Daily Prayer - October 26, 2024

Father, we give thanks to you for the individuals that you have called to be part of America's Emergency Medical Services.

We thank you for gifting these people with special abilities to care for medical emergencies in a variety of social conditions, inclement weather, in broad daylight or in the dark. We thank you for these modern good Samaritans.

We lift these people up to you, Lord asking that You would protect them from harm as they come into harm’s way to save others.

As always, reveal Yourself to those who do not know You through the ways you see fit, both those that serve as EMS workers, and those they are serving. Intervene in powerful ways through their work to show Your mighty hand and loving heart to all those involved in difficult situations.

May your hand be upon them as they work, as the witness, and as they rest. May your wisdom guide them, and your mercy follow them, Lord.

Bless them and their families so that when they have time off to relax with their loved ones, they may be fully present and attentive to the needs of their family members rather than distracted by the service that they do/have done.

Protect them from secondary trauma as they work in traumatic situations. Guard their minds and hearts and spirits.

In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
