We pray for the President of the United States and those who govern around the world,/ asking for leaders who are skilled at listening,/ who know what it is to feel the pain of the people they serve./ For the healing of leaders who are soul-sick,/ lacking compassion and good judgment./ We pray to the Lord.
At the height of the summer we pray for those who suffer from the heat/ or who must work out of doors./ For those who are shut-in during the Coronavirus pandemic./ For the safety of travelers./ We pray to the Lord.
Our nation has isolated itself in the global effort of addressing climate change./ May we be wise and brave in protecting the life of the planet we have been given for our home./ We pray to the Lord.
Nearly 140,000 people have died in our nation from Coronavirus./ Still,/ cases and hospitalizations spike in many places,/ often due to carelessness and willful ignorance./ May we learn the mind of Christ./ We pray to the Lord.
Around the world,/ nearly 600,000 people have died from coronavirus,/ among them,/ little children and young people./ Each leaves behind loved ones who are suffering loss./ We pray for them/ and for the many who continue to help the sick./ We pray to the Lord.
We pray for our own families and friends these days,/ asking for good health and safety./ We ask for the restoration of balance these days marked by every negative and enervating emotion./ We pray to the Lord.
