O Holy One ... today as the chill of winter grips much of our nation, and people huddle in the cold yearning for winter send your Spirit to move amongst and within us all ...
Be with those facing treatments, tests and surgeries ...
Be with those struggling with illness of mind, body and spirit ...
Be with those in the midst of transition and change ...
Be with those travelling ...
Be with those who are feeling far from home and alone ...
Be with those who are searching, but may not be sure what they are searching for ...
Holy One hear the prayers of your people ...
the words spoken in liturgy and worship,
the words cried out in anger and frustration,
the words whispered in fear ...
Hear the words spoken aloud, and those that lurk in the shadowy places of our hearts,
hear the words and pour out your Spirit so that those prayers may be answeres ...
Holy One, this day we call on you to touch our lives,
our hearts,
our spirits,
and hold us in your Shalom,
in your name we pray ... AMEN
