Why We Must Pray
As Christians, we are called to pray for those in need, including those in positions of leadership and influence. Queen Sonja's hospitalization is a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of praying for those who are suffering. In 1 Timothy 2:1-2, we are exhorted to pray for all people, including those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives.

Scripture Reflection
In Psalms 103:2-3, we are reminded to bless the Lord and forget not all His benefits, including the healing of our diseases. As we pray for Queen Sonja, let us also reflect on the goodness and mercy of God, and the promise of healing and restoration that is available to us through faith in Jesus Christ.
Prayer for Salvation in Christ
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in prayer, asking for your healing and comfort for Queen Sonja. We pray that you would surround her with your love and care, and that you would bring her to a place of wholeness and restoration. We also pray for her salvation, that she may know you personally and experience the joy and peace that comes from a relationship with you. In Jesus' name, Amen.
