Prayer for separation in trouble

Holy One we ask your blessing on those we love who are far from us. Those in danger or peril, those in distress or pain. We long to be with them to comfort and protect them. In our absence wrap them in your loving embrace that they might know your presence. For You are always with them, and they are never far from You. Be their protection and their strength we beseech you. Be their comfort and help. Remind them of our love for them with each breath they draw. And keep them in the knowledge of Your steadfast love. For the sake of Him who lived and died and rose again for us. Amen.
