World AIDS Day 2010

Dear God,
we ask you to walk with us in our HIV and AIDS filled world.
We pray expecting your presence among us!
Be with all who live with the effects of this disease.
Be with those who wait to die because they have no access to medication.
Be with children who received HIV as a legacy from their parents.
Be with orphans and families who have lost loved ones.
Be with countries who have millions of citizens with HIV/AIDS.
Be with all who are stigmatised and ignored
because they have HIV or AIDS.
Be with politicians and corporate executives
who control access to affordable medications.
Be with researchers and scientists who work to find a cure.
Be with health care workers and caregivers who comfort and encourage.
Be with all who have lost hope because of HIV and AIDS.
Lord, we hear the angel's song of peace!
Fill the hearts of people around the world with good will
so that together we can work for justice and healing
for all who suffer from HIV and AIDS.

Amen.

(This prayer from the Anglican Diocese of Oxford in the UK.)
