Shared Prayer

O Gracious God You are the Lord, the God of all flesh, and nothing is too hard for You. for it is written that You ask us to consider Your power, so we bring You the places that feel impossible. For the believer under heavy pressure, for the one facing a closed door, for the one weary from long prayers, lift the weight of doubt and put courage in the heart. Speak, and let fear lose its grip. Do what only You can do in families, minds, and bodies, and let Your strength be seen where ours has failed. Establish our faith to ask largely and to expect boldly, by the word of the Lord that cannot be broken. Thank You for hearing, for holding us, and for answering in Your perfect wisdom and power. We give you thanks. Amen.
