God, treasure our lives in baptism.

God, sustain our efforts to become your presence on earth.

God, build our lives into a loving and peace filled Church.

God, open us to your wisdom when we rely only on ourselves.

God, provide your tender love when we feel abandoned.

God, encourage the lost and lonely.

God, heal the people who carry heavy burdens of abuse.

God, give us peace when violence overwhelms our lives.

God, bring us in communion with your love.

God, help us become a community of hope.

God, chase after the depression and those who despair.

God, send us on a mission of hope for all people.

God, remain with us in moments of loss and ill health.

God, shepherd us into your Kingdom.
