Domestic Violence

On Thursday Night:

https://centerforfamilyjustice.org/events/domestic-violence-candlelight-vigil-monroe/

Prayers:

Gracious God, like a mother hen you shelter us under your wings: Bring your truth and love into homes where domestic violence has shattered the peace. Provide sustenance for the victims and accountability for the abusers. Send wise and courageous friends who can offer alternatives, and bring your healing power into broken relationships. May your church provide a haven of safety
and peace for the abused and reach out to support all who serve the needs of the abused in our communities; Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

God of all creation, no sparrow falls but you take notice, look with compassion upon all who suffer from violence in their homes, in our communities and the world. Open our hearts and awaken our minds to act on behalf of our sisters, that our world might become a haven of peace and safety for all. We ask this in the name of the one who transforms our lives, Jesus Christ. Amen.
