PSALM 41

God Abba. Father.

Thank you for blessing those who are sick. When the poor and needy cry out, you protect them. You heal them and restore their strength. We thank you for the personal times when we have needed your touch and you have proven that you are always close to the brokenhearted. Though we are sinners, when we have sought your face, you are there.

Father, today, especially we pray for those who have been infected by this pandemic, those who are physically sick, and those who are emotionally hurting, or who have lost loved ones, or their businesses or their jobs. Please, Father, we call out to you, the great physician. Heal our land. Heal this earth. Forgive us.

We turn to you. Thank you for turning your face towards us, not away from us.

May you be praised forever!

In Jesus’ name.

Amen.
