Pray for those who are mourning and grieving the death of a loved one.

God of compassion, we lift up those who are mourning and grieving the death of a loved one during this time. Surround them with your presence and fill every longing during this time of separation. We ask that you would hold them close to your heart in the moments when they feel helpless, alone and caught up in deep sadness. God of comfort, in their grief, would you shelter them in the shadow of your wing. Ever-faithful God, help them to feel your love through these words of hope to all your people from the prophet Isaiah: "Because you are precious to me, because I love you, there is no need to be afraid, for I am with you." Father, in this time when families and friends cannot draw near to one another for comfort, we ask that you would be their strong rock, their comforter, healer and friend. Draw them close to you, Lord, and help them to sense your deep love and promised presence.  In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. -Matthew 5:4 (NIV)

Pray that we would "Dare to Love" the graduates in our community.

God, we lift before you those who this spring, are reaching the culmination of a journey of educational pursuits, completing high school, college, apprenticeships or graduate programs. We know how hard they’ve worked to reach this “finish line” and, like you Father, look upon them with a godly pride of a job well done and a race well run. And like you Father, we also lament with them, as the way in which they anticipated being acknowledged and celebrating this milestone with friends, family, their educational influencers, and their fellow co-laboring classmates will fall short of their hopeful expectation. Although it may not be the same, may we not, however, let this moment go by without making an intentional effort to honor them, letting them know how much we care and how proud we are. Specifically, we pray for the “adopt a senior” initiative. May many names of graduates be offered and may each graduate be adopted by an extended community of family that "Dares to Love" them...

Philippians 4:8-9 (New International Version)

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
