Enabling God, there are times in all our lives when we face difficulties and challenges and at such times we benefit from your care and support., Sometimes our difficulties relate to our health and involve anxieties and uncertainties. We are grateful for those in the medical profession who have been equipped by you with skills and compassion and who ease our suffering.

Some of the challenges we face involve developing particular skills or over-riding physical problems to perform in sporting events, or practising artistic or musical talents to entertain and delight our fellows. We thank you for the gifts you have bestowed and for our ability to appreciate them.

Sometimes people undertake difficult physical challenges in order to draw attention to the work of particular charities and to raise money in their support. We ask your particular blessing on these ventures and trust that you will bring them to a safe conclusion.

Amen
