Father God I pray over our Church, our intimate circle of believers, and each close friend, that we seek You with our whole self, hiding nothing, and without distraction. Father keep our focus in this time of trial, upward, looking forward, with the clarity of Your eyes. Give us each a heart of discernment to know what is good, right, and true. Strip fear and worry, from any person overcome by it, for it has no place in Your presence. Fill each of us with Your peace, wisdom, and steadfast presence. Help each of us walk like Your Son, Jesus Christ, so we are lighting the way with the hope and strength of Your Heavenly Kingdom. Do not let us stray from Your voice, and Your continual guidance. May we hear clearly and act upon Your will for our community. May we grow deeper roots of faith, knowing You do not take risks, because You know all and see all. You are our great provider and comforter, so remind us to put our trust in You, that we grasp Your outstretched hand, walking with You each day. May we choose to actively pick up our cross and bear it daily for Your glory.

In Jesus Name, Amen
