Who has asked for your prayers?

For whom will you pray today?

Take a moment recall in prayer

    and by name,

those you'll pray for today...

 

I have so many people to pray for, Lord,

and though I know you know them each by name

and the burdens each one bears,

I'll rest with greater ease

if I can lift them up in prayer...

For the one who's heart is broken
as his family breaks apart:
    be with him, Lord,
    and help him through his trials,
    day by day by day...

For the one who lives with pain, Lord,

and suffers sleepless nights:

    be with her, Lord, and heal her

    in body, mind and soul...

For the one who's grieving deeply,
whose lost his life-long love:
    be with him, Lord, and warm his heart
    as she did his, six decades plus...

For the one who's tired, all burned out,

whose patience grows so thin:

    be with her, Lord, as time goes by

    and be her strength and hope...

 

For the one whose faith is shaky
and who struggles to believe:
    be with him, Lord, and show yourself 

    his faithful, loving friend

For the one who prays and worries
for the health of one she loves:
    be with her, Lord, and help her trust
    your love and care for every soul...

For the one oppressed by prejudice,

put down, shut out and scorned:

    be with her, Lord, and change our hearts

    'til all are one in you...

For the one who lives in prison,
long days and nights unending:
    be with him, Lord, and free his heart
    'til he walks free again...

For the one who keeps her distance,
in fear of many things:
    be with her, Lord, and help her trust
    in you, herself and us...

For the one who bears a burden, Lord,

known but to a few:

    be with him,  ease his mind

    and give him strength to carry on...

 

For all the ones who've asked for prayers,
for many different reasons:
    be with them, Lord, and in your time,

    restore and give them peace...

Amen.
