Dear Heavenly Father, as we bring our loved ones before you, we ask that you would surround them with your loving presence. Comfort them in their illness and suffering, and grant them the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Help them to trust in your goodness and sovereignty, even in the darkest of times. May your healing touch be evident in their bodies, minds, and spirits.
