Days of Prayer (s25): Days 50-56

Begin with the prayer below, then go to the prayer for the day.

God of wisdom and mercy, grant us patience to listen; compassion to be open to other views and opinions; generosity to forgive and grace to change. As you taught us to love our dear neighbor, we pray that you give us strength to be healing instruments of unity and reconciliation.

God of Peace, we pray for an end to the war in Iran and the Middle East. May

aggressors cease their hostilities. May meaningful dialogue and efforts for the

common good for all Your people prevail.

God of Justice, we are grateful for all who worked tirelessly for the right to

vote. May this right prevail amidst federal and state attempts to discourage and

restrict who can participate in our democracy.

Holy One, we lift up undocumented persons, those with DACA, and those with

refugee status. Transform unjust, violent immigration policies and those who

establish them. Protect communities, families, and individuals living in anguish.

God of Comfort, we pray for all people struggling to make ends meet, and are

vulnerable to food and housing insecurity, and lack of medical treatment. May

fair wages, healthcare, safe housing, and food security abound for all.

Loving Creator, we pray for all of Your creatures impacted by war, civil unrest,

and pollution. May leaders prioritize protecting air, land, and water ecosystems

before undertaking destructive actions.

God of Wisdom, empower global leaders with an understanding heart and to

seek Your wisdom in distinguishing right from wrong in far-reaching policy

decisions. Protect all people who suffer from racism and discrimination.

Lifegiving Source, we pray for peacemakers and all Your people in this chaotic

time. Keep our hearts and minds centered on Your love as we strive to inspire

action that alleviates the causes of ignorance, poverty, suffering and oppression.
