Reflection

“Give me back the joy of your salvation, and a willing spirit sustain in me. O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall proclaim your praise.” –Psalm 51:12, 15

Prayer

Sustaining Spirit,

For those who are struggling to find wholeness in mind, body, or spirit today, we pray that you would restore them. For patients and families who are weakened by sickness and pain, sustain them with patience and peace. May we all be more willing to be instruments of your healing today, in word and in deed, so that the joy of your salvation will be manifest within and among us. So that our mouths will be freed to proclaim your goodness and mercy to a world in need. Amen.
