Today, Lauren invites us to stretch our prayer even further.

Rooted in the promise of the Book of Isaiah (57:18–19), we are invited to intercede for those beyond our immediate circle—those we may never meet, yet whose suffering calls forth our compassion. Our prayer becomes wider, more generous, more like the heart of Christ.

Isaiah 57:18b-19
I will lead them and restore full comfort to them
and to those who mourn for them,
creating words of comfort.
Peace! Peace to those who are far and near,
says the Lord; and I will heal them.
