Lord, have mercy.
In all our needs…
In all all our hurts…
In all our anxiety…
Lord, have mercy.
With all our questions…
With all we know…
With all we don’t know…
Lord, have mercy.
For healing…
For peace…
For a stronger trust in your Word and promise…
Lord, have mercy.
To calm our doubts…
To soothe our fears…
To bear our griefs and carry our sorrows…
Lord, have mercy.
Help, save, comfort, forgive, strengthen and heal us by your grace.
Amen.
