*_Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me._*
Psalm 23:4
*Prayer :*
You are strength and comfort to those who suffer. Let the prayers of Your children who are in trouble rise to You.
We claim Your promises of wholeness as we pray for those who are suffering and long for Your healing touch.
Make the weak strong, the sick healthy, the broken whole.
To everyone in distress, grant mercy, grant relief, grant refreshment.
Give us strength of purpose and concern for others, that we may create a community where Your will may be done.
God of compassion, You watch our ways, and weave out of terrible happenings wonders of goodness and grace.
Surround those who seeks You with a sense of Your present love, and hold them in faith.
May they find You and be comforted;
Through Jesus Christ who was dead, but lives and rules this world with You. Amen.
In Jesus' name, I pray.
