A Prayer for Those Who Are Sick

A prayer for those who are sick, offered by Reverend Mark Creech of Christian Action League.

“Merciful God, whose blessed Son went about doing good; Uphold by your grace the people who minister to those sick with the coronavirus worldwide, and especially those who serve them within our own borders.

We pray that you will favor and grant success to the medical researchers who busily seek to find a vaccine, a cure. Grant to the physicians wisdom and skill, and to the nurses sympathy and patience.

We beseech you to protect all of them as they place themselves in harm’s way for the sake of others. We pray that you will relieve them of their anxieties and fatigue, and sustain them with the power of faith to move mountains and a superhuman strength for their protracted labors.

Give us the wisdom and determination to do nothing that would unnecessarily frustrate their current sweat and toil.

These things we ask through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.”
