Dear Gracious and Sovereign God, amidst the current state of grief, conflict, and uncertainty, we humbly seek Your wisdom, justice, and peace for ourselves and the world.
We mourn the loss of life, including the Minnesota lawmaker taken by violence, and extend our condolences to those in sorrow and communities shaken by this tragedy. May Your presence provide solace to those in distress, and may violence never be deemed a legitimate means of exerting power.
As the escalation of war between nations results in loss of life and the separation of families, we fervently cry out for peace. May leaders demonstrate restraint, prioritizing paths of reconciliation over destruction. Strengthen those caught in the midst of conflict, and may wisdom guide the way forward.
For the uncertain future of knowledge, as funding shifts and research suffers, we implore for clarity. May progress not be hindered by division, and may the pursuit of understanding remain a priority—for the well-being of all.
Where justice is served, corruption is exposed, and accountability is pursued, may truth prevail. Let integrity be restored in places where deception has prevailed, and may those affected by wrongdoing find resolution.
Above all, may peace prevail—not only in courts and governments, but also in communities, homes, and the hearts of all who yearn for something beyond conflict. May love guide us forward, and may wisdom lead the way. Amen 
How may I pray for you?
