God of seedtime and harvest,
Have mercy on us and hear our prayer:
For children who go to bed hungry at night,
and for parents who cannot find food for them.
Lord, hear our prayer.
For communities hungry because of flood, fire, or drought,
and for governments who struggle to provide for them,
Lord, hear our prayer.
For farmers sowing seed and raising livestock to feed the world,
and for their care for the land that provides their livelihood,
Lord, hear our prayer.
For subsistence farmers vulnerable to climate changes,
and for market gardeners vulnerable to price variations,
Lord, hear our prayer.
For those who are committed to organic farming practices,
Lord, hear our prayer.
For the wellbeing and ethical treatment of livestock,
and for those who raise, transport, and slaughter animals for food,
Lord, hear our prayer.
For soup kitchens, food banks, and aid agencies,
and for the donors, volunteers, and staff who help feed the hungry,
Lord, hear our prayer.
For remote communities where fresh food is expensive and in
short supply,
Lord, hear our prayer.
For policymakers and planners in land use and food production,
and for community educators in diet and nutrition,
Lord, hear our prayer.
Gather us in to your heavenly feast where all who hunger and thirst for justice will be satisfied.
