Ada Congregational

Teach us to honor the earth as your good creation and to live gently upon it. We pray for North America and the Arctic, where abundance and inequality live side by side. We lament political division, violence, and policies that burden the poor and protect the powerful. We grieve lives lost to preventable harm and communities stretched thin by fear and exhaustion. Yet we give thanks for mutual aid networks, for courageous organizing, for teachers, caregivers, and advocates who refuse to accept injustice as inevitable. Help us to share our bread with the hungry, and to welcome the unhoused into safe shelter.
