Prayer List
Open unto me, light for my darkness
Open unto me, courage for my fear
Open unto me, hope for my despair
Open unto me, peace for my turmoil
Open unto me, joy for my sorrow
Open unto me, strength for my weakness
Open unto me, wisdom for my confusion
Open unto me, forgiveness for my sins
Open unto me, tenderness for my toughness
Open unto me, love for my hates
Open unto me, Your Self for myself
Holy Wonder, open unto me!
*Prayer by Howard Thurman
This week we pray for:
Jack Veney
Prayers of gratitude for all the ways you've enriched our lives over the years. Many blessings to you as you begin college at Ohio Northern!
Isaac Hostetler
Isaac is doing well after his gastrectomy. Prayers for continued healing.
Compassion Camp
Prayers of gratitude for the 16 campers and 10 helpers who made our Compassion Camp a fun and rich time of learning and fellowship. We witnessed the beauty of community that can be built when gifts across generations are appreciated and engaged. May we continue to live compassionately toward ourselves, our neighbors and our planet.
We pray for the people struggling for freedom, peace and justice; for places torn by conflict, famine and violence. Today we especially pray for the people of Ethiopia and Eritrea.
We pray for those who grieve, struggle and suffer as infections caused by the Delta variant of COVID-19 are on the rise especially among the unvaccinated in country. We pray for exhausted medical staff who care for the sick; for wisdom to do the right thing to protect the wellbeing of all in our communities; for people in countries with no access to the vaccine.
