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 in a special way, appreciating and celebrating them, marking this moment with joy. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. -Romans 12:10 (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.

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
