A Prayer for Truth, Healing, and Peace in a Divided and Grieving World, September 4, 2025

Dear God of wisdom and mercy, You who dwell in the silence of discernment and the beauty of creation, In the halls of power and the rubble of disaster— We come before You with reverence, Carrying the weight of a world in turmoil, And seeking Your guidance for ourselves, our leaders, and all who suffer.

We lift up the voices rising in Washington, As RFK Jr. faces scrutiny over vaccine policy and the turmoil within the CDC. May truth be spoken with clarity, And may science and compassion walk hand in hand. Let public health be shaped not by division, But by care for the most vulnerable among us.

We pray for unity in a nation fractured, As vaccine mandates become battlegrounds between red and blue states. O God, soften hearts and open minds. May children be protected, communities be informed, And may fear give way to understanding.

We hold close the city of Washington, D.C., Where the deployment of National Guard troops has stirred legal and moral questions. May justice prevail over force, And may the streets of every city be places of peace, not occupation. Let autonomy be honored, and may leadership be rooted in service.

We ask for wisdom and integrity, As the DOJ investigates Fed Governor Lisa Cook. May truth be revealed without prejudice, And may institutions meant to serve the people remain free from manipulation. Let the rule of law be upheld with humility and care.

We cry out for the people of Afghanistan, Where the earth has shaken and the death toll climbs. O God, be near to the grieving, To the buried, the broken, and the brave. May aid reach the unreachable, And may the world respond not with delay, but with urgency and love.

We pause to honor the life of Giorgio Armani, A visionary who reshaped fashion with elegance and restraint. Thank You for the beauty he brought into the world, For the dignity he gave to design, And for the legacy that will continue to inspire. May his family and all who loved him be comforted in their sorrow.

And in all these things— In every courtroom and clinic, In every shelter and studio, In every act of courage and every cry for help— We ask:

May peace prevail. May love be our compass, May truth be our foundation, And may grace be the rhythm by which we live. Amen 💕✌️🙏
