Creator God, we pray this day for communities and places affected by the vagaries of weather and the challenges posed by too much snow, too little snow, rising temperatures, falling temperatures, and all the things that touch lives and remind us of what lies beyond our control ...
We pray this day for those places in our world struggling to make sense of the challenges before them ... be with the First Nations communities as they struggle with the teachings and guidance of thier ancestors and traditional ways, and yearn to find a place of peace and comfort in our modern world that affirms their ways while learning from the wisdom they offer to all ...
We pray this day for those struggling with addicitons ... those fighting feelings of alone-ness, fear and abandonment ... those who are yearning for peace and healing in their minds, bodies and spirit ...
We pray this day for those who are sick in hospital, care facilities or at home ... send your Spirit to rest with them O Holy One that they may know your comforting strength, your healing presence and the peace of your loving wholeness ...
We pray too for those who are travelling this day that they may find safety and rest in their journeys and they will return home refreshed and made new by their travels ...
Holy One, hear our prayers and be with us in our Lenten Journey ... these things we ask in the name of the Risen One who offers life, love and grace in abundance ...
In your name we pray, AMEN.
