Prayers for Servants Who Care

For Caregivers

Blessed Lord, who gives grace to the humble, remember those who care for the elderly that the dread and exhaustion of their days will be relieved.  Give help, renewal and refreshment as they tackle multiple tasks and emotions, so that they may be exalted in due time and realize that You care for caregivers and parents.   We pray in the name of Jesus, who commanded a storm to be quiet, and it was.  Amen.

For Servants & Victims of Abusive Trafficking

O Christ, who suffered while on Earth, prepare our hearts to better understand how that suffering and your grace can ease the pain of innocent children within our spheres of influence.  Enable us to have new perspectives and actions in order that those who today are trapped as abuse victims may be able to freely walk in your light and be born anew.   We pray in the name of Jesus, who set the oppressed free.  Amen.
