For those searching for God: that their eyes and hearts may be opened to the many manifestations of God's love for them

For spiritual insight: that God will help us recognize God’s presence in our lives, the significance of our relationships, and God’s invitations to love and service

For all whose attention is fixed on the allurements of wealth, power, and prestige: that God will reveal to them their call to discipleship and the opportunities that God presents to use their gifts
