God of all comfort, our only help in time of need: We humbly beseech thee to behold, visit, and relieve they sick servants for whom our prayers are desired. Look upon them with the eyes of thy mercy; comfort them with a sense of thy goodness. In thy good time, restore them to health, and enable them to lead the residue of their lives in they fear and to thy glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
For protection and strength for people of all faiths throughout the world.
For all victims of hatred and violence. For those who must flee for their lives. For those battling addictions. For those living on the streets.

Father of all, we pray to you for those we love, but see no longer: Grant them your peace; let light perpetual shine upon them;
and, in your loving wisdom and almighty power, work in them the good purpose of your perfect will; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
