When we are sick and in need and ask for God’s help and healing, it’s how we wait that determines how our strength is renewed. We must never get weary, anxious, or tired. (PFEL)

Dear God, we come humbly before you, not only because we have a need, but in thanksgiving for the wonderful signs and miracles that you reveal to us teach day; and we are thanking you today for help and healing. Lord, we are opening the door of communication before you, not only to voice our prayers and supplications, but to listen to your still small voice. Help us to hear the voice of you, our shepherd, and stand ready to answer your call. We come to you in prayer O God, confident, that you will answer our prayers for help and healing, help us not to get weary, tired, or agitated, as we await the answer to our prayers, help us to recognize that you are an on-time God. If we are praying and it seems like nothing is happening, enlighten our way so that we could understand, that, if you delay in answering our prayers it is for our own good; help us to be in tune with your timetable and patiently wait. (Excerpt from Prayers for Everyday Living)
