Pray for marriages challenged by unexpected circumstances caused by COVID-19: illness, finances, children, parents, uncertainty, loss, but also opportunity.

Lord, we pray for marriage today... ALL marriages. During this time of Social Distancing and Stay at Home orders, marriages are facing multiple distractions. This “new normal” came quickly and without warning. There is not much that can be done, but find ways to address the immediate circumstances and where possible, determine some near-future opportunities.

As we pray, let us: ask, seek, and find.

We ask for each spouse to have a spirit of openness and willingness to work together to find appropriate next steps and have wisdom and clarity in using wisely the resources they have. Give marriages a spirit of togetherness... thinking ‘we’ rather than ‘me.’

We seek for each spouse an understanding of how YOU can use this experience to make us more loving and strong with an attitude of thoughtfulness and prayerfulness rather than panic.

Father, help each spouse find a purpose for staying in the struggle, allowing the community around them to provide spiritual encouragement through another person, couple, or family who can offer support during this difficult time.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. - Proverbs 3:5-6 (ESV)

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 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
