Our Savior and our Lord,
We pray for those who are enduring hardship due to extreme weather.
Bring them to safety and provide for their needs.
May they know You and Your tender care.
And may we, even in good times, realize our need for You.
You are our source, our sustenance, and our shelter from the storm.
We pray to You in the name of Your Son, our Redeemer, Jesus the Christ.
Amen.

Lord God,
We are all sinful and none of us deserve Your mercy.
But the degree of Your love for us is tremendous.
Our Lord Jesus looked at those who had faith and
immediately healed them and absolved them of their sins.
Through Jesus' death on the cross,
You offer us healing and absolution as well.
We praise You for Your greatness;
for loving us and forgiving us.
Teach us to be like You -
loving others and showing mercy.
In Jesus' name.
Amen

Holy Father,
In the midst of our personal struggles and
a troubling world, we put our hope in You.
We thank You for walking with us.
We know that You are faithful and will deliver us.
We pray for those who don't know You
and those who pervert Your word,
that they would come to truly know You
and have the peace that transcends understanding.
Heal our hearts and make us new so that
through us Your Spirit is evident to all.
In Jesus' holy name,
Amen.

Lord God,
You are awesome and amazing.
You are all-knowing, all-seeing and all-powerful.
You know what we need before we ask.
We give You our worries, our desires and our petitions.
You know what is best for us,
and You only give good gifts.
We put our trust in You.
May Your will be done - in Your good time.
By our faith and through Your Spirit, may we find peace.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.
