Dear God,

When the world is hurting, you call us to pray.  You ask us to lift up our brothers and sisters at home and around the world.  No matter whether they are part of our biological family or the whole human family, you remind us each one is your child and family to us all.

You call us to pray for each other's nation.  You ask us to pray for each other's government.  You request we pray for each other's leaders.  You ask us to care enough to treat them like family.

Our world hurts, Lord; it really hurts.  We are anxious.  We are stressed.  We are hurting.  Help our world, we pray.

Thank you
for your
loving spirit
who dwells
within us.
Thank you
for reminding us
we are family.
Thank you
for reminders
to pray.

Love, Andrea
