Today’s Prayer, May 17, 2024

Dear Gracious and Merciful Creator, in a world beset by sorrow and uncertainty, we seek Your comfort, healing, and wisdom.

We extend our prayers to the communities in Missouri and Kentucky, ravaged by the devastating force of tornadoes. For the families mourning the loss of loved ones, the injured in need of medical attention, and those who have lost their homes, we implore Your presence to provide solace. May hope emerge from the rubble, and may kindness and unity strengthen all who embark on the arduous path of recovery.

We extend our prayers to the leaders who will soon convene to discuss the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. May diplomacy prevail over division, and may voices advocating for peace be heard above the clamor of conflict. Guide their words and actions, leading them toward reconciliation and the preservation of life.

For the distressing case of a mother who remains on life support, we beseech You for compassion, clarity, and mercy for all involved. May those grappling with such arduous decisions find solace in Your guidance, and may the dignity of every life be honored in ways that reflect Your love.

We acknowledge moments of integrity and accountability, even in unexpected settings—whether on the racetrack or behind the scenes of competition. May fairness govern every aspect of our lives, and may justice serve as the bedrock upon which we make our decisions.

As Warren Buffett steps aside from leadership after years of shaping industries, we recognize the cyclical nature of change in all lives. May his subsequent chapter be filled with fulfillment and peace, and may we each embrace the wisdom of knowing when to rest, when to transition, and when to advance in faith.

Above all, O Lord, we implore You for peace—peace in the storms, in the decisions, in the transitions, and in the moments that challenge us to transcend our individual perspectives. May love guide us, may hope sustain us, and may grace be the unifying force that binds us all. May peace prevail. Amen 🙏

How may I pray for you? 💕✌️🙏
