The cards Prayers by Sandra B. Lucas

Caregivers’ Prayer

Based on “Comfort, O comfort my people, says your God: (Isaiah 40:1)

Here I am, Lord.

I seek your vision and strength.

I call upon your steadfast love.

For you are with me in my desire

to care for and comfort your people.

Open my eyes to see sorrow.

Open my ears to hear distress.

Open my heart to love patiently.

Open my lips to speak kindly.

Walk with me, Lord, and guide me.

Renew my spirit and bless my work.

Strengthen me to care for the ill.

Inspire me to see new horizons.

Fill my heart with hope.

You have heard my prayer.

Prayer for the Sick

Based on “For I was sick and you visited me.” (Matthew 25:36)

Here I am, Lord.

I am in need of your healing touch.

I call upon your loving kindness.

Open my eyes, Lord, that I might see you.

Open my ears that I might hear you.

Open my heart that I might receive you.

Open my lips that I might thank you.

For I am sick and you comfort me.

I am ill and you offer healing.

I am worried and you lift my burden.

I am sad and you wipe away my tears.

You are with me in this illness.

You walk beside me in my struggle.

I was sick and you visited me.

You have heard my prayer.
