Prayers for today ...

Holy One, with thanks for the gift of today, we lift our hearts in prayer to you remembering our circle of friends and family, our community, our Church and our sisters and brothers who share this world with us.

We pray for those who are ill ... those who are in care homes and care facilities ... those who are at home and who await tests, treatment and results ... hold them in your love and your Shalom and carry them in your strength as they journey the road before them ...

We pray especially this day for your servant D and the transition and changes he is facing ... may your spirit rest with him as he settles in his new home and finds his way in a new place ... may he know our thoughts and care and prayers are with him ... may he know he is not alone ...

Loving God, we pray this day for those who are frightened ... alone ... lonely ... Those who are struggling ... those who linger in the darkness and yearn for light ... those who feel distant and removed from your presence and your love ...

Loving God, hear our prayers that day that we have expressed aloud, and those that linger in our hearts and mind unspoken, but felt ... send your Spirit to move within us and to remove our doubt and hesitation ... take our worries and concerns and in your love answer our prayers and touch our lives and the lives of those we care for and care about ...

Creator God, in your love we pray knowing that you hear us, and you never abandon us ...

AMEN
