Dear Lord,
Place your loving hand on all those persons who today are ill or in need of compassion and care. Lighten their burdens. Work in their lives. Heal them body, mind or spirit.

May all who are ailing trust in your goodness and find hope in your faithfulness, even in the middle of this suffering. Let them be filled with patience and joy in your presence as they wait for your healing touch.

May your will be done in their lives. Amen.
