Fools give full vent to their rage, but the wise bring calm in the end. (Proverbs 29:11)
Comforting God, our world sees a lot of loss, especially as we get older. Today, we think of our friends who have suffered a loss due to suicide. Embrace them O God, especially if there are questions like ‘what if’ and ‘why’. Help us to hold our friends and loved ones close to our hearts and to reach out to them and let them know they are not alone. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

The Lord is slow to anger but great in power, the Lord will not leave the guilty unpunished. His way is in the whirlwind and the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. (Nahum 1:3)
All-Seeing God, we pray for our friends who are accident prone. Today, it’s Injury Prevention Day. May we take time to look around our homes, workplaces, and places of recreation to see if there’s anything we can do to remove a hazard. Where some are preventable, help us to be ready and willing to help. Grant us hearts that are drawn to help and serve one another. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:18)
Today we think of all the men in our lives on this International Men’s Day. We thank you for the men who live with integrity, who share their wisdom and skills, and who share their love and passions with others. We thank you for their humour and their hard work. God, help us to be mindful that our world needs great men to help lead, teach, pray, and comfort many in our world. Be with them. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

But I, with shouts of grateful praise, will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed I will make good. I will say, ‘Salvation comes from the Lord.’”
Loving God, today is Transgender Day of Remembrance and for some of us, the idea of Transgender is confusing. For some of us, the idea is evolving. For some of us, the idea is our reality. Help us to be mindful that statistically, those who are Transgendered and die, are not from natural causes. Help us to simply love one another, as they are, without focusing on the need to know or to understand. May we focus on compassion, care, and loving one another. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. (Psalm 95:1)
Comforting God, we pray for Substitute Teachers today. We think of all the things they experience walking into difference classes and groups to provide coverage for our regular teachers. May they have strong backs, persistent minds, and a continued passion to help, to teach, to guide, and to help our kids grow as good people in our world. May they also be granted rest and permission to let the day slide away and the end of the day. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. (2 Corinthians 4:15)
On Saturdays we pray for children and families and it’s Love Your Freckles day. So, for our freckled families out there, be with them. May the variations of our skin and skin colours bring about curiosities and lessen division or fear. Help us to be with one another in ways that create understanding, growth, and a bond that strengthens our communities. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. (Psalm 100:4)
Today is Thankful for My Dog Day and so we give thanks for all the ruff friends in our lives. We thank you, O God, for all our companions, human or furry, who help us get through our days and our lives a little easier. Help us to be mindful that we all need something a little different for support, comfort, and care. Help us to share those needs with others, and also to serve in the ways needed. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
