Amen.

N, I anoint you with oil in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

As you are outwardly anointed with this holy oil, so may our heavenly Father grant you the inward anointing of the Holy Spirit. Of his great mercy, may he forgive you your sins, release you from suffering, and restore you to wholeness and strength.

55. For a Person in Trouble or Bereavement
O merciful Father, you have taught us in your holy Word that you do not willingly afflict or grieve humankind: Look with pity upon the sorrows of your servant for whom our prayers are offered. Remember him, O Lord, in mercy, nourish his soul with patience, comfort him with a sense of your goodness, lift up your countenance upon him, and give him peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
56. For the Victims of Addiction
O blessed Lord, you ministered to all who came to you: Look with compassion upon this person who through addiction has lost his health and freedom. Restore to him the assurance of your unfailing mercy; remove from him the fears that beset them; strengthen him in the work of his recovery; and to those who care for him, give patient understanding and persevering love. Amen.
From Thanksgivings for Family and Personal Life (BCP p. 841)
11. For the Restoration of Health
Almighty God and heavenly Father, we give thee humble thanks because thou hast been graciously pleased to deliver from his sickness thy servant N, in whose behalf we bless and praise thy Name. Grant, O gracious Father, that he, through thy help, may live in this world according to thy will, and also be partaker of everlasting glory in the life to come; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
From Common Worship (Church of England)
In the name of God and trusting in his might alone, receive Christ's healing touch to make you whole. May Christ bring you wholeness of body, mind and spirit, deliver you from every evil, and give you his peace. Amen.
