A Prayer for the Lost, the Sick, the Anxious and the Impoverished

O kind and gracious Heavenly Father, you tell us in Philippians 4:6-7: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus,” so we bring our prayers and petitions before you and ask that you heal the sick and the depressed and remove anxiety from those who are worried. You tell us in 1 Peter 2:24 that by Jesus’ stripes were “were healed.” Father, we thank you for the healing of sick bodies, worried minds, grudges, disagreements, and poverty. We pray most of all for sinners who need to find comfort in your grace. In John 3:16 you tell us that You sent your only begotten Son and that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Thank you, Father, for your loving kindness, your longsuffering, and your patience with all of us. Our hearts break for those who are sick, those who are worried, and those who have no food to eat, or bills that they cannot pay. Father, forgive us for any sins we may have in our lives, whether by commission or omission. Father, we bring all these requests boldly, yet humbly, into your presence through our Advocate, Your Son, Jesus Christ, amen.
