People with blindness or limited mobility

Bring people with real needs to Jesus and make room for them

Wait until people seem strong enough before welcoming them

Offer sympathy, but keep worship and care separate

Assume people with limitations should handle life alone

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit my sin and my need for you. I turn from my sin and believe that you died for me and rose again. I confess you as my Lord and Savior. Come into my life, meet me in my weakness, forgive me, and make me whole. Amen.

Receive the Healing King

Lord, revive your Church to welcome people who feel weak, overlooked, or unable to help themselves. Give us the compassion to make room for the hurting, the faith to bring them near, and the humility to trust your healing. Let our worship become a place where mercy meets need, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Make Your Church a Place of Mercy

Father, for every person who feels blind, unable to walk, or stuck in pain, draw near with your restoring power. Let hope rise, strength return, and shame lift away. Meet each one in your mercy, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Healing for the Weary

Name one area where you feel weak or limited. Ask Jesus to meet you there, then ask for one next step that lets you come honestly to him for help.

Pray for the Place You Need Jesus

Thank God for Jesus' open welcome to those who are overlooked; for his power to heal what people cannot fix; for places of worship where mercy can be seen; and for the dignity he gives to every needy person. Amen.

Thanks for Jesus' Welcome

Pray for: a specific person who is living with illness, disability, or pain; courage for the church to see them with honor; and practical help, access, and care that reflect Jesus' mercy. Amen.

Pray for Those Who Need Healing
