Inside Out

You, O Lord, are the one

who created us,

inside and out;

the one who has numbered

not just the hairs on our heads,

but also every cell in our bodies.

You are also the creator

of doctors, nurses, anesthesiologists,

and all medical support staff,

with their wisdom,

experience, and tools.

Throughout these days to come,

we pray that you, O God,

will keep us all

in your strong but tender hand,

and under the watchful eye

of your steadfast love.

And for those who wait and pray,

we ask that you would cover us

with your peace that passes understanding;

through Jesus Christ

the great physician we pray. Amen.
