Loving God, your Holy Spirit rescues us from the trials of the world, lifts us out of despair and apathy. Your light shines into our lives, and if we open ourselves fully to your love, we are transformed. We give thanks for your transformational love, which has touched our lives so that we will never again be lost. We believe. Help us when we fall short.

We lift Pam Dowell and her family, Zachary Aaron, Amanda Lou, Christopher Dale and Chad Greer. Provide them healing and strength to meet the challenges life has placed on them, help them find peace in you, to build their family relationships to enable faithful living, based on the promises you have made with us all. Let them know in their hearts that in you, they are never alone, and give them the courage to truly believe.

We lift Daphne Russell and her Aunt Sandy and Uncle Marty. Give them your peace, and strengthen them to face the struggles of this life, secure in the knowledge that nothing can separate them from your love.

Hear the prayers for Patricia Sundquist, her son Tony and her grandchildren Michael and Ericka. We pray that your healing is upon them, mend their broken hearts, uplift their spirits and abide in them. Where forgiveness is asked, let it be granted, and let their love for each other be modeled on your amazing love for us.

We pray for Kelly Wardlaw, Dora Ware, Shelly Hebel, Patricia Keil, Irma Martinez, Lorena Knight, Carrie Ann Nasiatka, Charlotte Johnson, Grady Vaughn and Linda Vaughn, Cheryl Wadsworth, Mirner Brown, Stormy McDowell and her mother, James Ray Perkins, Jr., Esther Werner Nelson, Holly Moore, Laura Davenport, Nena Shoemaker, your children seeking the path away from the darkness of sin and fear into the light of your love. Guide and protect them, be with them night and day.

Inmates at St. Tammany Parish Jail, Covington LA, Lowell Correctional Institution, Ocala FL, Federal Prison Camp in Pekin, IL, Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, TX, McPherson Unit for Women in Newport, AR, Henley Unit in Dayton, TX and all who are incarcerated in our country and around the world. Let your love be their strength and let your mercy fill them with the sure knowledge that in you, they are a new being altogether.

In the name of the Trinity God, the Father Creator, the Son Jesus Christ Redeemer, and the Holy Spirit dwelling with us and in us, we are empowered to pray today.
