Lord Jesus Christ, you who saw the faith of those who carried their friend to You, and forgave the paralytic before healing his body


Today we come before you with our burdens and with hearts that sometimes feel weak and unable to rise


Often we carry wounds and struggles that no one else can see


Lord, look at our small faith and at the hope we place in You


Speak to our hearts as you spoke to the paralytic 

Your sins are forgiven… rise and walk


Touch the wounds of our souls and lift us from every weakness and despair


Teach us also to carry one another in love and to bring one another into your healing presence


May Your word become a strength that raises us up, and Your mercy a light that renews our hearts


To You be glory and thanksgiving forever



.Amen
