O Loving God, with whispered sighs we place ourselves within the circle of your mercy today. Help us tear down the walls of fear, rejection and prejudice, and shield us from those who are heedless to the pain they cause. We pray for those who find no rest, no peace, that the embrace of your love may enfold them. We pray for those who feel they are sinking, that the arms of grace may bear them up as a mother carries a sleeping child. We pray for those exhausted from the fight, that the Spirit of healing and strength warm them and bathe them in light. O Merciful God, pour out your peace and grace like oil on the troubled waters of our times. Send your blessing especially on those we now name.
Amen.
