Faithful Father, this evening I pray for our world. Many are living in fear. Lead them by 

your grace to peace. Many are hurting and desperate. Provide for them your loving 

presence to guide them through this time. I pray for those in authority and leadership, in 

business and government. Lord, I believe you placed them there. I ask that you provide 

them the wisdom they need to lead during this crucial time. Lord, provide us each with 

an extra measure of your grace that we might work together to protect the weak, 

provide for those in need, and care for everyone. I pray in the name of my savior Jesus. 

Amen.
