Prayer Offered for May 30, 2017

God of mercy and compassion, be with us this day as we work to bring wholeness to a world of brokenness, mistrust, and infidelity.

Send the light of Your abundant love to those who are lonely and afraid.

Break the chains of those imprisoned by hate and fear.

Wrap our doubts and failures in the arms of Your forgiveness.

Give healing comfort to those mourning the loss of loved ones, whether through illness, war, or natural disaster.

May we be Your instruments of mercy and peace today. Give us the courage to challenge all that enslaves the human spirit. We ask this in Your name.—AMEN.
