Lord, You invite all who are burdened to come to You. Allow your healing hand to heal me. Touch my soul with Your compassion for others. Touch my heart with Your courage and infinite love for all. Touch my mind with Your wisdom, that my mouth may always proclaim Your praise. Teach me to reach out to You in my need, and help me to lead others to You by my example. Most loving Father, Son and Holy Spirit bring me health in body and spirit that I may serve You with all my strength. Touch this life which You have created, now and forever. Amen.


1 Transgression speaks to the wicked deep in his heart;
   there is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes
   that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated.
3 The words of his mouth are trouble and deceit;
   he has ceased to act wisely and do good.
4 He plots trouble while on his bed;
   he sets himself in a way that is not good; he does not reject evil.
5 Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens,
   your faithfulness to the clouds.
6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;
   your judgments are like the great deep;
   man and beast you save, O LORD.
Psalm 36 English Standard Version
