MEMBERS IN NEED OF OUR PRAYER
Dear Lord Jesus, when you walked upon this earth, You healed the sick, gave sight
to the blind, caused the lame to walk, and raised the dead. Now we come to You in
behalf of those who are in need today and pray that You would send them your
healing power. Hear our prayer for Your name’s sake. Amen.
