Dear Gracious and Eternal Spirit, as we prepare for the upcoming week, we gather in spirit to uplift all places of worship, particularly the Champaign-Urbana Society of Friends. We express our gratitude for the diverse expressions of faith that connect us across our communities, reminding us of our shared journey toward love and understanding.
May every place of worship be filled with Your presence, creating sanctuaries of peace, hope, and healing. We ask for Your Spirit to flow freely among all gathered, igniting their hearts with compassion and unity. Let our worship be infused with genuine love and a desire to serve one another, reflecting Your grace in our actions and words.
In particular, we lift up the Champaign-Urbana Society of Friends. May their gatherings be a time of deep listening and open hearts. Bless their moments of worship and fellowship, guiding their reflections and ministries. Let the silence they embrace resonate with Your wisdom, fortifying their resolve to walk together in truth and light.
We also pray for all congregations around the world that they may pursue justice, reconciliation, and peace. In a time that often feels divided, remind us of the beautiful tapestry of faith that weaves us all together. May each place of worship be a beacon of hope and love, inviting all who seek refuge from the storms of life.
As we step into a new week, grant us the courage to embody kindness and grace in our interactions with one another. Let the bonds of community strengthen as we support each other in our spiritual journeys, understanding that we are all part of the greater whole. May our lives reflect the light of Your love, bringing comfort and encouragement to those we meet. In Your holy name, we pray. Amen 
How may I pray for you?
