Pause for Prayer: THURSDAY 6/6


Lord, I lift up to you
all the people so busy
they don't know just what to do next...

And I lift up to you
all the folks so bored
they think they’re gonna go crazy…

I lift up to you
all the unemployed
who wait for a job to support them…

I lift up to you
all the suffering and sick
who beg for an end to their pain…

I lift up to you 
all those now in prison
who long to be free to go home...

I lift up to you
all the folks in deep sadness
who yearn for the healing of grief...

I lift up to you
all who stand in harm's way
for the sake of our freedom and peace...

I lift up to you
all the folks so long hurting
they doubt they'll ever find peace...

I lift up to you
the depressed and despairing
who hunger for promise and hope…

I lift up to you
the confused and confounded
who long for your wisdom and truth...

I lift up to you
the abused and mistreated
who wait for the nightmare to end…

I lift up to you
all who search for faith,
who thirst for belief and conviction…

I lift up to you
the poor and the hungry
who wait for a place at our tables...

I lift up to you
the forgotten and lonely
who long for companions and friends...

I lift up to you
the hooked and addicted
who work their recovery a day at a time…

I lift up to you
all the folks who are lost,
who fear they’ll never be found...

I lift up to you 
those with no help at hand:
hear my prayer and come to their aid...

I lift up to you
all who've suffered my faults
and I pray they'll forgive what I've done...

I lift up to you
all the people I've wounded
and I pray you'll heal those I've hurt...

I lift up to you
myself and my needs
and ask that you answer my prayer...

I lift up to you, Lord,
all people in need 
and I pray you'll deliver us all... 

Amen.
