Prayer for homebound

[Andrew]

God of compassion and grace,
we pray for all those who
find themselves imprisoned
by chronic illness
within the loneliness of home,
watching a world outside
that once had their
full involvement
increasingly pass them by.
Be with and bless them, Lord,
along with family and carers
calling through the week to help.
May they know that they are loved,
still precious in your sight,
and feel your arms support them
in the day and through the night.

Thank you so much @Andrew- that is a really lovely prayer. I try to pray everyday for all those who are having a difficult day with illness. We often feel ourselves to be so alone....but we are actually all united by our struggles.
