  5. Prayer of thanksgiving, and blessing for the NHS Creator God, Who knits each person together in their mother’s womb It is you who reveals knowledge to scientists and doctors. We thank you for the heritage of medical breakthrough, expertise and welfare we enjoy in our nation, Freely available to us because of your revelation, and the faithfulness of previous generations. Renew thanksgiving in our hearts for what we have received because of others’ work and sacrifice. Healer of nations, You provide insight to all who seek you, And defend those in need. We thank you for the gift of health services in our nation, Freely available to everyone no matter their background, income level or need. Give your wisdom to our government, health professionals, and advisers as they seek the right reforms. We bless our health service to thrive, to prosper, and to heal. We bless our doctors and nurses to care, to excel, and to bring healing. We bless our nation to understand, to thank, and to honour those who seek to bring us health. For everything that is good comes from you. Amen. © May 2011 www.thesanctuarycentre.org/whereworldandworshipmeet
