Pray for the organizations and the churches around the world, who are serving their communities.

God, we pray for the organizations and the churches who are serving their communities and people around the world. Like so many others, these people are stepping outside the safety of their own homes and serving the ones who are hurting. We thank you for the Body of Christ stepping up to the plate to show the love of God to their neighbors. As the Coronavirus continues to affect lives around the world, we pray the church can be a light to the broken hearted and the hurt. We pray for wisdom as churches start to make the hard decision about when to open their physical doors again. As the church continues online, we pray that it impacts everyone who watches it. Thank you, Lord for guiding us through this pandemic as the Church.

 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’ Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers? The expert in the law replied, ‘The one who had mercy on him.’ Jesus told him, ‘Go and do likewise.’ -Luke 10:33-37 (NIV)

God, we ask for more Good Samaritan moments in our communities and throughout the world.

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
