Father, be with all who need Your help today.
I do not know their names and all their special needs
But You, in Your great wisdom, know each one.
You know their needs, their secret loads of care.
You know which hearts are aching
And need the comfort of Your loving arms.
You know the ones whose pain is great
And need Your healing hands to ease their suffering.
You know who is discouraged,
Bowed down beneath their yokes of ceaseless toil,
And need Your helping hands upon their shoulder.

I would that I could help these needing people.
But, Lord, I know You can:
So hear my heartfelt prayer this Sunday morning
And bless, sustain, uplift and comfort them
That they may know the sunshine of Your love;
May feel secure knowing that You care
And will be ever with them in their need.
