Dear Merciful and Sovereign God, in the shadow of sorrow and the weight of unfolding truths, we turn to You—our refuge, our healer, and our guide.
We grieve the lives lost in Gaza—nearly 100 souls seeking only sustenance, struck down in desperation. May Your comfort reach the families who mourn and may leaders be stirred to compassion, not conflict. Let aid be a lifeline, not a battleground. May justice rise where hunger has been met with violence.
Across the United States, floods sweep through homes and hearts, revealing the fragility of our foundations. As scientists warn and waters rise, may we awaken to our responsibility. Guide us to care for creation with reverence and to protect the vulnerable from nature’s fury and our own neglect.
For those who pursued the American dream only to find it crumbling beneath them, we ask for renewal. May hope be restored where homes falter and may systems be reshaped to serve not just prosperity, but dignity. Let shelter be a right, not a gamble.
We lift up the voices of those detained, silenced, and forgotten—like the woman who endured 45 days in an ICE prison. May her courage illuminate injustice and may her story stir hearts toward reform. Let no one be lost in the shadows of bureaucracy. May every soul be seen, heard, and honored.
Above all, may peace prevail—in war zones and waiting rooms, in flooded streets and fractured dreams, in the hearts of those who suffer and those who serve. May Your wisdom guide us, Your mercy sustain us, and Your love lead us forward. Amen. 
Whispers of Grace
