Most Merciful God,
thank You for your sheltering presence over us
as we walk the path of discipleship this day.
Bless the hands of the healers--
doctors, nurses, caregivers,
parents, children, spouses,
partners, friends--
who work with quiet determination
for the relief of pain, disease, and suffering,
who watch over and wait upon those who are ill.
Bless the minds of the dreamers--
the scientists, the organizers, the teachers--
who see potential where others see problems,
who see what could be
and are willing to work to make it happen.
Bless the strength of the guardians
who seek to serve and protect all
against those who would harm others
either in defiance of or in the name of the law.
Holy One, envelop with in the cloud of your mercy,
and grant your peace to those for whom we pray.
Amen.
