“Save the Children
—Stop AIDS—
Keep the Promise”
World AIDS Day Prayer
God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Oh good and gracious God,
You are the God of health and wholeness.
In the plan of Your creation,
You call us to struggle in our sickness
and to cling always to the cross of your Son.
Oh God, we are your servants.
Many of us are now suffering with HIV or AIDS. We come before You, and
ask You,
if it is your Holy will to take away this suffering from us, restore us
to health and lead us to know You
and Your Powerful healing love of body and spirit.
We ask you also, to be with those of us
who nurse Your sick ones. We are mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers,
children and friends of
Your suffering people. It is so hard for us to see those whom we love
suffer.
Help us to minister in loving care, with support and patience for Your
people who suffer with HIV and AIDS.
Lead us to do whatever it will take to eradicate this illness from the
lives of those who are touched by it,
both directly and indirectly.
Trusting in You and the strength of Your Spirit, we pray these things in
the name of Jesus. Amen. |
