Lord, Jesus Christ:
You said, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you” (John 14:27a).  We join our prayers to those of the people of Ukraine, who look to the heavens for peace and protection during this time of violence and oppression.  And we ask for your mercy, that it may change the hearts and minds of those who have chosen the path of destruction. Amen.

A prayer for the selection of our next Bishop:
We pray for the Rev. Fred Devall and the Rev. Canon Shannon Duckworth, candidates for the 12th bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana. And we pray for the clergy and lay delegates who will select our next bishop on May 14, that they may be guided by the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Dear Father,
Send down your blessings on law enforcement officers, firemen, and first responders. Grant them courage, wisdom, strength, and compassion in all their work. When the alarm sounds, let them faithfully serve you in their neighborhood. Amen.
  
Dear Lord,
Today, we pray for your peace. We pray that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard the hearts and minds of all health care workers.  We also ask for courage. Please, grant them your spirit of courage. Grant them a sound mind as they make decisions. We pray for all the physicians, nurses, and health care providers involved in this pandemic May they be blessed with the wisdom and grace needed to provide the best care possible. Amen.
