Now the Lord came and stood there, calling as before, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant is listening.” Then the Lord said to Samuel, “See, I am about to do something in Israel that will make both ears of anyone who hears of it tingle. (1 Samuel 3: 10-11)
When you call our names, may we listen. When you call our names, may we answer. When you call our names, may we hear you out, even if our ears tingle and our minds churn. Give us grace to listen, freedom to trust, and humility to yield the secret desires of our heart to your large purpose. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Give the king your justice, O God,
and your righteousness to a king’s son.
May he judge your people with righteousness,
and your poor with justice. (Psalm 72: 1-2)
Give the president your justice, O God, and your righteousness to his administration. Grant our leaders a sense of justice and goodness, that your will and purpose may prevail. May we, the citizens of this nation, care about the public face of your will and purpose. May we come together to order our common life according to your peaceful and gracious ways. This we pray in the name of Jesus, our King and the Ruler of the universe. Amen.

For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal, says the Lord, because they have called you an outcast. (Jeremiah 30: 17)
Come with your healing, O God. Cure the sick and restore us to health. Thirteen months have passed since a novel coronavirus was first detected and nearly twelve months since a public health emergency declared here in our country. Today we remember those who have died. Today we honor survivors, frontline, and essential workers. Today, we pray for those affected. Come with your healing, O God, and restore us to health. Amen.

But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. (Amos 5: 24)
You want justice – oceans of it. You want righteousness – rivers of it. Indeed, you are a God of peace and freedom, dignity and equity for all. Let your justice roll down like waters, and your righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. Grant us courage to withstand the world of greed, hatred, and violence and to be the streams of living water gushing out from your heart. Amen.
