our bodies and our spirits.
Do with us as thou wilt. Amen.
