Generous God, you strengthen us in faith and inspire us to be servants of your life-giving Word. In confidence we pray:

God, help us find rest in you.

For parents of small children and teenagers, we pray:

God, help us find rest in you.

For health-care workers and all who are on the front lines of medical and emergency care, we pray:

God, help us find rest in you.

For those who are near death, we pray:

God, help us find rest in you.

Our Father . . .

May the Spirit of God be our hope through the day and our guard through the night, in Jesus our companion. Amen.
