Praying for others


I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them (1 Timothy 2:1; NLT). 

I willingly accept my sickness
For the sake of those who suffer:
Anxious, frightened, losing hope –
Yahweh, help us all to cope.

I willingly embrace my losses
On behalf of all those grieving:
Anguished, sorrowful, disgraced –
May all share your dear Son’s faith.

I willingly endure my exile
For the sake, Lord, of the dying:
When, at last, our bodies fail –
Lift our souls beyond the veil.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me (Psalm 23:4; KJV).

The dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it (Ecclesiastes 12:7; NIV).
