Prayers of the People and Lord’s Prayer

Dear Lord –
These are times of
great upheaval, of natural disasters, of changes in our weather, times of
violence, of war, times of transitions, of our place in this world. We come to
you hurting, in pain, needing rest, your peace. We come to you hopeful, knowing
you are with us, in all that we face.
We have lifted up those
who are in pain, those who are sick; we lift up our nation, the world, all of
us. Watch over us Lord, come into each situation, heal us, mend us, we want to
be your people.
We come to you waiting,
trusting, believing, knowing you will provide, that you will heal us, that we
can walk boldly, safe in your arms. Help us when we struggle, when we are
anxious even in times of plenty. Guide us back to you, when we stray from your
path
We bring our lives to
you and we lay our joys, our concerns, our celebrations and our worries at your
cross. We trust in You, our Creator and our Savior, your Spirit within us. We
pray all these things in the name of our Risen Savior, Jesus Christ,
And we join together with
all of Christ’s disciples sharing the prayer that he taught his first
disciples, saying. . .
Our Father, who art in
heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy
kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive
those who trespass against us. And lead
us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and
the glory, forever.
Amen.
