Inbox Inspiration: April 3, 2020: Special - 5 A Prayer for Health Caregivers
Special – 5
A Prayer for Health Caregivers
Lord Jesus Christ,
today I pray for all health caregivers
and especially for those caring for persons sick with the coronavirus.
For doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants,
for emergency room and urgent care personnel,
for first responders and all emergency medical service providers,
for those who assist with vital life-support and technology systems,
for those who provide personal protective equipment and custodial services,
for those who supply nutrition and hydration,
for social workers and chaplains,
for administrative staff and clinic receptionists,
and also, by all means,
for family and friends caring for loved ones who are sick at home –
Lord Jesus, I place all of these women and men in your caring hands.
May they be personal instruments of your healing power.
May they be the presence and expression of your warm love.
Protect them.
Keep them well.
Heal them of any sickness.
Keep them spiritually strong as day after day they fulfill their calling
under great stress and significant risk.
I thank you, Lord, for each of these health caregivers –
whoever and wherever they are in my community, our country, and our world.
And I ask you, Lord Jesus Christ, to bless them
and wrap them in your love, today and always.
Amen.
Father Michael Schleupner
