Rev. Mitchel Schuessler, Sr. LWML Pastoral Counselor, shares these prayers and asks you to pray with us:
Almighty heavenly Father, we give thanks to You that You care for the world each and every day. You never turn Your back upon us no matter how far we stray from Your way.
Today we come to You in humility, asking You to be with our nation in all the struggles which it is having. The unrest within our cities cause us concern. Peopleโs lives are hurt, even to the point of death. Property has been damaged. Our hearts are not filled with Your love and care for one another. Forgive us our sin of not loving one another. We pray that Your Holy Spirit would help each one of us to see the importance of each and every individual that You have created. Help us to care for the needs of one another; the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Remind us that we are to show Your love to one another. Please bring peace and unity to our struggling nation.
The struggles deepen as we deal with this pandemic. We pray that You would help each one of us to understand and care for each other. Help us to accept each other and the decisions that we make instead of judging each other and condemning one another.
Dear Lord, we pray for an end to this pandemic. We pray for those who are ill with the Coronavirus. Give to them healing in a timely fashion. We pray for our communities that they might continue to rebuild in order to grow and flourish. We pray for our nation, that there may be unity and peace, as only You can give.
We ask this all for the sake of Your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
