Prayers for the Chronically Ill – Rest

Today’s Scripture tells us to rest – be still and knows I am God.

Today’s Bible Verse:

Psalm 46:10 (KJV), ” Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.”

What the verse means:

Part of learning to deal with a chronic illness is learning to rest.

Praying using the verses:

1. Heavenly Father, help us be still and know you more intimately, feel your presence.
2. Lord Jesus, please help our loved one and yourself to get physical rest when possible.
3. Pray that our loved one would find his/her rest in the adequacy of God.
