Lord Christ, unto whom every life is precious:Your eye is on the littlest sparrow, and we know you watch over us and all our fellow beings, hoping at every turn that we may be free from the price of sin. We pray today for those who suffer from darkness of mind. Be with them, we pray, in their torment; comfort them and their friends and families. And if it be your will, free them from the demons of the mind, that we understand so little about. Bless the doctors and scientists who work to relieve mental illness and the people who care for the ill, and let your Spirit guide them to the alleviation of human suffering. And where a person cannot be healed, bless and keep their soul, we pray, that their lost mind may not be held against the salvation of their soul, and the eventual perfection they might find by your grace. Oh Holy Jesus, look down upon your lost sheep with mercy, we pray. Amen. UTUTU OMA. HEAR YOUR PEOPLE LORD.
