As wildflowers in the fields
turn their faces to the warming sun, Lord,
we lift our hearts to You,
praising your steadfast love and faithfulness,
O God and Creator of All.
Fill us with wisdom, integrity, and compassion,
O Spirit of the Living God,
that we may hold each other in prayer
and encourage each other in steadfastness.
Strengthen those who are responsible
for the health and safety of others, Lord Christ,
and guide us into caring for each other
with wise and generous hearts.
Bless those who labor for the common good,
and strengthen them as they persevere, O God.
Bless nurses, caregivers, doctors, and researchers;
bless farmers, grocery store workers, and pharmacists;
bless first responders and EMTs and peace-keepers;
all who selflessly give of themselves
for the most vulnerable and anxious among us.
Pour out your mercy upon us, O Beloved Savior,
and grant your blessing upon those for whom we pray.
Amen.
