Prayer

Abundant life,

On behalf of all those who are waiting on you for healing and hope, we come alongside them in prayer, right now, to implore your mercy and goodness. Fill them with the abundant life that your son came among us to share. Lift the spirits of the hurting that they might have courage and patience, strength and resilience, and to endure their trial with grace. Regardless of our position or role, give us eyes to see how we might be effective companions and caregivers, tending to them in mind, body, and spirit. Amen.
