A prayer for those struggling in life

  I ask your prayers for all who face conflict;

  for those for whom life is an endless struggle;

  for those who are uncertain where their next meal will come from,

  or if it will come at all;

  for those for whom life seems dark and empty

  and for all who are hungry in our greedy, selfish world;

  for those sent away from the rich nation’s table empty-handed

  although there is enough for all.

  The Lord hears our prayer.

   I ask your prayers for all who face conflict;

  for those who are persecuted

  and all who are tortured and imprisoned for their faith in Christ.

  I ask your prayers for all who are neglected, ignored,

  or made to feel as if they do not count.

  I ask your prayers for those who, for the sake of others,

  stand against injustice, corruption, and evil

  and do so at great cost to themselves.

  The Lord hears our prayer.
