Dear God of justice and mercy, you who reside in the realm of discernment and the tempest of upheaval, we come before you with reverence, bearing the weight of global headlines and the anguish of humanity.
We lift up our nation as investigations unfold and power dynamics shift. May truth be pursued with integrity, and justice neither be weaponized nor withheld. Let those entrusted with authority be guided by wisdom, and humility temper ambition.
We pray for economic stewards, as Chair Powell and the Federal Reserve navigate the uncharted territory of uncertainty. May decisions be made with compassion for the vulnerable, and a balance struck between growth and empathy. Let financial policy serve the common good, not merely the privileged few.
We hold close the streets of Washington, D.C., where the National Guard now stands armed. May peace be preserved, not provoked. Let safety be rooted in trust, and every citizen feel protected, not policed.
We cry out for Gaza, where famine has now been confirmed. O God, break the blockade of indifference. Let aid flow freely, and hearts be moved to action. May the suffering be recognized, and the world respond not with delay but with urgency.
We honor the caregivers, such as the woman who has dedicated her life to serving older Americans for decades, now facing displacement and uncertainty. May her story awaken us to the dignity of labor and the sacredness of those who serve quietly, faithfully, and with love. Let compassion guide our policies, and no one be cast aside for political expediency.
We reflect on the shifting landscape of college sports, where profit and power threaten the very essence of the game. May integrity return to the field, and young athletes be honored not solely for their talent but also for their humanity.
And in all these matters—in every courtroom and classroom, in every deployment and decision, in every cry for help and every act of courage—we ask:
May peace prevail. May love be our language, may justice be our compass, and may grace be the rhythm by which we live. Amen 
Whispers of Grace
