Loving Lord, just like the wise men, we come before you with our greatest treasure. Our open hearts full of abiding love for you. Hear our prayers.
We pray for the people involved in the New Orleans attack that killed 15 and wounded dozens on New Year’s Day. May the Holy Spirit console and comfort those that are grieving.
We pray for all those afflicted by war. We pray the suffering of people and destruction of homes and communities will end, and peace will prevail.
As temperatures continue to plummet, bringing the risk of wintry hazards, we pray for those that are vulnerable and isolated. May they receive the help and support they need.
We pray for those that are feeling worried and suffering with feelings of low self-worth. May friends and family help lift them from the shadows and lead them to the light..
We pray for a moment for our own personal petitions…
Loving Lord, please guide us throughout this year. Please help us to help others and give us peace of mind as we journey through 2025. Amen.
