God, our refuge and help in trouble, you are our hope. In trust we pray: God, in your mercy, take things in hand.
For those who are exiled, bullied, belittled, or unjustly judged, we pray:
God, in your mercy, take things in hand.
For abusers, bullies, oppressors, and frauds, we pray:
God, in your mercy, take things in hand.
For young people who seek direction, need help, lack esteem, or live in poverty, we pray:
God, in your mercy, take things in hand.
Our Father . . .
May God show us mercy, forgive our sin, and lead us to everlasting life. Amen.
