A Prayer for Friends in Pain
by Belinda van Rensburg
Many of us have special friends who live with chronic pain
They suffer so much every day; that much is very plain;
The only thing that we can do to help them in their plight
Is to pray and ask the Lord to help them win the fight.
"Lord, You are all-powerful; aware of everything,
And it is with confidence that we now do bring
This petition to Your throne; please accept our prayers
And touch Your hurting children - here and everywhere.
Lord, be merciful to them; relieve their constant pain;
Please touch their aching bodies; allow them to regain
The good health and the strength that your children once knew;
No-one else can help them Lord; no-one else but You."
