Prayer topics

Through our prayers we join with LAMB as it serves the people of Bangladesh, especially the many living in extreme poverty. Our prayer is that with God’s help they may remain healthy, achieve a better standard of living and lead happier and more fulfilling lives.

With God’s help LAMB brings healing and wholeness to those who are sick or who have been injured in an accident. LAMB especially looks after women and children, so that new born children will have a good start in life.  Our prayer is that God will bless families and bring them hope for the future.

Hospital staff deal with many illnesses for which patients need effective diagnoses and appropriate treatment. Community staff promote healthy practices and look after people with varied needs. Our prayer is and that all staff may be sustained and strengthened by God as they seek to give individual care to each person they serve.

Wholeness in life encompasses peoples’ social, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. It is not only those with mental health issues who can benefit from LAMB’s work, with care and compassion. Our prayer is that people receive God’s loving care through the support that LAMB gives across local communities.

No one is turned away from LAMB because they cannot pay for treatment. There is a Poor Fund from which grants are made towards patient fees. About 10% of patients receive grants.  Our prayer is that those in greatest poverty will be able to get the treatment they need.

LAMB is a Christian organisation seeking to share God’s light in a mainly Muslim country and culture. Our prayer is that people of all faiths and none may be inspired to work together in mutual respect under God to meet the physical and spiritual needs of the people of Bangladesh.

Prayer Topics are shared bi-monthly by email to those who wish to pray week by week for LAMB and the people it serves. Please email us if you would like further details.

July-August 2026

Through his word God wants us to be concerned for justice for the poor. Thank God that by serving the poor LAMB seeks to bring better health in just communities. Pray that the justice dimension of LAMB’s vision and values will run through both strategic thinking and day to day activities.

LAMB are seeing many new babies that come after delivery elsewhere, and they are often very sick. Pray that all staff will show both babies and mothers God’s love and light to bless them with compassionate care.

Everyday life gets hard during the monsoon season, with homes flooded and travel disrupted. Pray that those who are ill can get to clinics or hospital, and will not be delayed in receiving treatment. In the hospital working in humid conditions is hard.  Pray that with respect, integrity and humility all staff will manage their work for the benefit of patients.

The palliative care team does a good job of helping patients to stop spending money on futile treatments, and instead think about what they want out of life. This happens by counselling about quality of life, end of life support, medication and coming alongside the carers of these patients. Pray for the team to have empathy and wisdom dealing with patients and their families. Pray that patients’ lives will be enriched through the care and hope being shared.
