Psalm 46:1–7BSB
Then, a short prayer
Written by our team for you to pray aloud or quietly. Say their name where you see (name).
When the news is new
Lord, this news is heavy, and we don't understand it. You are still here with us. Hold (name) steady today, and show us the next step. Amen.
For the road ahead
Father, give wisdom to the doctors, strength for the treatments, and rest in the waiting. We ask You for healing. Keep (name) close to You in every hour. Amen.
How long
Lord, like the psalmist we ask how long. We bring You our fear and our questions, all of them. Stay with us while we wait. Amen.
