O Lord, in this trembling world where darkness grows bold, we turn to You—our refuge, our peace. Protect my loved ones, for I cannot bear the weight of loss. Cover us beneath Your wings, and let no harm come near our hearts. Stand beside the broken, and bring justice for the wronged. We lift up the voices of the victims, though they are not in our midst, their pain echoes through our prayers. Lord, keep us safe from the cruel and the cunning, and soften the hearts of those who do evil— for even the villain can be redeemed by Your grace. Make this world new again, a garden of mercy where peace may bloom. Let Your glory shine through every nation, and Your love reign over every soul. Amen.
