God our strength,
For the sake of patients and families, some of whom may be fearing a poor prognosis… For the sake of colleagues and teammates, struggling to accomplish their many demands while nonetheless striving to be good help to people in need… For the sake of our family and friends who have their own burdens to bear… For all our sake, Lord, help us to stand on your promises and fear not. Be our refuge and strength today and every day, that we may see your goodness around us even in times of distress. Blessed be your name forever! Amen.
