Holy Spirit, come and fill our lives, We pray for those who suffer,
We name them in our hearts now…

We pray for those who are abused or oppressed. We name them before you now…

Holy Spirit, teach us compassion and mercy. Lord in your mercy… Hear our prayer.

Lord God we pray for those who lead.

We ask that you would protect and guide Our pastors, leaders and teachers.

For our all in government – that they may seek justice for all.
