For Those in Poverty and the Wayward
O LORD Jesus, Who didst choose to be poor rather than rich, have mercy on all who are in need and want. Comfort them in all sorrows, supply their needs, raise up friends for them, and give them grace to learn of Thee, and always to put their trust in Thy help. Have mercy, O blessed Saviour, on all who are living in sin, all who pray not for themselves and who care not for their own souls. Turn them to Thyself, and teach them to look to the things which belong to their peace before they are hidden from their eyes; for Thy sake, Who died to save us all. Amen.
