Watch & Pray

Find a comfortable seat.

Relax your muscles and ease your mind.

Breathe freely and calmly for a moment.

Join me in this prayer,

Spoken in the first person,

As you seek God in this moment for your community.

Dear God,

Thank you for all that you are and all that you've done for me.

Thank you for your grace and mercy.

Thank you for my health and well-being.

Thank you for this time to watch and pray,

To be fully awake in your spirit,

To not be close to the needs around me.

I pray that my family,

Friends,

And community find peace,

That they are shielded from harm and illness,

That their needs be met,

That they are blessed with their wants and desires.

And most of all,

God,

I pray that they seek and find you.

As you take a deep breath in,

Exhale and say,

Amen.
