O Lord, you protect us.
You watch over us and listen when we call for help.
You stand firm against evil and create a future filled with goodness.
We pray for your people who work for justice and righteousness.
Listen and protect everyone who does good.
Come close to those whose hearts are broken,
whose spirits or hopes are crushed.
Deliver the righteous from every trouble.
Protect our bodies from illness, injury, and pain.
Give healing and compassion to everyone who suffers.
Do justice in the world, and let your perfect will be done.
Watch over everyone who takes refuge in you,
keep us faithful,
and connect us to Christ’s perfect grace.
We pray in his name. Amen.
