We believe strongly in God and each other.
We pray, Lord,
for all who will need strength and courage today:
- for those who are seriously ill;
- for those who are in desperate situations and see no hope of anything different;
- for those who find it difficult to face others or themselves;
- for those in pain from illness or mistreatment or torture;
- for those who know that others depend on them.
For all these people we ask for the power of your Spirit in their lives.
Amen.
