Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful?Let him sing psalms. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call forthe elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil inthe name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will beforgiven. Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteousman avails much. (James 5:13-16)
Father in heaven, I am only righteous by the blood of Jesus. I pray in Jesus' name for my brother, Bill, that You will guide the hands of the surgeon and everyone involved with his surgery. Heal his body completely, and without pain. I pray this not for Bill, but for Your glory. Amen.
