PRAYER FOR MENTAL ILLNESS

NATIONAL MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS WEEK
OCTOBER 5- 11, 2008

O Lord, you have searched us and known us


You know when we sit down and when we rise up,


and know our innermost thoughts.


You search out our paths and know all our ways.


Before we speak, you know our words.


When we were knit together in our mother's womb


You knew us as woman, as child, as man.


Wherever we go, Your hand will lead us.


So guide us along the pathways to hope,


that night becomes bright as day.


So lead us on our walk together,


that darkness is lifted from our hearts.


So encourage us that our sisters and brothers


Who have mental illness shall know that


they never walk alone.


Amen
