World Prayer 200505

God we thank you for giving us the strength to endure hard seasons. Nothing we go through is wasted. Right now, parts of the world are preparing to re-open. We don’t know what the transition will look like, but You do.

So we ask that during this time You would:

Guard our hearts and minds. Encourage anyone feeling anxious, afraid or helpless.

Continue to heal those who are sick and protect those who are not.

Protect and strengthen the brave people serving others on the front lines of this pandemic.

Give our leaders wisdom as they navigate this season. Let Your hope and truth guide their actions.

Unite Your global church and increase the generosity, faith and love for those around.

Restore communities for the glory of Your name and rescue people from depression, addiction and loneliness.

Continue to transform us and let the spiritual renewal we have experienced strengthen our resolve to share Your hope.

We believe we will see Your goodness in our land because we know You are at work in our lives.

Calm our fears as we trust in You and come and do what only You can do.

In Jesus’ name, Amen
