Prayer of Faith when Sick: My Heart Yearns For Him
Job 19:13-27, The Holy Bible

( This is a classic inspirational passage from the Bible. This is Job's conclusion after a long, pessimistic dissertation about his sickness and its prognosis. He however, does not lose faith in God.)

He has alienated my brothers from me; 
my acquaintances are completely estranged from me. 
My kinsmen have gone away; 
my friends have forgotten me. 
My guests and maidservants count me as a stranger; 
They look upon me as an alien. 
I summon my servant, but he does not answer 
though I beg him with my own mouth. 
My breath is offensive to my wife; 
I am loathsome to my own brothers. 
Even the little boys scorn me; 
when I appear, they ridicule me. 
All my intimate friends detest me; 
Those I love have turned against me. 
I am nothing but skin and bones; 
I have escaped with only the skin of my teeth.

I know that my Redeemer lives, 
and that in the end he will stand upon the earth. 
And after my skin has been destroyed 
yet in my flesh I shall see God; 
I myself will see him 
with my own eyes- I, and not another. 
How my heart yearns within me!
