Dear Lord of mercy, hear our prayer,
You are strength to those who
suffer and comfort to those who grieve. Let their prayers be raised to your loving grace.
We pray for those who
are ill, suffering, lost and in need of your healing light.
Make the weak strong, the sick healthy, the broken whole, and let those who are serving them act in the name of your love.
To all those in distress, grant them mercy, grant them relief, grant them refreshment, give them hope in this hour of tragedy.
As they begin to rebuild, we entrust their loved ones to your
care.
Give them strength and new purpose to keep going in life and bless them with a new and bright tomorrow.
Surround those who have been shaken by disaster with a sense
of your present love,
And hold them in faith.
Though they are lost in grief, may they find you and be comforted;
Through Jesus Christ who was dead, but lives and rules this
world with you, hear our prayer.
Amen. |
