Health Care Prayer for Thanksgiving

Faithful Reform in Health Care (FRHC), a broad coalition of diverse national and local faith groups, is encouraging advocates in communities of faith to pray for health care reform as part of their Thanksgiving preparations.

"In this season of Thanksgiving, let us not forget to give thanks for the abundance of health care resources available in our country" said The Rev. Linda Walling, executive director of FRHC and Senior Advisor on Health Care Reform at the Disciples Center for Public Witness. "At the same time, let us remember our call to be faithful stewards and generous heirs of the gifts we have received."

To help guide these "reflections of thanksgiving and hope," FRHC has developed a prayer for individuals, families, and communities of faith.

FHRC is asking health care reform advocates to share this prayer with their Members of Congress by printing three copies, writing a message to their Senators and Representative, and then sending this to the local offices of their elected officials.

But then there's one more step: FRHC next encourages people of faith to "distribute this prayer in your community of faith in the coming days and provide the needed information for others to share in this action with you."
