God of our salvation, you are the source of joy. In hope we pray:

Teach us your ways, O God.

You draw near to the brokenhearted: comfort and heal those who suffer relationship wounds.

Teach us your ways, O God.

You rescue us from danger: protect children surrounded by war and violence.

Teach us your ways, O God.

You open our lips to proclaim your praise: help us to speak with respect, appreciation, and love.

Teach us your ways, O God.

Our Father . . .

May God renew a steadfast spirit in us and sustain our hope, through Jesus our brother. Amen.
