Mental Illness Recovery and Understanding
October 9, 2007
O, God, we come before You, remembering all those persons whose lives have been touched by mental illnesses.
We give thanks for those persons here who have given of their time
and talents to do what they are able to help persons who are dealing
with mental illnesses in their lives and in the lives
of their families and friends.
We give thanks for the improvement in medication and
treatment programs that have enabled persons with
mental illnesses to live productive lives.
We pray that our society would do everything possible
to make early diagnosis and treatment
a standard operating procedure.
We pray and ask that stigma be removed,
so that persons and their families would get
the appropriate help as soon as symptoms appear.
Guide each one of us, and help us, as we endeavor
to bring help and hope to those families and individuals.
We remember in our prayers those persons with mental illnesses
who need to obtain access to their prescribed medications,
treatment services, and counseling.
We pray that in our own local communities,
we can provide the appropriate health care
for mind, body, and spirit to enable individuals
to be on their journey of recovery.
We pray that wherever we go, Your hand will lead us.
So guide us along the pathways to hope,
that night becomes bright as day.
Lead us on our walk together,
that darkness is lifted from our hearts.
Encourage us that our sisters and brothers who have mental
illness shall know that they never walk alone.
Amen
