Dear God of mercy and wisdom, you who see the burdens behind every headline, And hold the stories too tender for print— We come before You with reverence, Carrying the weight of a world in transition, And seeking Your guidance for ourselves, our leaders, and all who are affected.
We lift up the laborers across this nation, As the summer’s weak job market signals deeper economic strain. For those searching for work, for those fearing layoffs, For families stretched thin and futures uncertain— May Your provision be near, And may our systems be reshaped with compassion and equity. Let dignity be restored to every worker, And may opportunity not be a privilege, but a promise.
We cry out for the 475 individuals arrested in the Hyundai immigration raid, Caught in the crosswinds of policy and politics. O God, be near to the detained, the displaced, the afraid. May justice be tempered with mercy, And may the pursuit of law never eclipse the humanity of those it touches. Let our borders be places of welcome, And may our economy be built not on fear, but on fairness.
We pray for the halls of power, As the Pentagon is rebranded the Department of War. May strength never be confused with aggression, And may our military serve not only to defend, but to preserve peace. Let our leaders be guided by wisdom, And may the tone of our institutions reflect the values of justice, restraint, and hope.
We give thanks for the ruling that blocks the stripping of protections From over 900,000 Haitians and Venezuelans. O God, may this be a turning point— A moment where compassion triumphs over exclusion. Let these families find safety, stability, and the chance to thrive. And may our laws reflect the sacred worth of every person, Regardless of origin or circumstance.
And in all these things— In every courtroom and construction site, In every policy and paycheck, 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 💕✌️🙏
Whispers of Grace
