How to Pray

Pray in your own words using this as a guide. Speak the person's name aloud. There's no wrong way to do this — God hears the heart behind the words.

Prayer Text

Heavenly Father, I come before You today to lift up (name). You know their situation better than I do. You know their pain, their fear, and their hope. I ask You to be close to them right now. Give them strength for today. Give them peace when they are anxious. Give the doctors and caregivers wisdom. Surround them with people who love them. And Lord, let them feel that they are not alone — that right now, in this moment, someone is praying for them. In Jesus' name, Amen.
