Thin Space
This week on Prayer Hour we’re going out and about!
We’re going to be praying outside government buildings, outside health centres, outside businesses, outside care homes, outside schools and outside churches. Praying that God will bless them, guide them and give them oodles of wisdom in this time of pandemic.
Philippians 4:6-7 - The Message
Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the centre of your life.
Health Centres and Workers
Father God we come to you now, we still ourselves in your presence and cast our cares on you!
Pray
We Pray:
For the sick and infected: God, heal and help. Sustain bodies and spirits. Contain the spread of infection.
For our vulnerable populations: God, protect our elderly and those suffering from chronic disease.
For the poor, especially the uninsured across the world who will struggle to receive treatment, Lord please provide for them.
For those with mental health challenges who feel isolated, anxious, and helpless: God, provide them every necessary support.
For frontline health care workers, we thank you for their vocational call to serve us.
We also pray: God, keep them safe and healthy. Keep their families safe and healthy.
God, help them to be knowledgeable about the diagnosis and treatment of this disease, as well as the changing protocols.
God, help them to stay clear-minded in the midst of the surrounding panic.
God, deliver them from anxiety for their own loved ones (aging parents, children, spouses, roommates).
God, give them compassion for every patient in their care.
God, provide for them financially, especially if they fall ill and are unable to work.
God, help Christians in health care to exhibit extraordinary peace, so that many would ask about the reason for their hope. Give them opportunities to proclaim the gospel.
Pray the words of this song over our broken world today:
