Care and Concern Prayer Father you have loved us into life. Thank you for your presence among us and for the many blessings you have given us. Jesus you have asked us to see your face in those who need to experience your love in their lives. Help us to walk in your footsteps as we use our gifts in service to others. Holy Spirit grant us wisdom, strength and patience and fill us with your joy and peace in our Ministry of Care and Concern. Amen
