IN: Our shepherds ask that we pray today for the families of our congregation, and especially those families that are experiencing difficulties. Ask God to bless troubled marriages and bring healing and peace and reconciliation where there is conflict. Ask God to bless parents as they seek to raise their children, that they might exercise a healthy authority balanced by love. Pray especially today for those children who are growing up in homes that are broken by discord or divorce.
PR: Today, we praise God for the gift of prayer; for the blessing of being able to talk to our Father at any time and be confident that He hears, He cares, and He is willing and able to answer our petitions. We especially give thanks for the mediation of Jesus, our High Priest, who speaks to the Father on our behalf when we approach God's throne; and for the Holy Spirit, who intercedes for us when we do not even know what we ought to pray for.
MN: Today we are thankful for all of those who work with our local Hospice program. We thank them for all that they do to minister to patients and family alike as loved ones transition from this life to the next.
