Prayer based on Leviticus 15

O God of Our Fathers, we have sin sickness in body and spirit, and our disease seems to be communicable. We spread our illnesses to others we love. Help us, O God. Our condition is desperate. Take away our despair and grant to us a fresh awareness of the atonement. We are restored to fellowship with You and with Your church through the death of Jesus Christ. Grant healing to Your people. Bless our mortal bodies. Heal our broken spirits. Take away those things that cause vexation in our minds and make us vulnerable to attacks of the evil one. Lord, we ask for Your full blessing upon the marriages within Your church and throughout the world. There is so much potential for good within this close union of husband and wife. There is also much danger of evil and sorrow. Heal us, O Lord, and make us clean from all of our iniquities.
