Invocation:
Heavenly Father, source of all compassion and love, I come before You with a humble heart, seeking Your guidance and strength. You who are the Great Healer, I ask for Your presence as I care for those on their journey home.
Prayer for Healing Hands and Open Heart:
Lord, fill my hands with Your healing touch, that every gentle gesture may convey comfort and relief. Let Your love flow through my fingertips to ease the pain of those I care for, reflecting Your infinite mercy and grace.
Help me to have an open heart, Lord, to truly listen and be present. May I offer solace with a kind word, a soft smile, and the warmth of understanding. Let my words bring peace, echoing Your promise, "I am with you always" (Matthew 28:20).
Grant me the wisdom to know when to speak and when to listen, to discern the needs of the soul alongside the needs of the body. Let me be an instrument of Your peace, bringing light where there is darkness, and joy where there is sorrow.
As I witness the fragility of life, remind me of Your eternal promise. Comfort me with the assurance that in You, there is no end, only a beginning. Inspire me with the faith to believe in Your perfect plan, to trust that "He will wipe every tear from their eyes" (Revelation 21:4).
Help me to lift the spirits of the weary, to share in laughter even amidst tears, and to celebrate the gift of each day. Let love be the bridge between us, allowing Your presence to reign over fear and sadness.
Conclusion with Gratitude:
Thank You, Lord, for entrusting me with this sacred duty. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve and to be an expression of Your love. Sustain me with Your strength, and envelope me in Your peace, as I care for those who need You most.
In Your holy name, I pray. Amen.
