For those with Terminal Illness

But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and he will stand upon the earth at last.  And after my body has decayed, yet in my body I will see God! I will see him for myself. Yes, I will see him with my own eyes. I am overwhelmed at the thought! – Job 19:25-27

Dear God, help them to navigate their current season of life with strength and gratitude. Give them the courage to accept their current reality. Rid their hearts of any form of bitterness and anger. I pray that they will feel the depth and height of your love for them despite all that they are going through. Fill their hearts with peace and an assurance of spending eternity with you.

Lord calm their nerves and soothe the pains from the cancer, medications and chemotherapy. Wrap your loving arms around them and help them to keep their eyes on Jesus. Dear God, I pray that when it is time for you to call them home to you, it will be pain-free and free of struggles. May they feel a deep sense of peace and gratitude for their lives in that moment as they look to Jesus. May they be surrounded by their loved ones holding them close as you welcome them home to heaven. All of these I pray in Jesus name. Amen!

A Prayer for their Protection

The LORD keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever.- Psalm 121:7-8

Dear God, protect the elderly amongst us every single day. Shield them with your presence and keep them far from evil. I pray that they will never be victims of workers of iniquity and wicked men.

Protect them when they drive or are being driven. Protect them when they take a walk or sit outside their homes. Protect them when they go for hospital visits and carry out medical tests. Protect them inside their homes from danger, disasters and calamity. Protect those amongst them with mental illness and memory loss from mishaps. I pray that everywhere they go, your presence will always go with them as a guide and shield. And may your angels continually watch over them to protect them from all harm. Amen!
