Lord, our nation feels torn by anger, fear, and mistrust. Grant me patience and

wisdom in my conversations and reactions, including on social media. Replace

hostility with listening, resentment with forgiveness, and suspicion with love.

them from harm, loneliness, and despair. Stir our hearts to act with generosity

farmers, workers, and all who ensure food reaches our tables. Help us share

resources wisely so that all may be nourished.

God of Providence, as the cost of living rises and families feel the strain, grant

relief to those burdened by financial stress. Strengthen communities to support

one another, and inspire leaders to pursue policies of fairness and justice.

We rejoice when Your children find their way back to worship and community.

Welcome them with open arms. Remove any shame, fear, or hesitation. Fill

Your Church with warmth and hospitality so all may know they belong.

Creator of Heaven and Earth, transform the hearts and minds of those who

call climate change a hoax. Guide my actions to care for our common home,

including all its creatures. May this be a gift to future generations.
