Here’s
a prayer of intercession inspired by Psalm 42.
It was written by Rev. Adam J. Dillon.
Prayer of Intercession
(inspired by Psalm
42)
Eternal
defender of the poor and sad,
hear
our prayers for all who suffer.
For
those who are refugees, exiles from home,
because
of the cruelty of enemies or the vagaries of nature.
For
those who are starving
and
whose tears are their only food.
For
those who are desperate for a drink,
and
who thirst for life-giving water.
For
those who are sad and troubled,
whose
hearts break for want of hope.
For
those whose faith is weak,
who
feel that God has abandoned them.
Protector
of the weak, be with all who need you today.
May
they know that they are not forgotten.
