Watch Over All Your People

Gracious God and Father,
watch over all your people,
those who struggle with doubts,
those who struggle with the labors of life,
those who sometimes struggle as they seek you.
Calm our hearts with your Word,
and with your dear Son’s promise,
“I will give you rest.”
Pour out your abundant blessings on us,
give us the assurance of your love in Jesus Christ.
Give us confidence as we face the challenges ahead.
Give us health of body and spirit,
and blessings in all things;
through your Son who gave himself for us
so that we could be his,
Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
