Gracious and loving God, your Word is our life. In hope we pray: Awaken us to your Word, O God.
Give us the grace to listen to your voice and follow your will in times of darkness, separation, isolation, and pain.
Awaken us to your Word, O God.
Show mercy on those who grieve or struggle with the pandemic, political discord, or racial tension.
Awaken us to your Word, O God.
Fulfill the hopes of the dying, and give peace to their loved ones.
Awaken us to your Word, O God.
Our Father . . .
May the love of God enfold us and keep us safe from all harm, through Jesus our brother. Amen.
