 LOOK TO THE LORD AND HIS STRENGTH; SEEK HIS FACE ALWAYS.     PSALM 105:4

Gracious God,

Thank you for the gift that the NHS to our country at this challenging time.
Please give skill ,sympathy and resilience to all who are caring for the sick at home and in hospital.
Give wisdom to the scientists searching for a cure and those working to produce testing kits for diagnosis and immunity.
Strengthen them with your Spirit when the task is herculean and the shift seems endless.

We pray for:

Hospital Chaplains and volunteer chaplains and visitors – wisdom and protection from the virus as they bring God’s peace and comfort.

Those in hospital for other illnesses – healing and freedom from fear.

Pregnant women and new parents – confidence as they give birth in hospital and peace as they bring their baby back home without the usual visitors.

Thank you Lord,
Amen.
