Prayer for Paramedics
Almighty God, we thank you for the privilege of caring for those who are sick and injured. In particular, we thank you for the commitment and dedication of past and present ambulance officers and paramedics who have spent their lives in this way.
May all present officers be blessed in their caring ministry and given the skills and character to carry out their difficult work. We pray that they will be protected from harm and show in their attitude love, compassion and healing.
Grant us wisdom and peace.
We ask this in your name and for your sake.
Amen

We praise and thank you for all the gifts you have entrusted to us. May we use them to serve the community of New South Wales.
