Most merciful God, I pray for the countless homeless men, women, and children that blanket my community this day: Give them strength in the midst of suffering, comfort in the midst of fear, and provision in the midst of great need. Most of all give them an awareness of your deep love for them through your Suffering Servant, Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
