For those we love
Almighty God, we entrust all who are dear to us to your never-failing care and love, for this life and the life to come, knowing that you are doing for them better things than we can desire or pray for; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
For those seeking a deeper relationship with God
God be in my head, and in my under-standing; God be in my eyes and in my looking; God be in my mouth, and in my speaking; God be in my heart, and in my thinking; God be at my end, and at my departing. Amen.
For a Person in Trouble or Bereavement
O merciful Father, who hast taught us in thy holy Word that thou dost not willingly affilct or grieve the children of men: Look with pity upon the sorrows of thy servant for whom our prayers are offered. Remember him, O lord, in mercy, nourish his soul with patience, comfort him with a sense of thy goodness, lift up thy countenace upon him, and give him peace through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
