For our friends and family who could use our spiritual assistance, below is a prayer I found in http://www.beliefnet.com/Prayers/Multifaith/Illness/Prayer-For-Strength-After-A-Stroke.aspx.
Prayer for Strength After a Stroke
Have mercy, O loving God,
upon all who have suffered a stroke.
Remove the sudden fear that befalls them.
Endow them with courage in the struggle
to recover what has been lost.
Grant them strength and hope
to envision new days ahead
and a spirit of faith
to take the risk of living fully
once again. Amen.
