Dear Father

Dear Father,

For the weary and despaired
Let their hopes be renewed
For the downcast and sorrowed
Let the darkness be lifted
For the poor and needy
Let Your love stir the hearts of others
And let help come for them

For the weak and helpless
Let their strength be regained
For the hurt and stricken
Show them Your love and truth
Remind them that they are your children too

Above all, let your kingdom come
And let Your will be done
On earth, as it is in heaven

Amen.
