Hospice Prayer
by Dan Phillips
The Gift
of Presence
Our Heavenly Father, I
bring before you my fellow hospice workers. Tenderly spread thy wings
to protect them. Stretch forth thy holy right hand to bless them.
Pour into their hearts thy Holy Spirit who may abide with them.
As they seek to help others in
distress, may their own hope hold strong. May their presence be a
source of strength as they give solace to the dying and their loved
ones. And may You, dear Father, kindly console them in their need,
giving them victory over temptation and helping them to be victorious
in all the trials and tribulations of life.
Psalm 23 as translated by Dan
Phillips for terminally ill patients
The Lord cares for
me I have need for nothing He gives me a night of quiet rest
He feeds me with the silence of his Word
My life has new hope His guidance leads me through
The Darkness.
He is with me
Through the dark night of the soul
His touch ever with me His hand quietly on my shoulder
When the enemy comes
He is there
With oil
With grace
With His presence and mercy
And I will ever be His.
