Pray for healing

Provident God, pour upon us your grace and healing

Provident God, pour out upon us your grace and healing in these times of transformation, change, reform and transition at Providence, as we live out our Mission and values.

We stand with our colleagues who have been impacted by the changes announced this week, and ask that you guide and direct them on the journey of life and change. We pray for the strength we need to meet these challenges as opportunities.

Help all of us to use our gifts and talents for your glory in our world today as humble servants in your kingdom as we explore our options and future. May we always strive to reveal God’s love for all, especially the poor and vulnerable through our compassionate service.

Be with all of our staff and administration in these difficult decisions and may we all remain calm and compassionate in these times of stress and change. May we be people who respect each other’s dignity; be people of compassion, who work for justice and strive for excellence; and be stewards who promote the common good of all in everything we do.

We lift up to you our feelings, emotions, uncertainties, pain and loss, and trust that you will be with us and lead us today and in our future.

Amen
