God of all comfort,
you know the pain of broken relationships.
Many of your own followers left you
at the time of greatest need.
You know what sin has done to us.
That is why you came to save us,
at such a great cost to yourself on the Cross.
Grant comfort to your servant [insert name],
who is smarting from rejection.
Give him patience in his grieve
and wisdom for other relationships,
through your life-giving Spirit
and in Jesus’ holy name.
Amen.
Our Father in heaven, I come as your child.
May your name (all that you are) be hallowed—deemed holy by me and by all your creatures.
Your Kingdom be manifested here and now as it is eternally in heaven.
Give us today what we need, physically, spiritually, economically.
Forgive us when we do not hallow your name, when we use your hallowed name in vain or with malice.
In humility, since we sin and are forgiven through Christ, let us forgive those who hurt us, ignore us, and use us.
You alone will keep and settle the score.
Give us wisdom to not dwell where vice is contagious nor where virtue is mocked.
Deliver us from compromise with evil, from that which makes you, O Present One, seem absent.
We pray this because you have all power to establish your glorious Kingdom forever.
Amen.
