Dear God of wisdom and mercy, we come before You with reverence, bearing the weight of a world in flux—a world yearning for justice, clarity, and peace.
We lift up the leaders and workers within the CDC as pressure mounts and resignations unfold. May truth be honored above agendas, and may public health be guided by compassion, science, and integrity. Let courage rise in those who speak truth, and may the vulnerable never be forgotten in the reshaping of policy.
We pray for Lisa Cook, as her lawsuit becomes a battleground for the soul of governance. May justice be done with clarity and care, and may institutions meant to serve the people remain free from manipulation and fear. Let wisdom guide the courts, and may the dignity of every public servant be upheld.
We mourn the lives lost in Minneapolis, where children gathered in prayer and were met with violence. O God, hold their families in Your tender embrace. Let healing rise where trauma lingers, and may communities find strength in compassion, not fear. We remember the words: “I know some kids weren’t going to get up.” May we never grow numb to such sorrow.
We cry out with the people of Kyiv, where missiles shattered lives and diplomacy failed. As European leaders grieve and rage, may unity be forged in the fire of loss. Let peace be more than a distant hope—let it be a shared resolve, born of love and justice.
We reflect on the arrival of new Acela trains, promising speed but revealing delay. May this remind us that progress is not always linear, and that patience, too, is a virtue. Let innovation serve the common good, and may every journey—literal or spiritual—be met with grace.
And in all these things—in every courtroom and classroom, in every sanctuary and summit, in every act of courage and every cry for help—we ask:
May peace prevail. May truth be spoken. May justice be done. And may love be the rhythm by which we live. Amen
