God of healing, where injustice and exploitation result in populations that are marginalized or underserved, accompany those abandoned by friends, hurt by family, and harmed by violence or oppression.
Care for all who are ill, anxious, or in pain of any kind especially Richard Kotick, Teri Madey, Nancy, Roger, Charlie, Dorothy Ulich, June Trenty, Loretta Thornton, Alex West, Mina, Cecelia, Susie Siebert, Don Walter, Darine Prok, Margery Murray, Rosemary Evans, Alan Ivan Jr, Ed Elkins, and Jerry Jakovcic.
We pray for our friends in Tennessee: Donna, Danny, Angela & Isaiah, Loretta, Tommy, and Rachel . . . and those we hold tenderly in our hearts.
