Prayer of the Mentally Ill


Lord, Jesus, I offer You my mental illness and ask You to bless me with the courage and strength I need to endure it patiently and with grace.  Pour forth Your mercy upon me.  Send forth Your Holy Spirit and grant me clarity of mind so that I do not  disparage myself for being ill, but accept my illness and seek appropriate treatment.  Lord, let me not be a burden to those who love and care for me.  Grant us patience with one another and mutual acceptance. Heavenly Father, hold me in Your arms and keep me safe from all harm. Grant me Your peace.  And, Lord, if it is Your will, take this cross from me and bring me complete healing.  Amen.
