Good Morning, God
The headlines told of people being arrested after a long investigation into alleged abuse of a resident at a local health care center. Some of those arrested were charged with felony battery and neglect, as well as misdemeanor intimidation.
Lord Jesus, whose commandment to us is to care for the least, the lost and the lonely among us, we pray for all those who can no longer care for themselves enough to live alone or with just a little bit of loving help. We pray for all of us who feel it is a responsibility to care for these dear people, usually people who have cared for us at earlier life stages. We pray for our patience, our understanding, our strength and our love.
We also give you thanks for health care centers that are safe, healthy and caring places for our loved ones when we can’t take care of them ourselves. Thank you for the special grace you have given to the men and women who work there. Bless others through them.
In Jesus name, Amen.
