 “Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray.” (James 5:13)

After the Will Smith-Chris Rock Oscar moment, Denzel Washington and Tyler Perry stepped “into the gap,” as Washington said. He and Perry prayed with Smith. Said Washington, "Who are we to condemn? I don't know all the ins and outs of the situation, but I know the only solution was prayer."

Since there is no shortage of trouble on this side of paradise, there is ample opportunity to pray!

“Assist us mercifully, O Lord, in these our supplications and prayers, and dispose our way towards the attainment of everlasting salvation; that, among all the changes and chances of this mortal life, we may ever be defended by your gracious and ready help; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (For Protection – BCP p. 832)
