It is painful to see a sick family member, bedridden in agony. For this I want to ask you to pray these psalms that I am going to share with you, so that they can calm their suffering.
Having a loved one sick is very sad, and it is even more so if the disease you are facing has no cure or you only have a short time to live. It is impotence to see that you cannot do anything to alleviate their pain, and even more so if the disease lasts for years, it becomes exhausting.
The psalms that I am going to quote you are the most powerful in which you will cry out for God’s help so that the sick person finds peace and the path to his kingdom.
