Offering prayer is a vital part of hospital ministry. Prayer connects persons with God, reminds them that they are beloved children of God, and helps put into words deep experiences of suffering, grief, pain, and joy. These prayers offer encouragement and strength, especially for difficult times when you may not be sure how to pray or what to pray for. The full text of an appropriate Bible verse accompanies each prayer. Book jacket.
