The Chaplain's Prayer

✝ A Prayer for Those Who Serve ✝

Lord, make me an instrument of Your comfort.
Where there is sickness, let me carry Your healing presence;
where there is grief, Your consolation;
where there is fear, Your peace;
where there is loneliness, Your abiding love.
Equip my hands to serve, my ears to listen,
and my mouth to speak boldly the mystery of the Gospel.
Send me, Lord — to the hospital bed, the prison cell,
the street corner, and the corridors of power alike —
that in every place, Your name may be glorified.

AMEN
