A prayer

A pastor recently diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma wrote this prayer: 

"Strong and Tender God, you are the source of all wholeness. Fill my heart with trust in your love, my mind with thoughts of your goodness, my spirit with hope, and my heart with joy. Give me courage to face pain, strength to carry weakness, and help, from you and other whom you send, to bear what I cannot bear alone. Use the drugs I take as agents of your; cause my body to receive them as good news of liberation from illness. Set my blood cells free from the burden of disease they carry and let them flow with energy and vitality. Make it possible for my bone marrow to work under conditions of freedom and for the sake of life, rather than under the tyranny of destruction and for the cause of death. Give me everything I need to live the life you are calling me to live; through Jesus, my Lord and Friend, Amen." 

Rev. Dr. Guy Sayles
