Thanksgiving for Restoration to Health

O LORD, Giver of all good, we render unto Thee thanks and praise for Thy kindness to this, Thy servant, whom Thou hast raised out of weakness and made to stand strong by Thy love. Thou hast been with him in sickness and in pain. Thou didst withdraw him from the world for a season that Thou mightest speak with him alone. And after his affliction, Thou hast comforted him. Thou hast turned his heaviness into joy, his mourning into gladness. For Thy mercy, we bless Thee. We pray that the time still left him may be consecrated anew to Thy service. Send him forth, O Lord, to the tasks of his daily life, but not without Thy blessing in his heart. In the joy of health be still his Guide and Guardian. Amid the trials and difficulties of his days, may he hear behind him that faithful word, saying, "This is the way. Walk ye in it." Grant that he may always keep this way and incline to Thy will, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
