Lord, extend your steadfast love
to all those today who are living under
the shadow of death
the shadow of conflict
the shadow of illness
the shadow of hunger
the shadow of abuse
the shadow of loneliness
the shadow of grief
the shadow of depression
the shadow of anxiety
the shadow of homelessness
the shadow of poverty
Lord, extend your steadfast love
so all people may take refuge
in the shadow of your wings.

Amen
