Prayer for the NHS and other key workers

Lord our God, you are the great healer, and the agent you use more than any other is the NHS. We thank you for those who serve this country in the National Health Service and pray that you would prosper the work of their hands, that they would all be encouraged in their continued work of sacrifice and care amongst us. We pray you in Jesus’ name. Amen.

"Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise. " (Jeremiah 17. 14)

THE LORD’S PRAYER As our Saviour taught us, so we pray with confidence:

(Modern Version) (Traditional Version) Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be your name; Your kingdom come; Your will be done; on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours, now and for ever. Amen. Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory for ever and ever. Amen.
