Dear God of mercy and mystery, You who dwell in the tension between power and humility, In the courtroom and the quiet friendship lost— We come before You with reverence, Carrying the headlines of a world in upheaval and awe, And seeking Your guidance for ourselves, our leaders, and all creation.
We lift up the economic decisions unfolding in our nation, As longstanding financial-reporting practices face dramatic change. O God, may transparency not be sacrificed for expedience, And may the reshaping of systems be guided by justice, not ambition. Let truth remain the foundation of trust, And may those most affected be heard and protected.
We pray for peace in Eastern Europe, As Russia conducts major war games in Belarus amid rising NATO tensions. O God, may this not be a rehearsal for conflict, But a call to diplomacy, restraint, and wisdom. Let nations seek resolution over rivalry, And may the people of Belarus and Ukraine be shielded from harm.
We hold in prayer the community mourning Charlie Kirk, As the suspect in his shooting prepares for court. O God, may justice be pursued with integrity, And may grief be met with compassion. Let this tragedy not deepen division, But stir reflection, healing, and a renewed commitment to peace.
We give thanks for the voice of Pope Leo XIV, Who speaks boldly against billionaires, polarization, and war. O God, may his words stir conscience and courage, And may the Church be a beacon of justice, mercy, and unity. Let faith not be a fortress, but a bridge, And may leaders of all traditions speak truth to power with love.
We reflect on the near-tragedy of a man nearly lost to error, Saved only by the intervention of a vigilant doctor. O God, thank You for the sanctity of life, For the courage to question, and the grace to act. May every life be treated with reverence, And may our systems be shaped by care, not haste.
We grieve the quiet heartbreak of a friendship shattered, Over a dog-show disappearance that left more than a ribbon missing. O God, remind us that relationships are sacred, And that trust, once broken, can be mended with humility and grace. Let forgiveness be possible, And may love outlast misunderstanding.
And in all these things— In every policy and protest, In every sanctuary and surgical room, 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 💕✌️🙏
