Week 1: Missionaries suffering from sickness

“Compassionate and Gracious God, we come before You and pray for the missionaries serving in their mission fields despite their health conditions. May Your healing power come upon them. Renew a steadfast spirit within them despite various illnesses, big or small. We also pray for their spouses and children. Some of them are sick, or have even passed away due to illness. We pray that You will heal them physically, comfort them spiritually. Lord, protect your missionaries serving in a foreign culture, grant them good health and quick adjustment in working with people of another culture. We pray all these in the name of our Lord Jesus. Amen.”
