Gracious God, you give us every grace and gift we need to live our faith. In hope we pray:  God, in your love, hear our prayer.  

Give us patience to listen, wisdom to understand, and freedom to live the Gospel.  

God, in your love, hear our prayer.  

Encourage those who live and work in shelters and other places of hospitality.  

God, in your love, hear our prayer.  

Protect the military and civilians who are living in the midst of war.  

God, in your love, hear our prayer.  

Our Father . . . 

May God bless us, protect us from harm, and fill our hearts with peace, through Jesus, our brother. Amen.
