We pray for all
who are exposed
to winter’s cold:
people who clean the streets
people who provide essential services
people who travel
people who go to work
people who are unhoused.
Watch over all your children, God.
Move us to work for a world
where all your children
have shelter from the storms
and places and clothing to keep them warm.
We pray in the name of Jesus,
who had no place to lay his head. Amen.
