Gracious God, who sends rain on both the just and the unjust, reveal to us if there is anyone for whom we are reluctant to pray and bless, that our hearts might be softened and we might desire good for everyone, both friend and enemy, through Jesus our savior, who died that all could live and now reigns in heaven with you and the Holy Spirit forever. Amen.
‘First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone… This is right and acceptable before God our Savior, who desires everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.’ – 1 Tim. 2:1, 3-4
