Pray for those with depression and anxiety.

Merciful God, we thank you for your promises. Today, we lift up all those suffering with depression and anxiety.  This time of separation and uncertainty are all the more difficult for those who already suffer with this mental health condition and for those experiencing it for the first time now.  Loving God, we thank you that you hear us when we cry out to you and for your promise to be near to the brokenhearted and to those crushed in spirit. We ask that you would replace the darkness of depression with your light. Through your Spirit, Lord, we ask that you replace sadness and anxiety with your joy and peace. Help all those who are weary in spirit and lift them from the pit of despair.  Come quickly, Lord, to save those who are crushed in spirit and experiencing anxiety. We thank you, that you call all of us who are burdened and weary to come to you, and for your promise of rest for our souls. We call upon you now and cling to your promises. Bring healing, in Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. - Psalm 34:17-18 (NIV)

Pray for Baltimore City/County Police Officers as they work to maintain peace and order where they work.

Lord, thank you for the men and women who have answered the call to civil service by policing streets, neighborhoods, communities and cities.  Today, we pray especially for those who police in Baltimore City and Baltimore County.  We pray for protection from harm and protection from illness.  Help those with whom they come into contact with, listen to and respect the authority they have been given by the State of Maryland. Thank you for their sacrifice to keep us safe and our communities in order. Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you - Hebrews 13:17 (NIV) Join others at 12 PM today to pray for our local and global community.

Pray for those who have been laid off, lost jobs, and awaiting unemployment benefits.

God, we pray for those who have lost or have been laid off from their jobs. God, we thank you for the ways that you have been a constant companion since the beginning of time. During this time when uncertainty and insecurity may try to overwhelm their thoughts and emotions, we pray that you would take captive those thoughts. Fill our brothers and sisters minds with memories of your faithfulness. Meet their needs each new day; may their debtors provide grace and friends rise up to support one another. Let humility prevail when offers of love and support are provided. Remind your people that their identity and worth is found in Christ – not by the titles we are given or the worldly esteem that the flesh so often leads desires. Lord, we lift these same petitions to you for those who are waiting to receive monetary support from the state. Remove any obstacles that may hinder the timeliness of these desperately needed benefits. Supply those waiting with patience and peace. Those who live in

Pray for educators.

Lord, thank you for the women and men that have chosen to teach as their vocation. You have gifted them with qualities of intellect, wisdom, creativity, and compassion. We ask you, Lord to guide these teachers as they discern the best ways to support their students during this new way of distance and online learning. Equip them with new ways of creativity to engage and empower both the students and their parents for successful learning. As so many are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious and uncertain, we ask you to provide teachers with extra patience, peace, grace, and positivity. We also turn our attention today to the parents who have now had to become academic educators at home, in addition to juggling other important responsibilities. Lord, help them to maintain structure and a sense of peace in their homes. As both parents and students struggle to engage academically, we ask that you provide endurance and flexibility. Lord, provide for the families that do not have the proper
