Prayer for the Sick and Shut-In

This has certainly been one whale-of-a winter and early spring season for many here in the United States! We even had snow (again) in Wisconsin this past weekend.

Along with the long winter came many illnesses. Some people are still 'down' and trying to recover. Please join with the American Bible Society's Circle of Prayer in this petition for these friends:


Heavenly Father, we pray today for the sick and shut-in. We ask that You send Your healing power down upon them and make them whole. Comfort them, O Lord, and be with them in their isolation. Strengthen them in Your Word and the promise of eternal salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ.

We ask that You fill our hearts with compassion for those who need our help. Help us to see past our selfishness and be good servants so that we will be worthy when we are weak and crying out for succor.

These things we pray in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen
