Prayer for today ...


Holy One, in our busy and noisy world, may we find room and time to pray ...

May we remember your holy presence, and your gift of grace and shalom ...

May we pause in the midst of our busy-ness, and stand in your love ...

Hear us today as we pray for those in need in our world, our community
and in our circle of family and friends ...

Hear our prayers for those who are hurting ... struggling ... feeling alone ...

Send healing to those facing illness and uncertainty ...
sending your Spirit to rest with them, bringing healing, comfort, wholeness and peace ...

Send strength and courage to those rest in hospital beds and care facilities ...
may they feel the care our prayers, and the wholeness of your loving grace ...

Send tranquility and calm to those who struggle and feel alone and frightened ...
may they know that place of shalom - that place of peace that you alone offer ...

Loving One, our friend, our companion ... be with us on this journey ...
Hold us in our weakness,
dance with us in our joy,
comfort us in our sorrow,
uplift us in our praise for you and all you offer us ...

Hear our prayers today O Loving God,
and be with us now and always ...

AMEN
