![[PIC] Mountains are ringed in reflection on the surface of a calm lake [TEXT] Lord, we lift up all who are sick, suffering or in need of Your healing and comfort. Surround them with Your peace, strengthen their bodies and spirits and let them feel Your presence near. Provide what they need, Lord - whether rest, hope or help from others. May Your love be their refuge and their light in the darkness.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6dsdc4zongnbrmfcbalj3a27/bafkreihd7u7cgnv57tgqzxgv62r7pkqpq5r46ub3xx2m4bpufwwb5h2ph4)

![[PIC] A coffee cup and open book lay on a table in front of a window. It is gray and rainy outside. [TEXT] Lord, there are people carrying heavy weights. Reach into the places where words and help cannot go. Be close to the ones who feel abandoned in their pain. Give strength to those who are too tired to even ask for it. Remind them that their suffering has not gone unnoticed by You. Hold the ones who are barely holding on, and bring them through to the other side of this in ways only You can. Amen.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6dsdc4zongnbrmfcbalj3a27/bafkreienvkvwr7a7v576vdmxi7pdcb7c22wcz5cpipmtd5g2atbh4e6eju)
![[PIC] Light blue wooden background with spring flowers along the top [TEXT] God, as we reach the midpoint of our Lenten journey, we pause to reflect on Your boundless mercy and grace. Like the prodigal son who came home, draw us back to You when we have wandered astray. Open our eyes, as You opened the eyes of the blind, that we may see ourselves, others and You more clearly. Renew our commitment to prayer, fasting and giving, as we walk these remaining days toward the glory of Easter. Amen.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6dsdc4zongnbrmfcbalj3a27/bafkreicc5kbfjklwjlmryvy3i42m3yjkoylff5z4up7oyvl4n5w5ng762u)
![[PIC] Two hands stretch out to each other, a sunburst behind them [TEXT] Lord, grant us the wisdom to know that true strength is not found in the sword raised against our neighbor, but in the hand extended to shield the vulnerable, the weak and the forgotten. Let our power be measured by what we have preserved, not by what we have destroyed. Teach us the discipline of mercy that in protecting the least among us, we become worthy of your protection. Amen.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6dsdc4zongnbrmfcbalj3a27/bafkreie2hf4wsnanr44wdpoinqdjm7plvvcr3nidxaspooy7sboiotbt4m)
