Lord God, you come and seek us out, you call us and empower us to live to your glory, you are our Shepherd and guide, you are our God. We pray for all who have strayed from the faith, all who have gotten lost in various ways, especially any who lives are in danger.
God our protector, we remember before you all who work or live in dangerous places or a hostile environment, all who are suffering at this time from storms and disasters, all who are caught up in stife and warfare. We pray for all who are seeking peace and well being for the world: we remember the United Nations and peace-keepings forces.
Lord we give thanks for all who have sought us out in times of troubles, who have been a strength and a joy to us. We pray that you will guide all who teach and influence others. Let us know your presence in our homes and with our loved ones. Guide us in our friendships.
We ask you to be with all who walk in darkness; may your love and light protect the depressed and despairing; may your strength and hope be known to the discouraged. We ask your blessing upon all who are ill at home or in the hospital.
We pray for all who are entering the shadow of death and for their loved ones in their time of anxiety. Bless all who are in hospice and all who have the care of the terminally ill. We pray for all who have passed through death and entered life eternal.
Good and faithful Shepherd,
guide us into the ways of life and peace.
