A Prayer you may like to use as you prepare for worship
Father we thank you for healing those we know who have had life threatening illnesses. Breathe new strength
and life into them as they face a more certain future. We remember those whose progress is slow and often
painful and ask that you give them patience, determination and your peace as they receive treatment. For their
loved ones who care for them and watch over them we pray you will give them the strength they need at this
time. Amen.
Please remember in your prayers
and housebound’
