and continue to be present with us at all times and in all things, O God, and we are grateful. Be present, we pray, with all who call on your name, and also those who use a different name than "Lord," as well as those who do not have a name for you as Redeemer, Lord, Savior, Friend. Infuse their souls with strength who cry out from illness and poverty and hopelessness and fear. You are sovereign, Almighty God, and your reign is without end. Speak to the leaders of nations, Lord. Speak of justice and peacemaking. Speak of compassion and hope. Speak of unity and interdependence. Speak of courage and of kindness. You are just, Eternal One, and your justice shows no favor for the wealthy or the powerful, but for the oppressed and the voiceless, for the poor and the distressed. Hold out your hand, O Lord, to those who are in trouble. Protect those who are in danger. Protect those whose lives hang in the balance as a result of greed. Stand as a shield, we beg you, between those who would destroy liberty and those who do not understand the risk. For your steadfast love and faithfulness, we bow in gratitude, Loving God. Do not give up on your children.
