Ever-living God, your perfect love casts out all fear. In confidence we pray: God, in your wisdom, hear our prayer. 

Strengthen and guide caregivers of those with mental illnesses, physical disabilities, or the diminishments of aging. 

God, in your wisdom, hear our prayer. 

Help us to break through the channels of misinformation that lead to division, mistrust, and lack of empathy. 

God, in your wisdom, hear our prayer. 

Inspire us to show appreciation to our friends and expand our circle of friendship and inclusion. 

God, in your wisdom, hear our prayer. 

Our Father . . . 

May God bless us with loving hearts and peaceful spirits, through Christ Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Amen.
