Loving Lord Jesus, You were the one Who encouraged the little children to come to You and placed Your hands on them to bless them. Lord, I bring the many children that are in hospital tonight, facing so many different sicknesses and illnesses.
Draw very close to each little life that is facing hospitalisation, and give them courage and peace in their hearts. I pray You would bring each one quickly back to full health and strength.
Give the doctors and nursing staff and all those that are involved with their wellbeing during their time in hospital, patience and skill as they treat each little life. And I ask that You would comfort the families of children and especially other siblings and parents, knowing that separation from home and family can be a frightening experience for all concerned. Guard each one and be with each one, and draw them closer into the arms of the Lord Jesus.
Amen.
