For a willingness to take care of our neighbor in need, Lord hear our prayer.

For a spirit of unity to move forward together, Lord hear our prayer.

 

From the horrific loss of human life to Covid, deliver us Lord.

From the economic slump due to Covid, deliver us Lord.

From hatred and division, deliver us Lord.

From selfishness and indifference, deliver us Lord.

From fear of change, deliver us Lord.
