Comfort Us In Our Suffering

Compassionate God, it is a beautiful day today - but we know that for many, this is another day of suffering.  Comfort those who are afflicted with physical, mental or spiritual pain.  When your Son, Jesus, came to you in anguish before his crucifixion, you sent angels to minister unto him and give him strength.  We look to you with the same longing for support in our days of trouble - may we feel the presence of your angels around us, upholding us, comforting us.  Be with all of us today and in the days ahead as we suffer or seek to help those who are suffering.  May we be your angels of mercy ministering unto therm.  In Jesus' Name we pray.  Amen.
