Policy and Prayer: Mandated Vaccines

Lord God, our Healer and our Refuge, We come to You with heavy hearts over the pain, division, and fear that surrounded COVID--especially the conflicts over mandates. You see every person who felt pressured, every person who felt unsafe, every family strained, and every friendship torn. Please forgive us for the ways we judged one another, spoke harshly, or let fear and anger lead us. Father, we ask for wisdom and truth. Guide leaders, doctors, employers, and policymakers to act with integrity, humility, and compassion--protecting public health while also respecting conscience and human dignity. Help decisions be grounded in honesty, careful evidence, and love for people, not power or profit. Lord, we pray for everyone who is suffering physically or emotionally--those harmed by illness, those dealing with long-term symptoms, and those who believe they were injured by treatment or vaccination. Bring healing where bodies are weak, peace where hearts are anxious, and comfort where grief remains. Give doctors insight, open doors to effective care, and provide provision for those facing medical bills, job loss, or stress. Heal our nation from division. Teach us to listen, to speak with grace, and to love our neighbors even when we disagree. Make us peacemakers--firm in convictions, gentle in spirit, and faithful in how we treat others. Jesus, be our Protector and our Prince of Peace. Restore trust, restore health, restore unity, and lead us forward with wisdom. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Forgive us Father for taking the Vaccine, and hurting ourselves, without realizing!

Father, I pray that the Supreme Court on Friday, January 4, 2023, will decide to decline the case about the federal mandates that require military members to take the shot (an experimental drug) to remain in service. I pray for Lt. Col. Long and her colleagues to have favor, to be encouraged and strengthened in all their efforts to right this wrong! I pray that you Father, will go before them! Praise the Lord for His faithfulness! He is our Rock and High Tower! Amen!
