Loving God,
We lift our intentions to you this day and ask for your comforting and consoling Holy Spirit to be with persons who have challenges and anxieties in their lives that result in them forgetting or not believing in how much you love them. Lord, we lift up the following song for our friends who have these challenges in their lives, and ask you with great fervor to be with them and help them to make the best choice for their eternal relationship with you.
All you who seek a comfort sure
In trouble and distress,
Whatever sorrow burdens you,
Whatever grief oppress:
When Jesus gave himself for us
And died upon the tree,
His heart was pierced for love of us;
He died to set us free.
Now hear him as he speaks to us
Those words for ever blest:
“All you who labor come to me,
And I will give you rest.”
O Heart adored by saints on high,
And hope of sinners here,
We place our every trust in you
And lift to you our prayer.
Amen.
