But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us…made us alive together with Christ…

– Ephesians 2:4-5

Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am languishing

O LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

• 
  Psalm 6:2 (RSV2CE)
  

Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over

him, anointing him with oil in the name of the

Lord; and the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up…

• 
  James 5:14-15
