Description
Prayer: God of the church
God of the church, you call us to be your body in the world and we are sorry that so often we forget what that means.
Without a physical body, your Spirit is still alive in the world, but spiritual comfort and help is not all that hurting people need.
Those who are in pain need medical treatment, care and compassion, but shown in ways that they can reach out and touch something, or somebody, that will give them physical help.
Those who are in distress need a hand to hold, or an arm around the shoulder, or a listening ear, or the comfort that can only be gained by having someone around who understands the problem.
Those who are hungry need food grown and gifted by those who have plenty.
