God Most High,
in the shadow of Jesus’ cross
you have sheltered all creation from harm.
You have entrusted us with the good news of salvation.
We lift up to you all those in need,
who suffer sickness or danger,
who live in fear of violence or oppression,
and all who are on our hearts today…
Let your faithfulness shield your people from all ills.
We pray for those who seek refuge in you,
who long to dwell in your presence,
who go throughout the world serving you.
Protect your servants and guide them in faithfulness.
Almighty One, rescue; protect; answer; save.
We pray in the name of your Son Jesus Christ,
who is risen and lives among us always. Amen.
