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.

Day 79: Monday, April 6
Accompanying God, we pray for those who are forced to migrate, abandoning their homeland, community, and livelihood. Transform our hearts to welcome them with compassion, recognizing all as our loved siblings.

God of Sustenance, we lift up all TSA employees and others struggling financially and socially from the partial government shutdown. May their lives be restored and may we all respond generously in their time of need.
Day 81: Wednesday, April 8
Holy One, we pray for the people of Sudan and Palestine, who continue to face violence, hunger, and displacement. Transform those responsible for violent division to collaborate with opposing factions for the good of all.

Protecting One, we pray for families struggling with the high cost of living, particularly those who are housing insecure. May children be fed and nurtured. May parents receive just wages. May social policies allow for affordable living.
Day 83: Friday, April 10
Creator, we are heartbroken by the destruction unfolding in our world, including the escalating tensions in Iran and the Middle East. Empower leaders to reject the dehumanization that occurs in the name of seeking peace.

God of Life, we are grateful for the many faith communities, nonprofits, and NGOs responding to our world’s many needs. May they be renewed, strengthened, and well-resourced to bring Your people to wholeness.
