Lord, we give thanks for renewed strength as we wait on you. You promise that we will mount up with wings like eagles, and that we will not be weary or faint.

Lord, we pray for our governmental leaders, especially our President Joe, and Governor Jay, as well as those elected officials at our county and community levels. Give them wisdom as they face the challenges of leadership.

Lord, you heal the sick, you also heal the brokenhearted and support the afflicted. We claim this for all who are sick or in trouble, for all who are suffering from war and famine.

The Lord is gracious and full of compassion.
