Prayers Of The People 

God, be with all who are on different kinds of journey. 

May they find safety in your loving arms, and may they find peace at their destinations.

God, in your mercy,

Hear our prayer. 

God, grant us a world in which every kind of journey is affirmed.

Grant us understanding of different cultures, experiences, and customs. 

God, in your mercy,

Hear our prayer. 

Grant us open minds and open hearts that we may see others for who they are, and not our expectations of them.

God, in your mercy,

Hear our prayer. 

Grant us strength within our bodies, our spirits, our minds, that we may open ourselves to what you wish us to see. 

God, in your mercy,

Hear our prayer. 

Grant us, O God, both strength and understanding for journeys which are involuntary, especially illness, grief, and great change. 

God, in your mercy,

Hear our prayer. 

Lead us in your ways, fill us with your love, with your patience, with your care. 

And may we find strength in serving others.

God, in your mercy,

Hear our prayer. Amen. 

Peace Be With You. – Paul
