Everlasting God, you are trustworthy and true. With longing we pray:
God, in your abundant mercy, hear us.
Teach us to be silent and to listen for the groaning of the Spirit.
God, in your abundant mercy, hear us.
Give those released from prison successful re-entry and resources for a new beginning.
God, in your abundant mercy, hear us.
Help us to generate needed provisions and support services for military families.
God, in your abundant mercy, hear us.
Our Father . . .
May the God of all grace confirm, strengthen, and support us, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
