Prayer Offered for April 13, 2026

As we bring ourselves into awareness of God’s presence today, we pray for all who still long to experience God’s heart of mercy:

For all who suffer and struggle alone—may they receive healing and support;

For all who experience injustice and persecution—may they receive strength and courage;

For all who grieve and mourn—may they receive comfort and peace.

God of love and mercy, all of the days of our lives are in Your hands. Help us to know Your presence in each unfolding event; Your active, enabling grace in every circumstance; and Your enduring call to follow You each day with courage and gratitude.—AMEN.
