Dear God,

We reflect and listen to your voice and continue following your ways. We pray that you would open our ears and our hearts to hear your call and to respond with obedience.

We ask that you protect us from the dangers that lurk in the darkness and from the enemies that seek to harm us. May your light shine brightly in our lives and lead us on the path of righteousness.

We also pray for the leaders in our communities, that they would be wise and discerning in their actions and decisions. May they seek your guidance and be guided by your spirit as they lead and care for those under their charge.

Finally, we ask that you would comfort those who are hurting and bring healing to those who are broken. May your love and mercy be comforting to our souls and a source of strength in times of trouble.

In Jesus name,
