Prayer of Intercession
(inspired
by Matthew 15:21-28)
O Christ our Lord,
as the Canaanite woman brought her daughter’s need to you,
overcoming stigma and rejection to do so,
confident of your healing in her life,
we bring the needs of others in prayer:
as the Canaanite woman brought her daughter’s need to you,
overcoming stigma and rejection to do so,
confident of your healing in her life,
we bring the needs of others in prayer:
Those for whom pain is a
constant companion
Those who daily live with chronic illness or ill-health
Those who struggle with the confusion and distress
Those who daily live with chronic illness or ill-health
Those who struggle with the confusion and distress
of mental illness
Those who care for and treat people who are ill
Those who care for and treat people who are ill
and sometimes have agonizing decisions to
face
Those for whom treatment is not available or affordable
And for ourselves in our own weakness
Those for whom treatment is not available or affordable
And for ourselves in our own weakness
To all your children
everywhere,
Lord Jesus Christ,
Lord Jesus Christ,
bring healing,
bring peace. Amen.
